A recent YouTube broadcast has stunned fans with its candid revelations about the secret dating lives of K-pop idols. On the April 30 episode of the channel Is This Really the Final, former second-generation girl group members Raina (After School), Hyerin (EXID), and Eungyo (F-ve Dolls) sat down with host Kim Ddol-ddol for an unfiltered conversation, one that peeled back the curtain on one of K-pop’s most elusive taboos: idol romance.
Now living lives far removed from their idol days, the three artists shared updates about their careers. Hyerin revealed that she now works full-time in fashion marketing, while also pursuing musicals and a DJ career starting in May. Eungyo is active as a musical actress, and Raina recently dropped a new album, showcasing her continued passion for music.
But the real buzz came when the conversation shifted to idol dating culture—a topic rarely discussed so openly by former idols.
“Idols Dated Using Email” — Raina’s Secret Romance and a Shocking Confession
When asked whether strict management policies made dating impossible, Raina surprised everyone by saying, “We found ways. A lot of us used email to communicate.” She admitted to dating another idol, revealing: “He liked me first. We were forced to break up because of our company, but we got back together later.”
Raina criticized the industry’s no-dating rules, calling them counterproductive: “It creates a ‘Romeo and Juliet’ syndrome. They’ll meet in secret anyway. If you leave them alone, they’ll naturally break up on their own.”
Hyerin chimed in with her own experience, saying that EXID’s agency was “pretty lenient” and that idols often exchanged contact info at birthday parties. The relaxed attitude left her fellow guests both shocked and envious.
Then came the bombshell moment: Raina revealed, “I’ve heard of people who dated multiple members within the same group.” The room fell silent at the unexpected revelation, underscoring how complex and tangled idol relationships can become behind the scenes.
“Raise Your Hand If You’ve Dated This Celebrity” — Idol Truth or Dare?
Hyerin shared yet another surprising story: during overseas schedules, male and female idols would gather in one room and play a form of truth or dare, asking each other, “Raise your hand if you’ve dated this celebrity.”
Eungyo, visibly stunned, responded, “This is my first time hearing that!” while Kim Ddol-ddol joked, “The idol world really is like the animal kingdom.” Hyerin compared it to “college campus couples (CCs),” suggesting a closeness and frequency in dating that’s rarely acknowledged in public.
While the K-pop industry has long kept idol relationships under wraps—often imposing dating bans and public image constraints—this honest discussion offered a rare glimpse into a world fans rarely see. The broadcast has since gone viral among fans and online communities, with many expressing both shock and support for the idols’ candidness.
As the culture around K-pop evolves, and more former idols begin speaking out, one thing is clear: the romantic lives of idols are far more complex—and human—than they’re often allowed to appear.
