At 30, Young Jonn said he is keeping things light and simple rather than diving into a full-on relationship.

The singer explained that his decision stems from self-awareness. According to him, it would be unfair to tie a woman down when he knows he isn’t capable of offering the attention and depth a committed relationship requires.

He shared:

“Everybody loves love. Love is wonderful. But I’m not really in that space where I can give so much of me to one person. So, I’m just keeping it platonic with everybody. I don’t want a serious relationship right now. Because I feel like I won’t be able to give that person as much as I’m supposed to. So why put them in that situation?”
