"Anyone would do that for the person they love."
Rowoon mentioned that he had a girlfriend before his debut, however, he did not share the reason for their breakup in the interview. As of now, there's no confirmation if Rowoon is dating anyone. However, there were rumours about him and his Extraordinary You co-star, Kim Hye Yoon, who played his girlfriend in the drama.
