The Definitive Answer: Who Does Kitty End Up With After The Explosive XO, Kitty Season 2 Finale?
The question of who Kitty Song Covey ends up with has been a source of intense debate and speculation since the moment she stepped off the plane in Seoul. As of the latest updates in December 2025, the answer has finally become clearer following the highly-anticipated release of XO, Kitty Season 2 on Netflix in January 2025. The spin-off series, which follows the youngest Covey sister on her own romantic adventure at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS), has successfully navigated a complex love quadrangle, providing some definitive closure while still leaving the door open for future romantic complications. This article breaks down the definitive relationship status of Kitty with Dae, Yuri, and Min Ho after the events of the second season.
The journey of self-discovery, which included realizing her bisexuality and navigating a long-distance relationship that crumbled under pressure, has been the true core of Kitty’s story. While the initial season ended in a triple cliffhanger, Season 2 provided a much-needed resolution to the central love triangle—or quadrangle—that defined her first year abroad. The current status reveals a clear frontrunner, but the path to a happy ending remains complicated.

The Season 1 Cliffhanger: A Love Quadrangle Explained
The first season of XO, Kitty concluded with a massive relationship shake-up, leaving Kitty completely unattached but with three potential love interests vying for her attention. This cliffhanger was the driving force behind the Season 2 plot.
The End of Kitty and Dae Heon Kim
Kitty’s original motivation for moving to Seoul was to be with her long-distance boyfriend, Dae Heon Kim (Minyeong Choi). However, their relationship was immediately complicated by a misunderstanding involving Dae’s fake relationship with Yuri Han (Gia Kim). Even after clearing the air and officially becoming a couple, Kitty realized that the reality of their relationship did not live up to the fantasy she had built. The two broke up amicably, recognizing they were better as friends.
The Surprise Feelings for Yuri Han
In a major twist, Kitty began to develop unexpected feelings for Yuri Han, the girl who was initially her rival. This realization was a pivotal moment in Kitty's journey of self-discovery, hinting at her bisexuality. The season ended with Kitty confessing her feelings to Yuri at the airport, only for Yuri to be preoccupied with reuniting with her own long-distance girlfriend, Juliana.
Min Ho’s Confession: The Dark Horse
The final, most shocking moment of Season 1 came when Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee), Dae’s arrogant but secretly caring best friend, confessed his feelings for Kitty on the plane ride back to the U.S. Min Ho had spent the entire season teasing and clashing with Kitty, only to reveal a deep, genuine affection for her.
The Definitive Answer: Who Kitty Chooses in Season 2
With the premiere of XO, Kitty Season 2 on January 16, 2025, the love quadrangle was significantly narrowed down, providing a much clearer picture of Kitty’s romantic future. While the series continues to focus on Kitty’s personal growth, the romantic endgame for the season is heavily weighted towards one specific relationship.
Dae Heon Kim: A Friendship Forged
Season 2 firmly establishes that Kitty and Dae are over romantically. Their relationship settles into a genuine, supportive friendship. Dae moves on with a new love interest, Eunice, resolving his status as a contender for Kitty’s heart and allowing Kitty to move forward without the emotional baggage of her first love.
Yuri Han: The Journey of Self-Acceptance
Kitty’s exploration of her feelings for Yuri was a crucial part of her arc, but ultimately, the two remain on good terms as friends. Yuri’s primary focus in Season 2 is on her own romantic life, specifically her attempts to reunite with her girlfriend, Juliana. This resolution confirms that while Kitty is open to relationships with girls, Yuri is not her romantic partner in the current storyline. The show uses this dynamic to explore Kitty's identity without forcing a relationship.
The Min Ho and Kitty (MinKitty) Connection
The most significant romantic development in Season 2 is the undeniable chemistry and deepening connection between Min Ho and Kitty. Min Ho’s initial confession sets the stage for a classic enemies-to-lovers trope that dominates the second season. Their relationship is tested and developed through various plot points, including Min Ho’s brief, retaliatory dating of another student, Stella, which ultimately fails because of his true feelings for Kitty.
While the Season 2 finale does not end with a formal "they are now a couple" declaration, it heavily points to Min Ho as Kitty's chosen partner. The final episode resolves the central love triangle in a way that leaves only Min Ho as the viable and actively pursued romantic interest. The emotional climax of the season involves Kitty finally acknowledging and reciprocating the depth of Min Ho’s feelings, setting them up to officially begin a relationship in a potential Season 3.
What the Future Holds: A Potential Season 3 Endgame
As of the end of XO, Kitty Season 2, Kitty Song Covey is technically single, but her romantic path is clearer than ever. The writers, including creator Jenny Han, have consistently used the series to focus on Kitty's personal growth, not just her romantic pairings. Her journey is about finding her own voice and identity.
However, the overwhelming consensus and narrative trajectory suggest that Min Ho is the endgame for Kitty, at least for the immediate future. The resolution with Dae and Yuri in Season 2 clears the path for a full exploration of the "MinKitty" relationship. The final moments of the season serve as a classic cliffhanger, confirming that Min Ho’s feelings are genuine and that Kitty is ready to fully embrace them.
Fans eagerly await news of a potential Season 3, where the focus would undoubtedly shift from the love triangle to the complexities of Kitty and Min Ho navigating a real, established relationship at KISS. Until then, the definitive answer is that Kitty has chosen to pursue her feelings for Min Ho, cementing him as the current frontrunner in her love story.
