At that time, Kwon Soon-woo helped Korea advance to the round of 16 for the second year in a row.

As the two were spotted on this day, words started spreading that they were dating one another among some tennis players.  

Months later, a rumor finally turned into a fact. 
Kwon Soon-woo is currently ranked #1 in the national tennis rankings. 

He has been ranked as high as world No. 52 ranking by the Association of Tennis Professionals (ATP), which he first achieved in November 2021. 

He has a career-high doubles ranking of world No. 227 as well. He attained this rank in October 2022. 

Since turning professional in 2015, Kwon Soon-woo has won two ATP, three ATP Challenger Tour and five ITF World Tennis Tour singles titles.

He is a popular tennis player in Korea, known for his talent, hard work as well as cute looks. 
Born in 1988, Yubin made debut as a member of Wonder Girls in 2007; she is currently active as a soloist. 

She also launched her own management agency rrr Entertainment in early 2020. 
Since Kwon Soon-woo was born in 1997, they are nine years apart. Age does not seem to get in the way of their love though.
