Many fans have been waiting to see who would be outed as a couple by the popular Korean tabloid news media organization, Dispatch. In response to the readers' request, pictures of T-ara's Hyomin on a date with soccer player Hwang Ui Jo were released. Along with the pictures, quotes from people close to the couple were also included to reveal more about their relationship.

An anonymous source was quoted by Dispatch as saying,

"Hwang Ui Jo and Hyomin are dating like good friends. As they are more mature, they respect each other's boundaries and businesses."

The report also added that the couple confirmed their relationship and said,

"We're at a stage where we are getting to know each other better with good feelings."

The two reportedly spent some time together in Switzerland as Hwang Ui Jo (29), who plays as a forward for Ligue 1 club Bordeaux, is currently off for a couple of weeks. This is when the French soccer league takes its break, allowing the couple to spend some quality time together.

Before Dispatch released pictures of the couple, reports of the two dating were revealed on Sports Chosun. It was divulged that the couple began dating in November 2021 and their relationship was based on friendship.
