Park Jin Young Exposes Yang Hyun Suk Had a Secret Girlfriend in the Past

On the December 3 episode of KBS2 sports variety show “Our Neighbor Arts and Physical Education,” singer Park Jin Young appeared as a guest and had a chance to look back the days when he was in a relationship. He recalled those days and said, “When I was at the peak position on the music chart with my song ‘Don’t Leave Me,’ I revealed that I had a girlfriend.”

He said that it felt like his fans left his side. He explained, “I hated it when others hid their relationships, saying ‘I actually have a girlfriend, it’s you all.’”

Fellow cast members from the show asked him if there had been a particular celebrity who made him mad by concealing a relationship. Park Jin Young aroused laughter by answering “It was Yang Hyun Suk,” imitating the famed YG CEO’s voice.

Perhaps the secret girlfriend was former Swi.T member Lee Eun Joo who is now his wife and mother of two children?
