Lee Mijoo and her beau are to reunite physically soon, ending their long distance relationship, as Song Bum Keun is set to return to homeland after 2 years at Japanese J1 League.
The long distance relationship between former Lovelyz artist Lee Mijoo and Shonan Bellmare (J1 League) goalkeeper Song Bum Keun has ended. The two of them will now be able to spend more time with each other as Song Bum Keun is set to return to play in his own country, ending his commitments in Japan.
The footballer has officially left the Japanese league and will return to the domestic K-League. Jeonbuk Hyundai announced on the 31st that Song Bum Keun, who joined the Japanese J-League as a free entity at the end of 2022, will be returning to Jeonbuk Hyundai after two years.
The footballer joined Jeonbuk Hyundai as a rookie in 2018 and played in 30 K-League games despite it being his first year. He also actively contributed to the team's victory and established himself as a promising goalkeeper.
Not just for his career, this move from Japan to South Korea is also beneficial for his relationship with idol Lee Mijoo. The two of them have been openly dating ever since their relationship confirmation and fans have been loving their cute social media crumbs.
As reported by Korean media agency 10Asia, Song Bum Keun expressed gratitude for his time as a part of both teams and credited his growth as a player at Jeonbuk Hyundai being the reason for his good experience in the J-League. The footballer further shared feelings of yearning for the Jeonju City cheers and his belief in an impending return. He added, "I'm just waiting for the season to open next year. I will do my best to lift the championship trophy again with the passionate passion of the fans.”
