On October 3, Choi posted a lengthy message alongside several photos on his personal social media account, writing that he had barely used his smartphone over the past few weeks.
He also shared that he had returned to practicing yoga every morning and had been eating more lately. Choi mentioned buying a plate featuring David Bowie and joked that he intentionally places bread around the edge so that Bowie’s image remains visible.
Reflecting on music, Choi wrote that he has recently found himself asking, “What is music? Is this music?” He added that when he looks at the instruments and musicians around him, he feels certain that what they are creating together is music.
Choi also spoke about the people around him, saying he believes more people who understand the value of diligence have gradually gathered around them.
Describing his current life, Choi said he has been extremely busy and that life is sometimes fun and sometimes not. He added that creating a performance is just as enjoyable as making an album.
Choi publicly confirmed his relationship with actress Han Ji-min in August 2024. The couple later became the subject of breakup rumors after Choi was seen crying during a university festival performance in July. However, a music industry representative told XportsNews that the two were still continuing their relationship, bringing the breakup speculation to an end.
Netizen Reactions
The sampled Nate News comments were divided between users reacting negatively to Choi Jung-hoon and Han Ji-min as a couple and others criticizing commenters who appeared to misunderstand the article and assume that the two had actually broken up. A few comments also reacted to Choi’s reflections on music and his claim that he had barely used his smartphone.
1. They never matched from the beginning.
2. Phew, what a relief... Han Ji-min was way too good for him. Ji-min, I hope you raise your standards next time ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
3. Are all these commenters kids???? Can they seriously not read or understand what the article says? There was only a breakup rumor—they didn’t actually break up... Kids these days are something else...
4. They really don’t suit each other... I think Han Ji-min would look better with someone who has a gentler vibe ㅠㅠ
5. They’re saying they didn’t break up, so what’s with the top comments?
6. Han Ji-min is 45... If Choi Jung-hoon marries her, the two of them would have to live by themselves forever. This isn’t about whether Han Ji-min is a good person, wealthy, or pretty—you also have to think about the man’s family. They’d want grandchildren and to continue the family line, and Choi Jung-hoon probably wants children too. Whether they broke up or not, it would be better for both of them.
7. Are these people leaving comments after only reading the headline? Even elementary school kids read the article and understand it... These malicious commenters seriously have no reading comprehension!
8. So cringe~~ Choi Jung-hoon: “What is music?” ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Chae Yeon: “I sometimes shed tears” ㅋㅋㅋ
9. How do you live without a smartphone? Does that even make sense?
10. It was only a breakup rumor—they didn’t actually break up, right? ㅋㅋㅋ But the two of them really don’t suit each other ㅜㅜㅋㅋ
