On July 23, a new episode of the online entertainment show "Na-rae Sik" was released, with guests being Lee Dong Wook and Park Hoon - 2 actors who co-starred in the currently airing TV series "The Nice guy".
The two chatted enthusiastically and humorously with host Park Na Rae.
In the episode, Park Na Rae mentioned Lee Dong Wook's close friendship and love rumors with comedian Jang Do Yeon.
Lee Dong Wook reacted a bit frustrated and said, "Can we stop talking about Do Yeon? She must be feeling overwhelmed. We even mentioned this on I Live Alone and she seemed very confused.
Park Na Rae later joked that Jang Do Yeon was afraid that Lee Dong Wook's management company could sue her for her constant teasing (about dating). Lee Dong Wook reassured everyone, "Absolutely not. I really like those jokes. I find it very funny when people tease me like that.
He added, "What I was really worried about was that Do Yeon would not feel comfortable. She has received a lot of attention from other male actors, and if people continue to pair her with me, it could make her feel awkward.
When asked if he felt jealous to see Jang Do Yeon paired with actors like Son Suk Koo and Gong Yoo, Lee Dong Wook replied calmly: No, really not. You know why? Because she likes me the most.
Lee Dong Wook's confident and humorous reaction made the entire studio laugh.
Lee Dong Wook was born in 1981, and is one of the famous actors on the Korean screen with an acting career of nearly 30 years.
But the 43-year-old actor has rarely been rumored to be dating throughout his career.
Lee Dong Wook has only had one public relationship so far, which was his relationship with singer and actress Suzy, confirmed in March 2018.
However, the love affair between "uncle and nephew" who are 13 years younger than each other caused controversy in the online community at that time, lasting only 4 months. The two broke up in July of the same year, citing a "busy schedule".
Since then, Lee Dong Wook has focused entirely on his acting career, he has had almost no other love rumors, except for some insignificant rumors with his female co-star in the film.
Media outlets, newspapers or fans have never seen Lee Dong Wook appear outside or be close to another woman.
Actor Kim Bum - a close colleague who co-starred with Lee Dong Wook in the movie "My boyfriend is a glass" - revealed in an interview: "Lee Dong Wook is really too busy to meet someone, it's hard for me to even meet him".
