Shin Jung Hwan expressed with regrets, “I have splitted with my (now former) girlfriend recently with whom I had dated with marriage in my mind.”

That was what Shin Jung Hwan said in an interview conducted with IS on the 20th. Some netizens had gone to great lengths to dig up information about Shin Jung Hwan’s girlfriend. Her photos, her Cyworld address, her family background, etc were all dug up and posted online in a very detailed manner. That become a great burden which not only affected her but also her family members.

Shin Jung Hwan’s girlfriend is currently in her second year of study in an unnamed university majoring in design. She is estimated to be either 21 or 22 years old and about 14 - 16 years younger than Shin Jung Hwan. They had been dating for 2 years so Uncle Shin is pretty unfortunate here!

Shin Jung Hwan expressed with regards to this, “There’s a reason why we as artistes need to have/keep our own life private, away from the public eye. Netizens started bashing my girlfriend on her Cyworld after it was made public. Others who somehow manage to get hold of her number, even called her up to harass and scold her. It’s too difficult a burden for her to take as a normal person and she started to have misgivings about my job as an artiste.



After several discussions with his girlfriend who had been leading a normal life as a university student before knowing him, they decided to split up. She couldn’t take all the malicious attacks that came with dating an artiste.

When Shin Jung Hwan suffered multiple injuries injuries after falling off his bicycle while trying to avoid an incoming vehicle in July, the sight of his girlfriend in hospital looking after him became a big topic then when it was made known. Shin Jung Hwan subsequently admitted during a tv program recording, “I have a girlfriend now”. That proved to be a wrong move as netizens swiftly acted by digging out everything regarding his girlfriend causing him agony.

In a Ya Shim Man Man recording which will be shown on the 24th, Shin Jung Hwan talked about the difficulties that artistes have had to face, in particularly with love. He expressed, “If you meet a woman who doesn’t understand your life as an artiste, the result would be…”, showing his regrets at how things have turned out and the harsh reality that an artiste will face in their life.

Yeah, i've been wondering the same thing too: WTF is wrong with Korean netizens nowadays? Can't you guys leave your favourite artistes private life alone?

Oh, I feel sorry for SJH.... I like him since x-man days, I did not know that he had a GF... too bad it didn't work out, but I hope his gf would come back to him. Good luck SJH! He's getting to an age that needs to have his own family too.

That's so sad.....stupid, psychotic netizens! What is wrong with Korean fans these days?!

shes pretty good looking! WTF is wrong wit those ppl, i can understand if it was dbsk's or big bang's girlfriend that wild crazy fangirls would attak the girlfriend but C"MON here we are talking about SJH, its already hard to get a girlfriend, but netizens have to focken go and mess it up. Seriously. I bet those beaches are STILL VIRGINS thats y they have all that free time to do stupid sh*t like this.

Oh wow...netizens really need to get a life. like can't they spend their free time doing something useful? Maybe going to school!!
poor shin jung hwan =(

Geez, more news about netizens and their "opinions" that ruin people's lives.

People in the entertainment business want to have their own personal life too. Seriously, what do these netizens get from harassing innocent people?!

So sorry for Shin Jung Hwan. He always makes people laugh, too bad he can't be happy as well.

he is always funny on variety shows and its sad
to read about how he has to go through these things
netizens are really..
i miss seeing him on shows

wow that's really horrible!! i always wondered about how artists' partners would be treated if they were normal people... guess i found out. =/

poor thing, i hate when people do those stuff causing the artistes to lose their love ones

Wtf are wrong with these people? SJH is a good guy and great entertainer. Yet just because he's famous it automatically entitles him not to have a personal or love life at all? He and his former girlfriend didn't provoke the psychos to attack them, yet they kept insisting to muddle in their lives. I swear Korean netiziens are the worst. I would understand if SJH and his former girlfriend did something terrible to get attacked for, but they didn't do anything.

wow.. she's really pretty..
some people really need to get a life.. seriously..

wat is wrong wit these fans...so wat if they fave artistes have a love life...they r normal people too...y harrass the person they love?? they should be happy dat their fave star hs found their lifemate or love..not harrass the person...poor sjh...he must be very sad that he had to break up wit the girl...n pity the girl too 4 losing someone she loves becoz of the harrassment... these crazy fanatics need to get a life of their own...

Ok.. what the hell man. What has his girlfriend done to the netizens that they had so much hatred for her? Gee.. reading all these crazy things netizens do make me mad, really mad.

wow.ppl who were scolding his gf are surely hv no lives.
seriously,probably bcause of jealousy,how can they did that to both of them?
was it really fun to bash his gf?hm,they hv no manners at all.

Wow, this really makes no sense. What can they hope to accomplish by stalking and bashing the poor girl? Is it that they would rather their favourite star be lonely and unhappy? :(

Netizens are people who dreams too much! wake up people... are you expecting your fave artist to marry you.?? . come on! don't you have your own love life too? why having such a fuss over your fave celeb's gf?... do they owe you their life??? imagine if all celebrities quiting bcoz they're getting fed up... and bored by the life you netizens chose for them? (for me having no one to love and care for me sucks bigtime!) try to think of the celebs who ended their life because of you (netizens)... they're sharing their talents, they entertain you people! what do they get?? ( of course aside from money!lol) you can at least let them live their life the way they want it to be! right???

she's pretty hot looking, it's a shame for him, he should had kept his mouth closed. But it's crazy how far these morons go to in other to harsh the poor girl.

From some of the news we had read over the past few years, seem like a lot of celebs and their mates had been going through some type of harshing by netizens in korea. Pretty scary.

i think action should be taken by some authorities. seriously, i'm tired of hearing about stuff like this. What if she was "the one"? and it all got messed up by a bunch of immature/vindictive girls. I'd be so pissed if that happened to me. I'd leave the entertainment industry. Also, I wonder what the girlfriend did about it. Like changing her phone number and cyworld would be a start

what the heck is wrong with (korean?) netizens!!!! so many Korean stars are so affected by netizens' responses! breaking up, committing suicides.. GET A LIFE please! stop harrassing them, it's no wonder they dont want to open up on their private life, who wants to do that when anything you might do would get so opposed?! AHHH!!!

that's so sad. I feel bad for him. the things that artists must face is harsh.

I feel really sorry for him.... Whats wrong with netizens?!?!?!?! Seriously LEAVE HER ALONE!!! She hasnt done anything to you!! Although he is right and artistes should keep their own lives private, whats wrong if he does have a girlfriend?!!?! Hes just a normal guy expect for the celebrity thing! He has feelings and everything!! Its a shame that they had to end their relationship because stupid netizens had to bash her on her Cyworld!! The fact that he was brave enough and didnt mind telling everyone on that tv program that he had a girlfriend meant that he had total trust in telling in his fans....but I guess he was wrong. Being famous sure does limit you from a lot...I guess thats what he means by being a celebrity is a hard thing.

Netizens....they live to bash....need to get a life these ppl
