[OSEN=Yoon Hwiseon] Actor Lee Dong-gun is at the center of dating rumors following a witness account of him on a date. His agency has stated a ‘confirmation impossible’ stance and continues to remain silent on the matter.
On the morning of the 28th, dating rumors about Lee Dong-gun emerged. The first report came from a media outlet claiming that on May 24th, Lee Dong-gun was seen walking with a beautiful woman on the streets of Cheongdam-dong in Gangnam, Seoul.
In response, Lee Dong-gun’s current agency, W Plus, stated, “It’s a private matter, so it’s difficult to confirm with him,” effectively taking a ‘confirmation impossible’ position. Consequently, OSEN attempted to contact Lee Dong-gun several times, but he has remained silent.
Lee Dong-gun married fellow actress Jo Yoon-hee in September 2017, but they divorced amicably three years later in May 2020. The couple has one daughter, who is currently being raised by Jo Yoon-hee.
Despite the divorce, Lee Dong-gun is known to meet his daughter regularly and fulfill his responsibilities as a father. His life with his daughter was previously spotlighted on the SBS variety show “My Ugly Duckling” (shortened as “MiuSa”). Recently, he opened a large café in Jeju Island and showcased a passionate shift into entrepreneurship on “MiuSa,” earning public support.
The show, “MiuSa,” often features participants on blind dates or in dating scenes. Hence, inquiries were made to the production team regarding Lee Dong-gun. However, an SBS representative from “MiuSa” told OSEN, “We learned of Lee Dong-gun’s dating sighting through the news. It’s entirely unrelated to the main broadcast and is not part of any show-related matchmaking or content.”
Previously, there was some controversy regarding his café opening, as other nearby business owners expressed dissatisfaction. At that time, Lee Dong-gun’s side did not release an official statement and chose not to respond, a stance they’re also taking with these new dating rumors, which only heightens curiosity.
