Rumors of Lee Dong-gun and Kang Ha-rim’s Relationship, Balancing Privacy and Public Opinion… Both Sides Respond Cautiously as Attention Grows
Actors Lee Dong-gun and Kang Ha-rim have found themselves at the center of relationship rumors. Speculation about a romance that transcends their 16-year age gap has captured the public’s interest.
However, the individuals involved have chosen not to confirm the rumors, citing privacy reasons.
On the 29th, Sports News reported that the two were spotted on multiple dates in the Gangnam area of Seoul.
The media described Lee Dong-gun, who is suspected to be in a relationship with Kang Ha-rim, engaging in natural displays of affection and appearing confident without being conscious of the surrounding gaze.
Some industry insiders have claimed that the nature of their relationship was already known among certain circles.
However, both agencies stated, “It is impossible to confirm details about the actors’ private lIVEs.”
The ambiguous stance of neither clearly denying nor confirming the relationship rumors seems to be a careful choice between protecting privacy and managing public interest.
Due to these rumors, Lee Dong-gun’s past relationships and family matters have once again garnered attention.
He married actress Jo Yoon-hee in 2017 and they had a daughter, but they divorced in 2020.
His consistent efforts to spend time with his daughter were previously revealed on SBS’s ‘My Ugly Duckling.’
At that time, he expressed a cautious attitude, stating, “Dating is something that should not be rushed, especially when considering a child,” but recent relationship rumors seem to deviate slightly from his previous stance, leading to mixed reactions from fans.
On the other hand, Kang Ha-rim, a former Miss Korea contestant turned actress, gained attention for her lead role in Netflix’s ‘Somebody.’
She expanded her acting spectrum by appearing in the film ‘Lobby’ following her success.
In a situation where facts have not been confirmed, the cautious approach from both sides may be a choice to reduce the possibility of legal disputes.
