Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee appear to be dating after drama series they costarred "Laurel Tree Tailors" ended on February 26. The rumor of them dating has been confirmed by Lee Dong Gun's agency FNC Entertainment and Jo Yoon Hee's agency Kingkong Entertainment.
"The two of them have developed romantic feelings and began dating near the end of their drama series. Please support them," said the representative of FNC Entertainment as quoted by Soompi. Kingkong Entertainment revealed that Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yun Hee have been dating for about a week. The KBS drama "Laurel Tree Tailors" has wrapped its finale episode on February. According to Korea Portal, the staff and production crew have long suspected that the pair is madly in love with each other during the production process.
However, Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee apparently agreed to keep it quiet since Lee has just broken up with Jiyeon whom he dated for about two years. Some fans speculated that Jo Yoon Hee is the person behind their break-up while Jiyeon hasn't seemed to be moving on from her former boyfriend. Earlier reports suggest that Lee Dong Gun and Jiyeon broke up because they couldn't keep up their relationship with their hectic schedules. Despite the rumors that have been circling Lee Dong Gun and Jiyeon's break up, fans are happy for the new relationship that has just begun.
Even though Lee Dong Gun and Jo Yoon Hee are happy to be in their new relationship, the pair hasn't had any talks about marriage yet. Perhaps the new couple is still in their honeymoon period and just wants to get to know each other a little better before starting to discuss marriage.
A lot of fans have been sending their happiest regards to the new pair, but there are also some fans who think that Lee Dong Gun moved on too fast without even considering how Jiyeon's going to feel about his new love. Meanwhile, Jo Yoon Hee has made her first public statement since the dating rumor's been addressed. She expressed her gratitude to everyone for their support and love messages.
