Paris Saint-Germain won the Coupe de France (French Cup) final against Stade de Reims 3-0 at Stade de France in Saint-Denis, France, on the 24th (local time) for the 2024-2025 season. On this day, Lee Kang-in was named on the substitute list but did not get on the field. However, after the match, he celebrated joyfully with his teammates during the victory ceremony.

Lee Kang-in's family and acquaintances also celebrated him at the stadium that day. In particular, Park, who was rumored to be in a relationship with Lee Kang-in last year, attended as well. Lee Kang-in and Park were seen taking affectionate photos together and hugging at the match. Both wore similar design rings on their left-hand ring fingers.

The two were also seen together in the stands at the French Open tennis major event held at Roland Garros in Paris on the 26th, two days later. They watched the first-round match between Jannik Sinner and Arthur Rinderknech together.

The dating rumors between Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo began with a report by entertainment media Dispatch last year. At the time, the media cited sources close to the couple, stating, "Lee Kang-in's biological sister met Park Sang-hyo at a Korean community gathering in Paris, and they naturally became close while watching PSG matches together." The report indicated that Lee Kang-in, who is affiliated with PSG, and Park Sang-hyo, who is attending graduate school in France, grew closer in the area.

Born in 1999, Park Sang-hyo is known as the 5th generation of the Doosan family. He is the son of Park Jin-won, vice chairman of Doosan Bobcat Korea, and the eldest son of former Doosan Group chairman Park Yong-sung. He is two years older than Lee Kang-in, who was born in 2001.
