Dispatch Breaks News of Won Bin and Lee Na Young’s Possible Dating Relationship

I wonder if Dispatch is on a set time table these days. This tabloid newspaper seems to break juicy dating gossip on a regular basis lately, outing celebrity couple after celebrity couple every month or so. 2013 really might go down as one of those years that is chock full of hooking up news. I have nothing against celebrity couples, I think people in the same profession have a high likelihood of lasting due to shared interests and common discussion topics, though by nature of the beast being shared celebrities negates that advantage since the profession provides ample opportunity for straying or simply not spending enough time together. The only audience boon is seeing two very beautiful people falling in love, rather like watching a drama couple in real life and perhaps learning about a rather romantic dating history. Or as romantic as being in the same agency and sharing the same stylist and thereby spending time together and falling in love, which is allegedly the spark that has now mushroomed into a possible relationship between reclusive K-actor Won Bin (Autumn in My Heart, Mother, The Man From Nowhere) and equally low-key K-actress Lee Na Young (Plan B, Ruler of Your Own World, Ireland). Dispatch broke the news in January of Lee Na Young’s Plan B co-star Rain dating Kim Tae Hee, and if this dating rumor between her and Won Bin is confirmed by their agency shortly, then that just leaves Lee Jung Jin from that drama to drop his own dating bombshell and make it a trifecta. Since debuting in the late 90’s, Won Bin has had a very deliberate and slow-paced acting career, going years between projects and barely any public appearances or magazine interviews. He always comes off as very cold, not mean but just dispassionate and aloof, and funnily enough Lee Na Young has always given off the same vibe with me. If they are dating then congrats to them, because they are both very unique and eclectic actors especially in an industry that feels like a race to uniformity in looks and career goals. Dispatch broke this alleged dating news by photographing Lee Na Young and Won Bin dating at the same place multiple times over the course of a month. And since they are adults and thirty-somethings at that, the photographer snapped them on overnight dates after camping outside. LOL, this is totally a drama scene and its good to know there is some basis in reality for seedy paparazzi lurking around a celebrity’s pad. No word yet from their agency but if its true than I’m happy for them. With their ability to lay low without any scandals or news during their entire careers, my gut tells me this is nicely staged to go public with their relationship which means its serious and we might have another early Hallyu star taking himself off the available market soon.
