Hori7on's Jeromy confirms love ban in idol groups

Hori7on's Jeromy just confirmed the rumored love ban in idol groups.

The idol is part of the P-Pop group that trained in the Philippines and South Korea. The love ban has long been rumored, wherein members of idol groups are not allowed to get into romantic relationships.

On Monday's “Fast Talk with Boy Abunda," Jeromy finally revealed that the love ban is real.

“Nasa kontrata po namin ‘yun,” he said.

“We’re not allowed to have relationship, girl or boy like ganun. If maano namin ‘yun, magbabayad kami,” he added.

Sugar Mercado, Jeromy’s dance partner in “Stars on the Floor,” then teased him that he has a crush on fellow idol Chanty.

“Never niya matitignan mata sa mata si Chanty,” she said.

In a "Fast Talk with Boy Abunda" interview in 2024, Hori7on member Vinci had said they are told to focus on their careers instead of romance.

Hori7on is a boyband that was formed on a reality show, with the members voted in by the public.

The group has been making waves with their unique take on mixing P-pop with K-pop influences.

They have performed in events in Korea and also held solo concerts at the Araneta Coliseum and the SM Mall of Asia Arena.

In April, the group was among the performers at the ASEAN-Korea Round Music Festival.
