Actor Lee Dong-gun has been caught on camera during a date, becoming embroiled in dating rumors. His agency maintained a stance of 'confirmation impossible,' keeping silent, and the parties involved are also remaining unresponsive.
On the morning of the 28th, a media outlet reported that Lee Dong-gun was spotted walking with a beautiful woman on the streets of Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, on the 24th, raising dating rumors. The outlet reported that the two were walking side by side, sharing the atmosphere of the sighting, but Lee Dong-gun's side is not providing a clear stance on this.
Lee Dong-gun's agency, W+ Entertainment, stated in a phone call with OSEN right after the dating rumor report, "It's difficult to confirm with him as it's a personal matter," effectively expressing a stance of 'confirmation impossible.' Since then, both the agency and Lee Dong-gun have not shown any particular response despite repeated contact attempts by OSEN.
Lee Dong-gun married actress Jo Yoon-hee in 2017 and has one daughter, but they divorced by agreement three years later in 2020. The daughter is under Jo Yoon-hee's custody, and it is known that Lee Dong-gun continues to meet with his daughter after the divorce. He appeared on SBS 'My Little Old Boy,' sharing moments with his daughter and showing that he is doing his best as a father.
Recently, he opened a large café in Jeju Island, revealing a new life as a self-employed person. He garnered empathy from viewers by showing his life in Jeju and the process of preparing for the café on 'My Little Old Boy.' This program is also where Lee Dong-gun had interactions related to blind dates or dating content with other participants, raising interest in the connection to the current dating rumors.
However, SBS clarified, "We confirmed the accounts of Mr. Lee Dong-gun through the article. It is entirely unrelated to the main broadcast and is not content that will be aired in a blind date format or any other context."
Previously, Lee Dong-gun was also embroiled in controversy over conflicts with local merchants during the opening of his café. Even at that time, he quietly handled the situation without any public statement. Regarding the current dating rumor report, both the parties involved and the agency have adopted a 'no comment' strategy, increasing public curiosity.
With issues surrounding marriage and divorce, parenting, challenges in self-employment, and dating rumors, attention is focused on whether Lee Dong-gun will maintain his quiet response this time as well or reveal his position.
