On the 29th, Spotv News reported that Lee Dong-gun and Kang Hae-rim are currently dating, despite their 16-year age difference. According to the report, the couple has been spotted enjoying dates around the Gangnam area in Seoul, seemingly unconcerned about the public eye. Lee Dong-gun was seen with his arm around Kang Hae-rim's waist or holding her hand tightly, displaying affection openly.
However, both parties have responded to these dating rumors with a 'cannot confirm' stance. Lee Dong-gun's agency, W Plus, stated, "It's difficult to confirm as it pertains to the actor's private life," while Kang Hae-rim's agency, Andmarq, also mentioned, "It's a personal matter, so confirmation is not possible."
Lee Dong-gun married actress Jo Yoon-hee in 2017 and welcomed a daughter that same year. However, just three years into the marriage, in 2020, the couple divorced, with Jo Yoon-hee taking custody of their daughter. Lee Dong-gun has appeared on SBS's 'My Little Old Boy,' showing his dedication as a father by spending time with his daughter every week. Recently, he has also shared updates about opening a cafe in Jeju Island, transitioning into a businessman.
Born in 1996, Kang Hae-rim is a former Miss Korea for Busan and Ulsan, making her debut in the web drama 'Idol Fever' in 2017. She has since appeared in 'Love Naggers' and 'Live On.' Most recently, she played a role in the movie 'Lobby,' directed by actor Ha Jung-woo.
