AOA member Seolhyun has finally spoken up about her recently-ended relationship with Zico and how she felt when their relationship went public a month before they parted ways.
During an awarding ceremony, Seolhyun reportedly graced a one-on-one interview with Sports Seoul where she openly answered questions about her past relationship with Zico.
The AOA member first admitted she was surprised upon learning that their relationship has been publicized. "It was surprising that there was a dating report about me, but the immense reaction toward me was also a surprise. It was fascinating, but also scary and nerve-wracking," Seolhyun said, as quoted by Allkpop.
Seolhyun even revealed it was not her intention to go public about her relationship with the Block B member. However, she said the incident did not affect her life entirely, adding that being in a relationship is not a bad thing.
"People meet, and part ways. Anyone goes through relationships and breakups. I just think I experienced something as ordinary," she said.
Seolhyun added her AOA co-members were even worried about her when the news broke, adding that their concern and sincerity gave her strength during those times. Seolhyun and Zico's relationship was confirmed by their respective agencies in August.
However, the two idols were reported to have broken up a month after going public, Soompi reported. After seeing each other for six months, Zico's label revealed they have called it quits due to personal reasons.
The agency refused to comment further, respecting the privacy and personal reasons of Seolhyun and Zico for the breakup. Reports suggested the then-couple was overwhelmed by the attention they were getting after their relationship was publicized, leading to their separation.
Aside from Zico's label, Seolhyun's agency has also spoken up and confirmed the two idols have broken up, refusing to give details about the decision. Meanwhile, watch Zico as he talks about his relationship with Seolhyun after the news broke.
