🚨 TEEN TOP’s Changjo Confirms Relationship with Rapper-Turned-CEO Casper: The “Lovestagram” Mystery Solved! 💖
Seoul is buzzing with a confirmed K-pop romance that has fans both shocked and thrilled! TEEN TOP‘s multi-talented member, Changjo (real name Choi Jong-hyun), has officially announced his relationship with entrepreneur and former rapper Casper (real name Lee Se-rin), putting an end to months of online speculation. The long-rumored “Lovestagram” has finally been confirmed as a beautiful reality.
On January 5, 2026, Changjo took to his Instagram stories to share a heartfelt, lengthy message directly addressing the dating rumors. He candidly admitted, “Some of you may already know, and others might be surprised,” acknowledging the ongoing discussions among fans. He spoke glowingly of Casper, describing her as a “grateful person who has positively changed and supported me during unstable moments throughout my 16 years of activity.” The artist further emphasized the positive impact of their relationship, stating that his mind has become “much more stable, allowing me to focus even more on my favorite stage and music.”

The couple’s relationship first garnered significant attention last year when eagle-eyed fans began piecing together clues from their individual social media accounts, leading to the coining of the term “Lovestagram.”
- 📸 Shared Aesthetics: Fans noticed a consistent pattern of photos uploaded around the same time and in similar locations on both Changjo and Casper‘s personal SNS.
- 💍 Matching Moments: The appearance of what appeared to be couple items and accessories in their posts further fueled suspicions.
Interestingly, the official confirmation followed a telling post by Casper herself just days earlier. On January 1, she uploaded a photo to her Instagram featuring a man on a car date, tagging Changjo‘s official Instagram account. This move, made just ahead of Changjo‘s public statement, served as a soft launch of their relationship. Meanwhile, Changjo had also subtly hinted at their connection by following Casper‘s account, alongside his fellow TEEN TOP members.
For those unfamiliar, Changjo debuted on July 10, 2010, as a member of the beloved boy group TEEN TOP. He is widely recognized for his roles as the group’s main dancer and sub-vocalist, and has also expanded his artistic footprint into acting, with appearances in films and dramas. His enduring career of 16 years speaks volumes about his dedication and talent.
His partner, Casper, born in 1993, is two years his senior. She made her debut in 2014 and quickly rose to public prominence through her appearances on Mnet’s popular hip-hop survival programs, ‘Show Me The Money’ and ‘Unpretty Rapstar.’ Beyond her rapping career, Casper has diversified her talents, currently active in a band and thriving as the CEO of a successful beauty brand, truly embodying the spirit of a modern multi-hyphenate.
This announcement not only celebrates love but also highlights the evolving paths of K-pop artists, bridging different facets of the entertainment and business world. We adore seeing idols find stability and joy, especially when it fuels their artistic passion.
We at Hello Korea wish Changjo and Casper all the best in their relationship and look forward to seeing their continued success both individually and as a couple!
