Most of us have heard of Jessica Jung, formerly one of the nine members of superstar Korean girl group Girls’ Generation (SNSD). But what do you know about her boyfriend, Korean-American Tyler Kwon?
The private lives of K-pop stars are often shrouded in secrecy and the romance between Tyler and Jessica is little different. Supposedly, the couple have been dating for years and internet rumours abound that they are making plans for their wedding.
It can be tough to separate fact from fiction, but on his 39th birthday, here are five things you need to know about Tyler.
1. Kwon previously dated Gillian Chung
Before Kwon’s romance with Jessica Jung, he had a 10-month relationship with Hong Kong singer-actress Gillian Chung (of Twins fame). The couple dated in 2012/2013 around the time of Chung’s movie Ip Man: The Final Fight, and Kwon accompanied Chung to the premiere. Although there were rumours of infidelity on Kwon’s part, poor communication and different lifestyles were repeatedly stressed as actual reasons for the couple’s split.

Kwon graduated with a bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan’s Ross School of Business, one of the top 10 best business schools in America according to US News & World Report’s 2019 best college rankings.
