Zico, after publicly dating with Seol-hyun → they broke up after 1 month, then… a warning to not date with “ONE N’ ONLY” (“A-geun-jin”)

[TV Report = Reporter Yoon Hee-jung] Singer Zico has issued a strict no-dating warning to the group 'BoyNextDoor' (hereafter 'Bonekdo').

On the 20th, on SBS's 'Seriously, But Really!', Lee Sang-jun, Don, and Bonekdo's Myung Jae-hyun appeared as guests and shared various stories in a boarding-house resident concept.

That day, the set had the phrase 'Absolutely No Dating' written as a boarding-house rule. Lee Su-ji, who played the boarding-house owner, asked the three, "Do you have girlfriends?" and Myung Jae-hyun answered "Yes" without a moment's hesitation. Hearing this, Lee Sang-jun said, "Even if there is one here, he'll say there isn't. I really don't have one." Myung Jae-hyun then confessed, "If I dated, it wouldn't just be a problem of entering the boarding house; I think I'd be in real trouble." When Tak Jae-hoon asked, "Don't you want to date?" Myung Jae-hyun firmly drew the line, saying, "No."

Lee Sang-min asked, "Is there still a no-dating clause these days?" Myung Jae-hyun trailed off, saying, "There isn't anything like that, but Zico hyung..." There was no no-dating clause, but there had been a warning from producer Zico. Tak Jae-hoon brought up Zico's past public relationship with Seolhyun, saying, "You dated publicly, didn't you?" Myung Jae-hyun relayed Zico's stance, saying, "Zico hyung said, 'I hope you don't have to go through what I went through, and that you only go through good things,'" but Tak Jae-hoon made people laugh by saying, "What he went through was the good thing."

SBS's 'Seriously, But Really!' airs every Monday at 10:10 PM.

In August 2016, Dispatch reported that Block B's Zico and AOA's Seolhyun had been dating for about five months. Afterwards, both agencies indirectly acknowledged the relationship, saying, "The two met during a difficult time and are currently getting to know each other as close senior and junior colleagues." At the time, Zico explained on MBC's 'Radio Star,' "We were originally senior and junior colleagues who knew each other, but after cautiously staying in contact, I started to like her for no reason. That's how the relationship developed." However, the two announced their breakup in September of the same year, just over a month after going public. Both agencies cited 'pressure from public attention' and 'personal reasons' as the cause of the breakup.
