With Hara and Junhyung unfollowing each other on Twitter, and Junhyung posting a gloomy selca, fans and netizens have been speculating that the two idol stars may have gone their separate ways.

Their agencies didn't offer much insight as they commented that they were not sure either as it is the idols' private lives. But according to sources in the music industry who are close with the two, "Junhyung and Hara, who acknowledged their relationship to the public in June of 2011, have decided to remain as friends."

According to one insider, the two had a difficult time seeing each other due to their domestic and international promotions with their respective groups, and decided to part after much thought.

Another source, who knows Junhyung and Hara well, also commented, "The two also faced the risk of breaking up once before due to their busy schedules, but they continued their relationship... Seeing that as they broke up in the end, it seems they felt burdened by the public's interest in the affairs of idols."

There have been no comments made by the reps of either side denying or confirming the news as of yet.
