Since the dating news of Soyeon and Oh Jonghyuk was only reported and confirmed in late 2013, this means they were able to keep their relationship a secret for three years.
Since then, another three years have passed and T-ara Soyeon and Click B Jonghyuk remained strong until July 2016, when reports about them breaking up were released.
Why Did Former T-ara Soyeon and Former Click B Jonghyuk Break Up?
According to reports, former T-ara member Soyeon and Click B member Jonghyuk decided to break up due to the girl group's busy schedule overseas.
Following the news, the celebrity couple's respective companies released an official statement. DSP Media said confirmed the breakup of Soyeon and Oh Jonghyuk, however, they weren't able to give the exact timing or reason as it is the artists' personal business.
Meanwhile, T-ara's label MBK Entertainment (formerly called Core Contents Media) stated that the two "naturally" drifted apart as they were focusing on their separate activities in the entertainment industry. But, despite this, it is said that they decided to maintain a good relationship and keep supporting one another.
