Soyou Reveals Her Last Romance Was 5 Years Ago: "I Got Burned by a Bad Boy"

Former Sistar member Soyou is set to open up about her past romantic experiences on an upcoming episode of JTBC's hit show 'Love War'.

The episode, scheduled to air on the 4th, will feature Soyou as a guest, weighing in on a couple's relationship struggles stemming from political and religious differences.

'Love War' has been making waves in the entertainment industry. As of the 28th of last month, it ranked 10th in Fundex's TV-OTT non-drama buzz charts. Cast members Lee Hyori and Seo Jang-hoon further cemented the show's popularity, claiming the 6th and 7th spots respectively in the non-drama cast buzz rankings.

In the upcoming seventh episode, Soyou, joining as a special relationship diplomat, will dish on her love life. The K-pop star reveals that her last relationship ended five years ago, candidly admitting, "I got burned by a bad boy. It killed my desire to date." This confession suggests Soyou is currently on a self-imposed dating hiatus.

The episode also promises to spotlight a couple grappling with political, religious, and interpersonal issues. Their conflict reportedly ignited after discovering their divergent political stances following a state of emergency. When the boyfriend asserts that martial law is a presidential prerogative, his girlfriend pushes back, eager to correct what she perceives as misinformation.

The couple's disagreements don't stop there. Religious differences add fuel to the fire, with the girlfriend challenging, "If not going to church means going to hell, does that mean I'm hell-bound while you're headed for heaven?" The pair also lock horns over the touchy subject of opposite-sex friendships. The argument reaches such a fever pitch that the boyfriend attempts to shut down communication entirely, nearly bringing the filming to a standstill.

Viewers can tune in on the 4th to catch Soyou's appearance and witness the couple's ideological showdown. 'Love War' airs every Tuesday at 8:50 PM.

Soyou, born in 1991 and now 34, first burst onto the K-pop scene in 2010 as a member of Sistar. The group went on to release a string of chart-toppers including "Alone," "Loving U," and "Touch My Body." Since Sistar's disbandment in 2017, Soyou has successfully pivoted to a solo career, maintaining a strong presence in the music industry.
