After being embroiled in dating rumours, not once, not twice, but thrice, Korean actor Lee Joon Gi and Korean actress Jeon Hye Bin were photographed out on a late-night date by Korean media outlet Dispatch.
The celebrity couple, who come from the same entertainment label, later confirmed that they were indeed dating through their company, Namoo Actors. “Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin first met whilst filming a drama, Gunman in Joseon. When rumours of the duo dating first came up, they were just good friends. However, in the first half of 2016, they started dating officially, as they have many things in common and feel the same way towards each other. Please give your blessings to the couple, and continue to support their activities in the future,” the statement read.
According to an insider, the lovebirds often meet at each other’s houses. Last month, when Hye Bin returned to South Korea from South America, Joon Gi went to her house to welcome her home.
The couple were also spotted meeting up together with close friends, with Joon Gi wearing a mask to hide his identity.
After the dating news broke, netizens realised that Joon Gi had posted a picture of himself on Hye Bin’s birthday with the caption, “My person”, accompanied by a heart shape, with some speculating that the post on Instagram was actually meant for Hye Bin, and not his fans.
However, no one suspected anything when the 34-year-old first posted the picture, as the caption was also a line from his recent drama, Scarlet Heart: Ryeo .
