Actress Gong Hyo Jin opened up about her recent break-up with long-time boyfriend, Ryu Seung Bum.

During a press conference for her latest movie '577 Project' which took place on August 20th, the actress revealed,�"I've been dating for 10 years. Breaking up did not come easy, but it's not like we fought and called it quits all of a sudden."

"When you date someone for a long time, the way you break up changes as well. We still contact each other and help one another to the point where our friends think strangely of us," She said. "We are both consoling each other of this situation, however, we're passed the stage where it feels like our hearts are being ripped apart. Rather than saying good bye forever, we sort of said, let's take a break from dating for a while."

The actress also talked about the recent dating rumors surrounding herself and�Ha Jung Woo. She said, "I'm more worried that Ryu Seung Bum will become upset by the rumors between me and Ha Jung Woo. Many people are saying that [the breakup] is unfortunate and that they are upset, and I am extremely apologetic towards those who are disappointed, but when [Ryu Seung Bum] and I meet, we still talk and have fun. I'm sorry if we caused much concern."
