To be frank, I’ve never been interested in Yura and Jonghyun's stint on wgm, I did know about them through youtube with their million views videos but that was about it. The last time I watched wgm would probably be in high school, I'm now in my early twenties, so you can imagine how many years it's been. To say that I’ve never been a fan of girl’s day would be a lie, but I wasn’t always focused on yura. Maybe it's because I got into gsd through Minah and Hyeri hence why I never really paid attention to yura because she was always kind of standing in the background, shielding from the limelight. While scrolling through TikTok a couple of weeks ago, I happened to stumble upon an edit of lee soohyuk. Before I knew it I was lurking through the internet to find out more about his infamous friend group the “models avengers”. However, I have a suspicion that they grew apart with noticeably only youngkwang to this day who still cites lee soohyuk as his closest friend. Hong Jonghyun has always been an enigma to me, I never could quite understand his personality as in style log 1 he had had a bright demeanor compared to style log 2 where he was known for being an “iron wall” with Nana.

I don’t know what made me do it, but I ended up watching wgm and every variety show he was on just to get a hint of what he's really like. I do wonder though if Jonghyun is aware of the impact yura had on his life and how she had changed his personality in a way. After reading through almost 2000 pages filled with detailed analyses of yura and Jonghyun's stint on wgm, I've come to a conclusion that maybe in a way Jonghyun loved Yura without him noticing it. Their last episode made it clear that Jonghyun noticeably was taking it harder than Yura with his eyes almost tearing up. 

It wasn't until last week that an edit of Jonghyun came up on my TikTok fyp and I was curiously scrolling through the comments just to see what opinion people had of him that I stumbled over a comment from the acc owner of that edit where she answered a user that rumor was that Jonghyun and yura broke up in early 2017 and people had their assumptions that they were in a relationship when a staff of the race team Jonghyun used to race for (*note he raced in the Hyundai Avante cup under syncroG) posted that yura would often be down in the drift track numerous times during 2016. Then there were theories with credible proof that they both were in an on-off relationship for approximately 5 years which to this day I still don't know whether to believe or not even when I've seen proof because the logical part of me was saying that they could be just friends.

Now that I've read comments on Jonghyun's dc gallery, there is substantial evidence that Jonghyun is currently in a relationship with a fellow actress, and I'm not gonna lie, it threw me off a bit even when I know I have no right to dictate who a person can date. I guess a part of me was hoping that there was even the tiniest smallest chance that Yura and Jonghyun could pursue a relationship in reality despite the fact that wgm had ended years ago, almost a decade now. 

I went through an emotional turmoil, even talking about yura and Jonghyun for hours to my closest friends, lamenting and questioning how could it not work out between them cause in my honest opinion, they were one of the most sincere couples on that show, and the improvement in Jonghyun's interaction with yura was astonishing to see (I know ridiculous right? I went emo over a relationship I wasn't even part off and I don't even know both of them personally.). After hearing numerous opinions, I came to the conclusion that no matter how many years you've known someone, they might not be your endgame and not everyone will be with in your life forever. Everything happens for a reason and sometimes people come into your life for a reason, maybe to help improve yourself in something or to teach you a lesson before departing. 

Overall, I'm glad Yura and Jonghyun got the chance to know each other despite it being in an unorthodox way. it's hard to find genuine friends in the entertainment industry and I like to think that Jonghyun and yura found a genuine friend in each other and I hope they're still friends together. I'm happy that they both got to make each other happy even if it was for a brief period of time. 

Honestly, writing this for me seemed like a way for me to receive closure i guess..

Anyways, here's my dedication to the jjongah couple as this community is super small and i would like to give the jjongah shippers that are still around a lil something to read.
