As Lee Na-yeon and Nam Hee-du, who appeared on “Exchanging Lovers 2,” are embroiled in breakup rumors, it is being re-examined that Lee Na-yeon had previously directly refuted such suspicions.
On the 21st, speculation spread across online communities and social media that Lee Na-yeon and Nam Hee-du may have broken up.
Rumors of a breakup between the two have been raised since last September. Some netizens cited as evidence that photos taken together had disappeared from Lee Na-yeon’s and Nam Hee-du’s SNS, and that Lee Na-yeon was not wearing her usual couple ring in a recent video.
Additionally, the fact that YouTube content featuring both of them has not been uploaded since last August lent credibility to the breakup rumors.
Furthermore, speculation continued that changes may have occurred in their relationship due to a long-distance romance, as Nam Hee-du recently expanded his career to the North American ice hockey scene.
However, it is difficult to definitively conclude that the two have broken up. Videos featuring Nam Hee-du remain on Lee Na-yeon’s YouTube channel, and the two are known to still be following each other on SNS.

In particular, it was reported that Lee Na-yeon “liked” an official SNS post announcing Nam Hee-du’s joining of the Cincinnati Cyclones, a U.S. ice hockey team, on the 17th.
Previously, breakup suspicions had also been raised last year over their SNS activities.
At that time, Lee Na-yeon posted on her SNS, “Everyone, is there an error where likes disappear all at once?” and stated, “Several thousand suddenly disappeared, and the likes from my family, friends, and boyfriend were also arbitrarily canceled.”
She added, “I am asking because this is the first time I have seen such an error. My account is safe, right?” while still referring to Nam Hee-du as her “boyfriend.”
Although Lee Na-yeon had previously revealed that they were dating by directly explaining SNS errors in the past, neither of them has made any particular statement regarding this current breakup rumor.
Meanwhile, Lee Na-yeon and Nam Hee-du appeared on tvN’s “Exchanging Lovers 2,” which was released last year in 2022. The two, who had previously been a couple, ultimately chose each other on the program, successfully reuniting, and have continued their public relationship since then.
