How are these hot Asian heartthrobs over 30 still single?

Valentine’s Day may celebrate romance, but it also raises a fascinating question: how are some of Asia’s most irresistible men still single?

With their undeniable charisma, sculpted cheekbones, and fan bases that span continents, these heartthrobs have all the makings of romantic legend. Yet, whether by choice or circumstance, love appears to have taken a back seat – much to the delight (and hopeful imagination) of admirers everywhere.

Gong Yoo

Age: 46

Gong Yoo has never publicly confirmed a romantic relationship and remains unmarried, maintaining a notably private approach to his personal life.

Throughout his career, the actor has frequently been the subject of dating speculation, often linked to co-stars following popular dramas or films like Kim Go Eun, Jung Yu Mi, and Yoon Eun Hye. However, none of these rumours have been substantiated or officially acknowledged.

In interviews, Gong Yoo has consistently emphasised his preference for keeping his private life out of the public eye. He has also shared that he views marriage as something that should happen naturally rather than under external pressure.

Despite longstanding public curiosity, there has been no confirmed information regarding his relationship status.

Lee Dong Wook

Age: 44

As of early 2026, Lee Dong Wook has not publicly confirmed a romantic relationship and is widely understood to be single. Recent coverage suggests the actor has remained largely focused on his acting career, with no verified reports indicating an active dating life.

Like many high-profile Korean stars, Lee has periodically been the subject of speculation, most notably in connection with co-stars such as Yoo In-na – rumours that have consistently remained unsubstantiated. His only publicly acknowledged relationship was with singer-actress Bae Suzy in 2018, which lasted several months before the pair parted ways, citing demanding schedules.

In interviews over the years, Lee Dong Wook has spoken candidly, and often humorously, about romance. He has remarked that dating has become increasingly challenging in his 40s and has even described himself as “too lazy” for relationships at this stage of life. The actor has also indicated that he does not view marriage with any particular urgency, expressing a preference for allowing such milestones to unfold naturally.

Choi Min-ho

Age: 34

Choi Min-ho of SHINee remains notably private about his personal life, with no publicly confirmed relationship as of early 2026. While he has occasionally been the subject of dating speculation – often arising from acting projects – none have been substantiated. His on-screen pairing with Chae Soo-bin in the 2022 Netflix series The Fabulous was strictly professional.

Currently, Min-ho appears focused on his career, balancing his activities with SHINee alongside a steadily expanding presence in television and film following the completion of his military service.

Jerry Yan

Age: 49

Jerry Yan has long mastered the art of romantic mystery. Decades after Meteor Garden, the Taiwanese heartthrob continues to inspire fascination, remaining famously private and widely regarded as single as of 2026.

Much of the public’s enduring curiosity about his love life traces back to his widely known, long-running relationship with Lin Chi-ling – a pairing that captivated fans for years before drawing to a close ahead of her 2019 marriage. Since then, Yan has occasionally been swept into dating speculation, though none of the whispers – including those linking him to figures such as Seanna Chang or Terri Kwan – have ever been substantiated.

Xiao Zhan

Age: 34

As of 2026, Xiao Zhan has not publicly confirmed any romantic relationship, despite persistent online speculation surrounding his personal life. Much of the discussion has been driven by fan reactions to his on-screen chemistry with collaborators, particularly Wang Yibo following The Untamed, as well as Yang Zi after their drama projects together.

Like many actors with intensely followed careers, Xiao has periodically found himself at the centre of dating rumours, including occasional speculation involving industry acquaintances and professional contacts. None of these claims, however, have been addressed.

The actor-singer continues to maintain a notably private stance on personal matters, with public attention largely centred on his career and brand partnerships, including Miiow, Shuke, Angle, Yuanqi Forest, and Eve Lom.

Jackson Wang

Age: 31

Jackson Wang has made it clear that romance is not on his radar. In interviews published in 2025, the singer-entrepreneur openly shared that he is single and has not been in a relationship for the past two years, explaining that his focus remains firmly on work, travel, and creative projects.

While frequently the subject of dating speculation, Wang has consistently downplayed such narratives, reiterating that his priorities are centred on his career. He has also remarked that although he is not actively seeking a relationship, he would remain open to the right person should circumstances naturally align.

True to his candid style, Jackson has even approached the topic with humour, joking in recent interviews that if he were still unattached later in life, he might take more deliberate steps towards finding a partner.

Zhang Zetong

Age: 33

Zhang Zetong continues to keep fans guessing when it comes to his romantic life. As of early 2026, the Singapore-based actor has not publicly confirmed a relationship, maintaining the same quiet discretion that has only added to his intrigue.

What remains unmistakably visible, however, is his easy charm. With an affable, good-natured screen presence, Zetong has become something of a local heartthrob, his infectious smile and tell-tale dimples earning devoted admiration from viewers.

Beyond the camera, the Mediacorp artist has also drawn praise for his involvement in charitable causes, a quieter aspect of his public image that has further endeared him to fans. The combination of boy-next-door warmth and off-screen sincerity has made him especially compelling to audiences.

For now, Zetong appears firmly in his career era, with recent attention surrounding his role in Emerald Hill. On Instagram (@zetongteoh), his updates remain largely work-focused, offering little insight into his private world

Vanness Wu

Age: 47

Vanness Wu, the former F4 member who rose to pan-Asian fame through Meteor Garden and later solidified his leading-man status in Autumn’s Concerto, has kept his romantic life largely out of the spotlight in recent years.

Following his 2018 divorce from Singaporean heiress Arissa Cheo – whom he married in 2013 after an on-and-off relationship – the actor-singer has maintained a notably private stance on personal matters. Despite enduring public curiosity, there have been no publicly confirmed relationships or verified reports of a new partner as of early 2026.
