Actor Lee Dong-gun has been caught up in dating rumors with 15 years younger actress Kang Hae-rim, and it has been reported that he expressed his feelings to close friends, saying, "I'm happy."
On the 1st, Sporty News reported that while Lee Dong-gun did not officially comment on the dating article about Kang Hae-rim, he conveyed his feelings to those around him, saying, "Thank you for the congratulations" and "I'm happy."
Previously, on the 29th of last month, the media reported that Lee Dong-gun and Kang Hae-rim were dating, overcoming their 15-year age difference, and enjoyed a date walking through the streets of Cheongdam-dong in Gangnam, Seoul, without caring about the surrounding attention.
At that time, both Lee Dong-gun and Kang Hae-rim's representatives stated that it was difficult to confirm due to privacy concerns.
Born in 1980, Lee Dong-gun married actress Jo Yoon-hee in 2017 and welcomed a daughter, but they divorced three years later in 2020.
Afterward, he made his acting comeback in the 2023 drama 'Celebrity' and appeared in the drama 'A Love That Is Useless' in January of this year. He gained attention last month by opening a café in Jeju Island, and even after the recent dating rumors, he attracted attention by posting pictures of himself at the café on social media.
Kang Hae-rim, born in 1996, debuted in the 2017 web drama 'Idol Authority.' She took her first leading role in the 2022 Netflix series 'Somebody' and solidified her position by appearing in the film 'Lobby,' directed by Ha Jung-woo, which was released last month.
