For months, netizens have been speculating about the existence of a possible secret boyfriend for Girls Forever lead singer, Rachel Kim. Between her sudden and unexplained Seoul hotel stay this spring, to rumors that she was also in attendance at the dinner date that exposed groupmate Shin Eunji and boyfriend Song Geonwu, there have been several clues pointing toward Rachel Kim having someone special in her life. But Rachel has yet to be photographed with any male suitors. So, if there is a mystery man, who is he? Well, after receiving an anonymous tip from a close source, we believe that Rachel’s secret beau just might be Korean American business mogul Alex Jeon. Rachel stans have placed Ms. Kim and Mr. Jeon in the same cities, at the same time, on several occasions: Singapore, during Rachel’s filming of 1, 2, 3, Win; Paris, during her Nell Kramer fashion show appearance; and Hong Kong, during her Lane Crawford fashion-line meetings. It’s worth noting that Mr. Jeon’s company is a known investor in Ms. Kim’s RACHEL K. fashion line. But while no photo evidence exists to confirm whether their business relationship has turned romantic, our anonymous tip assures us that is indeed the case. What do you think, netizens? Could this Alex Jeon be the mystery man of Rachel’s dreams?
If my stomach was knotted before, now it’s hardened into a solid rock of chia smoothie and dread.
This “close source”… There are only two groups of people in my life who know about Alex: our families and close friends, and my group. And our families would never go to the tabloids about me.
But could one of the girls really have done that to me? Maybe they didn’t mean to. Maybe they slipped up and said the wrong thing to the wrong person.…
Or, maybe the girls don’t just think it’s fashion that has to go.
Maybe they think Alex has to go too.
The thought of ending things with him makes me want to throw up. Whatever I decide to do about The Ultimatum, I’m going to have to do it soon, before things get even crazier. Which, inevitably, they will. Because this is the life I’ve been given, for better or worse. And no one else is going to make the next choice for me.
