K-Pop idols rarely date within their groups. Only three cases have been documented throughout K-Pop history. Let’s explore these unique situations.
1. Former Triple H members HyunA & Dawn
Triple H started as a project group under Cube Entertainment.
The group featured HyunA, Dawn (former PENTAGON member), and PENTAGON’s Hui.
Dating rumors about HyunA and Dawn emerged during Triple H’s active period.
Cube Entertainment initially denied these claims.
Soon after, HyunA and Dawn confirmed their relationship. They revealed they had been dating for several years.
The couple shared their thoughts openly. “We wanted to be honest with our fans,” they explained. “We chose to share our relationship to perform confidently on stage.”
Their announcement led to immediate consequences. Cube Entertainment terminated their contracts citing “lost trust.” They later joined PSY’s P-NATION. Though they planned to marry, they eventually ended their engagement. HyunA has since married former HIGHLIGHT member Yong Junhyung.
2. Former D.I.P members Seungho & B.Nish
Seungho and B.Nish joined D.I.P in 2016.
They surprised fans during an Instagram live stream. They announced their long-term relationship.
Their relationship affected their careers. Both members left D.I.P in 2018. They separated after leaving the group.
3. Two unknown members of K’Pop
K’Pop’s story ended tragically. Two members dated secretly within the group. Their relationship ended when one member had an affair with another idol.
This situation created tension among group members. The group could not overcome these issues and disbanded.
