Actor Lee Dong-gun is embroiled in dating rumors with 16-year-younger Kang Hae-rim.
Lee Dong-gun's agency W Plus said on the 29th, "It's difficult to confirm as it is a private matter." Kang Hae-rim's agency Andmark also stated, "Confirmation is not possible."
On that day, Sports TV News reported that the two enjoyed several dates in the Gangnam area of Seoul. Lee Dong-gun reportedly did not hide their relationship from others, as he was seen with his hands around Kang Hae-rim's waist and shoulders.
Lee Dong-gun, who debuted as a singer in 1998, has appeared in dramas such as Lovers in Paris and Gentlemen of the Laurel Tree. He married Jo Yoon-hee in September 2017 and welcomed their daughter, Loa, in December of the same year. Lee Dong-gun divorced after three years in 2020, and Jo Yoon-hee is raising Loa.
Lee Dong-gun shared his daily life with Loa on the SBS entertainment program My Little Old Boy. As the dating rumors surfaced, a broadcast from January last year where Lee Dong-gun visited a shaman to get his fortune told also became a topic of discussion. At that time, the shaman mentioned, "Marriage luck may come again after turning 50. You should meet a woman who is in business. And a late-born son is seen in your future."
