In a surprising turn of events, popular online influencer and CEO of a fashion brand, Cho Young Min, known by his Instagram handle @thug_min, has recently shared the reason behind his breakup with his girlfriend in a series of Instagram stories.
The posts have garnered significant attention and sparked conversations among his followers and netizens.
On his Instagram story, Cho Young Min disclosed a private conversation with his now ex-girlfriend, who sent him a video of TXT's Yeonjun along with the message, "Yeonjun, I love you."
I'm a pure guy. I don't need a girl who says 'I love you' easily to other guys. I want to do only sincere love, someone I can put my all into.

Additionally, Cho shared KakaoTalk messages where his ex-girlfriend apologized for her actions.
Despite her apologies, Cho decided to end the relationship.
Ex-girlfriend: Youngmin, I'm sorry. You said you didn't like these types of things, so I was in the wrong to do it. I will make sure this will never happen again. I will be careful even in other chat rooms or places where you aren't there. I didn't think too deeply about this and didn't think it through.
Youngmin: Just live simply. Just the way you want, that's being happy. I will go to find my own happiness. I don't want to see you anymore."
In another Instagram story, Cho addressed his ex-girlfriend's public post about their breakup, explaining his reasoning further.
"The reason for breaking up is simple. She sent the message of 'Yeonjun, I love you' while we were dating. It seems like she was supposed to send it to her friends. Around 11:30 PM, I was going to send her a DM because I missed her, but seeing the video and her message about Yeonjun, who would want to marry someone who talks about some other guy. Although I want to respect her, it just doesn't make sense to me personally with my views, and so I broke up with her. She posts me publicly on her Instagram, but why is she sending me DMs of some other guy she talks about with her friends? I was so annoyed, so I just went to the club to hang out. I'm currently eating a Philly cheesesteak."
His ex-girlfriend also confirmed the breakup on her Instagram story, providing her perspective on the situation.
We indeed broke up because of TXT's Yeonjun. My ex was not happy as he was someone who thought of idols as the opposite sex. Although I didn't understand it, I tried to respect it since he was someone I loved. I also sincerely apologized to him. But I am just baffled that this is the reason for breaking up, as a couple who talked about marriage for the past year.
