The couple clearly showed their support for the other, making the public more confident in the suspicion of the two stars' affection. While Rocky sent a coffee truck to the set to support his 5-year-old girlfriend, Park Bo Yeon was also seen going to see Rocky's musical.

However, the focus is on the vastly different responses from the two management companies. While Park Bo Yeon's agency denied that they were dating, saying that the two were just colleagues, Rocky's agency confirmed that the two were in love. Fantagio Entertainment said, the couple is in the process of getting to know each other after meeting through a movie together and gradually becoming close.

It is known that the male idol has spent more than 17 years with the company, including 7 years working as a piece of ASTRO. Fantagio's representative said, "After discussing with Rocky, the two sides have come to the decision to terminate his exclusive contract as well as his activities as a member of ASTRO."

After Rocky left the group, Astro was no longer active in group activities. Although the remaining members including JinJin, Cha Eun Woo, Moonbin, and Sanha all simultaneously moved on with Fantagio after successfully re-signing. As for MJ's case, he will discuss contract renewal after being discharged from the army. However, ASTRO since the day Rocky left the group has mainly focused on unit and solo activities.

As for Rocky, because he left the group, no one knows his information, however, many fans believe that Rocky was heartbroken and was also standing by Moonbin's coffin.

They are strictly controlled, burying themselves all day in the practice room singing and dancing. These things make the idols' psychology unstable.
