For the fans who are always in awe of his romantic portrayal on screen, here is a glimpse of Rowoon’s personal love life.

When Rowoon opened up about his first love

Rowoon barely spoke about his love life or even his interest in his early idol days. However, he once spoke about his first love and sent the whole fandom into a tizzy moment. The incident dates back to 2020 when the Destined with You actor appeared on KBS' Happy Together as a guest alongside Red Velvet’s Joy. The host was questioning Rowoon about his inspiration for the newly released track. For those unaware SF9 made a comeback with their new album at that time. While going back and forth about the production and details, he grabbed the opportunity to speak about his first love. 

During the interview, he said “Before I entered the industry, I was in a relationship, and those memories often come to mind. She holds the position of my first love, and remains the most cherished person in my 24 years of life.”
