The hidden reality of dating a K-Pop idol has resurfaced after YouTuber Rachel Kwon opened up about her past relationship with former N-SONIC frontman J.Heart, giving fans a rare behind-the-scenes look at the emotional toll of maintaining a secret romance.
N-SONIC debuted in 2012 under C2K Entertainment, with J.Heart as the group’s leader. Although the boy group eventually broke up in 2016, public interest in J.Heart recently returned after Rachel shared details about their relationship, which ultimately led to their wedding in 2022.
Rachel revealed that she first met J.Heart in 2014, a few months after moving to South Korea. The two began dating shortly after, but their relationship remained hidden from the public due to the sensitive nature of idol dating culture.
According to Rachel, the concept of being a “secret girlfriend” it turned out to be much more emotionally challenging than he initially expected. He recalled an early incident where the pair had dated, and a fan later asked J.Heart online who he had been with. The situation has reportedly caused problems for the idol and forced the couple to become even more cautious about being seen together.
Rachel also shared that J.Heart’s demanding schedule, including frequent international travel for work, has created additional tension in their relationship. Another source of stress was uncertainty about whether her family was aware of their romance, further intensifying the emotional pressure she was experiencing at the time.
Despite the challenges, the couple’s relationship lasted beyond N-SONIC’s breakup. Their story eventually reached a happy ending when they married in 2022. Rachel’s candid reflections have since garnered attention for shedding light on the less glamorous, often overlooked realities behind idol relationships that are typically portrayed as romantic fantasies.
