Kangnam’s Ex-Girlfriend Reveals Why She Broke Up With Him

Entertainer Kangnam (also known as Namekawa Yasuo) has been happily married to retired speed skater Lee Sang Hwa since 2019 but took a trip down memory lane for his YouTube channel when meeting his childhood friends—including his ex-girlfriend.

As Kangnam chatted with his longtime friends Tomo and Harumi, he admitted he couldn’t remember why he and Harumi had ended their romance in the past. So he asked her, “But why did we break up?”

She revealed that her father’s passing made things difficult for her family and caused major changes in her life. So Harumi didn’t have enough energy to focus on taking care of Kangnam.

I dropped out of university, didn’t I? After my father passed away, my family was struggling due to various things, so looking after Yasuo (Kangnam) was tiring.

They all agreed on how one-sided their relationship was, especially with Harumi doing Kangnam’s homework and showering him with gifts. She ended their relationship as Kangnam went to Korea to begin his entertainment career. Now the longtime friends can reflect on their memories together and laugh about them all.
