Even after breaking up, you experience the tiring experience of being at the center of issues through Lovestagram. When you are in a relationship, posts that were a token of your love remain as a trace and are talked about by people.
A star’s love life is one of the public’s biggest concerns. Celebrities sometimes show their love through social media, and sometimes hint at breakups. Fans find evidence of romantic relationships and breakups through stars’ social media.
Actors Kwak Si-yang and Lim Hyun-joo, who recently announced the news of their breakup, also revealed their romantic relationship through their SNS activities. They each posted pictures of themselves wearing couple rings on social media, and also attracted attention by uploading pictures of themselves in the same place and pictures taken when they went out to play together. They were also suspected of being romantically involved as they showed affection by clicking ‘Like’ on each other’s posts. In the end, the two admitted that they were dating, saying that they met in private and became naturally close.
Afterwards, the ‘Lovestagram’ continued. Just three months ago, Kwak Si-yang appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Sweet Brother Shin Dong-yeop’ and mentioned Lim Hyun-joo. He said, “I fell in love with that friend because one of my friends is an actor named Im Seong-jae. I went to visit that friend’s house, and my current girlfriend walked up cute and confident wearing a loose training suit with a badminton club around her shoulder. “That look was so cute to me,” he said.
However, after a year of going public with their relationship, the two announced their breakup. On the 5th, Kwak Si-yang’s agency Drawing Entertainment announced, “It is true that the two broke up. They decided to support each other’s future.” Lim Hyun-joo’s agency, Studio Santa Claus Entertainment, also said, “The two recently broke up. They decided to support each other and remain as colleagues.”
After the news of the breakup was announced, fans’ attention was focused on Kwak Si-yang and Lim Hyun-joo’s ‘Lovestagram’. Although the two people unfollowed each other, their behavior was conflicting when it came to posts. Kwak Si-yang organized all the posts containing memories of Lim Hyun-joo, but Lim Hyun-joo left them as is. In particular, the two people, who enjoyed a trip with their acquaintances for Kwak Si-yang’s birthday, posted photos that appeared to be taking each other, but Lim Hyun-joo is still uploading the posts.
This is not the only case where one side left a trace of ‘Lovestagram’ after a breakup and attracted attention. Yoo-jeong and Lee Kyu-han, who acknowledged their breakup after a year of going public in September of last year, also canceled following each other on Instagram, but left behind a photo that Yoo-jeong appears to have taken with Lee Kyu-han at a location, which became a hot topic. Lee Gyu-han immediately deleted all posts.
The couple that made the most noise through ‘Lovestagram’ was Hyuna and Dawn. The two, who continued their relationship from 2018 to November 2022, said at the time they were dating, “Even if we break up, let’s not delete our Instagram photos.” As promised, they did not delete their photos together even after the breakup. However, when the news of Hyuna’s marriage to Yong Jun-hyung of the group Highlight became known, an argument broke out, saying that it was not polite. In the end, the two erased all traces of each other.
Like any other couple, their ‘Lovestagram’, which records their happy moments, is bound to receive public attention as they are celebrities. Whether or not to delete SNS posts is an individual’s freedom, but it is a ‘tag’ that inevitably reminds people of past romantic partners.
