Love life and girlfriend
Yunho is very secretive regarding his love life but it is known that he was once in a relationship while he was still a trainee and that his girlfriend broke up with him because she thought Yunho was cheating on her – it would have ended up the same way anyway because KQ Entertainment doesn’t allow its rookie artists to have girlfriends or boyfriends nor to drink, smoke or party among other things.
Because Yunho is very respective of what his agency requires of him, he hasn’t been in a relationship since the start of his singing career although there were rumors on the internet that he was secretly seeing one of his female fans.
As of July 2020, Yunho is single, hasn’t married and doesn’t have children.
