His Man 2 couple Shin Sung-ho and Lee Jun-seong share breakup after 2 years together

Shin Sung-ho and Lee Jun-seong's post, posted on August 20, on YouTube, reads:

“Hello, this is Junseongho. Today, we would like to share some rather heavy news. We have decided to bring our journey together as "Junseonghoney" to a close and walk our own separate paths. The word "goodbye" feels unfamiliar and difficult, but after much thought, we believe this is the best choice for both of us. We have received so much love from you all-laughing, crying, and creating memories together-and we will never forget that love for the rest of our lives."

His Man is known as South Korea’s first gay dating reality show, with its first season airing in 2022. In its season 2 (2023), viewers were introduced to Jun-seong, a 27-year-old sales associate at a luxury department store, and Seong-ho, a 24-year-old freelance make-up artist. Their personalities and dynamic quickly drew attention, and fans were invested in their journey as one of the season’s central couples.

Their time on the program led to a relationship that officially began in January of that year, shortly after the show ended, with them leaving as one of the final couples. What followed was a love story that captured the hearts of many, drawing immense support from the online queer community.

They launched their YouTube channel Junseongho’s, where they documented their daily life and relationship. They later revealed through these vlogs that they had moved in together after Seong-ho’s rental contract ended, giving fans a glimpse into their life beyond the show.
