Lee Seung Gi and Yoona of SNSD Confirmed to be Dating

Last year on New Year’s day of 2013, K-ent was rocked with the stunning and out-of-nowhere news that Hallyu superstar and abtastic Rain was dating brainy A-list actress Kim Tae Hee. It really was a WTF moment to hear the news, not that I wasn’t happy for them but the general “where the heck did this come from” confusion. I didn’t want to make the same mistake again and went to sleep last night ready for whatever craziness to come this New Year’s day of 2014 and K-ent did not disappoint in the least. Tabloid newspaper Dispatch broke the news in the dawn hours that Nation’s Favorite Son Lee Seung Gi is dating SNSD‘s leggy Yoona. Excuse me for a minute to compose myself, even fortified to withstand any dating bombshell news this one is such a nuclear explosion I still feel the ricochet. Dispatch first caught them together in October after Seung Gi came back from a concert in Japan – he picked her up and they had a date the Han River for an hour or so before he dropped her off again and she left carrying a bag containing a present he brought back for her. Since then Dispatch has reportedly snapped them on dates a few times in November as well. I’ve said before that celebs are dating left and right and even the so-called breaking news leaks are coordinated with the tabloids, and in this case it was clear both of them got the all-clear for this to go public because within hours both agencies confirmed the news. They have been dating since September and it’s a very new relationship so the agencies have asked the fans to look upon them warmly as they start the tentative steps of a beginning romance. I think the arrival of Prime Minister and I was meant to change me on so many levels, with a rom-com I love, an onscreen couple I’m rabid for, and making me go from meh-to-adore with respect to Yoona because otherwise I’d be flipping tables right now hearing that my Seung Gi is dating her if I didn’t like her as an actress. Seung Gi has said in interviews in the past that Yoona is his ideal type but then so have a lot of other male stars. Looks like my boy’s got his wish and he’s actually dating the girl of his dreams. Congrats to them both and what a way to start of 2014. Be happy kids!

I won’t bother decoding the paparazzi photos since they confirmed the dating but let me say what a scandal that Korea’s King is dating the Prime Minister’s wife. XD

  • Althought I am happy with this news, I must say that I am slightly disappointed with LSG. Not really a LSG fangirl but being one of the smartest K entertainers who has had a proper education and obtained a International commerce degree and is very talented in pretty much everything, I had hoped that he'd be more into the more intellectual ladies or girls with VERY solid talents...someone like Jung Ryeo Won who is also very smart?

    Don't get me wrong, I love Yoona and thinks that she is very pretty and I also love her as an actress,so I am still very happy for the two despite my disappointment. Hope their relationship goes well under all the scrutiny and outrage from fangirls and congrats to seunggi for finally getting the girl~ :)

    • Maybe Yoona has some nice qualities that trump simple braininess or 'talent' (whatever that means). We should never make the mistake of thinking that what we see on screen in any way approaches the real person behind the entertainer.

      • We are not in the position to critique their relationship w/o a good deal of knowledge of their actual selves. No matter how much we are dismayed or something. We wouldn't want to happen to us in real life either.

    • Yoona's hardly stupid though?? She's at university atm majoring in theater (she goes to the same university that LSG went to). So she currently is pursuing a 'proper education' while juggling her job. I know she's most famous for her looks, but there is more to Yoona than that imo. I think they're very well matched :').

    • Jung Ryeo Won is 6 years older than LSG, it is more common for guys to date girls in their generation rather than have a noona romance, especially intellectual guys who like to be in the driver's seat of the relationship and like to lead rather than follow.

      Plus it's Yoona... Possibly the hottest, prettiest and more desired female star in Korea. The "all girls want to be her, all guys want to be with her" star. Even if he doesn't marry her, all the guys will be jealous and respect LSG for being the guy who dated Yoona(similar response of male netizens to YJH marrying Han Ga In).

      Same for Yoona, LSG is regarded as an Uhm Chin Ah and noona/ajumma's favourite, it's a very low risk relationship of it doesn't work out, her popularity will not be affected, might even increase.

    • You make no sense. We don't really know how they are as people in real life. LSG must be attracted some other qualities about Yoona that we don't know, it's not as simple as brainy people love brainy people and dumb people love dumb people.

    • Dang, some comments that people post on here make me want to go on a slapping spree. Imagine if you were doing well for yourself and found a guy you really liked and someone said this sort of crap about you. Are you his mother or something that you suddenly know what is best for someone you have never even met or talked to once in your life. GTFOuttahere. Oh and I say this as someone who is a very casual fan of both.

    • Yoona is a smart girl, maybe not academic smart (we can't really know that since she didn't really pursue the "brainy" kind of study if you know what I mean), but at least she's street smart, she knows how to place herself around, she's a polite and well behaved girl (and a dork as well). What more to ask? I favour both Yoona (and all of SNSD girls, I say they're a bunch of adorable little dorks with their respective "talents") and Seunggi, watched their progress and steps since debut, adore Seunggi for being a smart adorable heodang. Talent and intellectual means nothing (for me at least) without a good personality and behaviour and manners, and I think it's safe to say that Yoona and Seunggi has them, otherwise they won't be loved by so many elders. Anyway, all the best for them both. Be good, kids!.

      • Sg has enough book smart brains for both of them (not saying she's dumb or anything though), but he could use someone who is street smart since he's the furthest thing from that. That's nice to hear she is since he needs someone like that.

    • YOONA IS A SMART GIRL,,,,,,THATS FOR SURE AMOMG GIRLS GENERATION I THINK SHE;S THE SMARTEST,,,WHY? SHE CAN HANDLE HERSELF IN EVERY SITUATION SHE'S INVOLVED,,,,SHE'S POLITE,,,,SHE'S RESPECTFUL,,,SHE'S FAMOUS AND SHE'S HUMBLE,,IT TAKES U A SMARTEST CHOICE TO HAVE THIS KIND OF QUALTY.....SHE'S SUCESSFUL ALSO....ONLY SMART PEOPLE GET SUCCESS IN LIFE....BILL CLINTON WILL AGREE TO ME AND ALL EXECUTIVES IN THE WORLD

  • They are too cute. I'm a fan and am happy for him. He's all grown up. ;_; She's a great person too. Awww. I love that they admitted it!

  • OMG I'm so shocked I'm actually... lost for words.

    Back when I used to watch Strong Heart and even his other Kvariety shows he'd ALWAYS mention her being his ideal type. So I'm just... Wow. Didn't think his wish would actually come true haha. Good thing I am now loving her in PM&I - best wishes to the two and way to kick start K-ent 2014!

  • HOLY COW! That's one dating news I didn't expect to read today. I don't know how to react. @_@ But whatever makes my Seung Gi happy.

    • I'm SO excited for him... them!! hahaaaaa

      I remember on SH both (I think!!) of them had said the other was their ideal type. Even on 1N2D for some task he had to ask SNSD members for help and he was SO awkward!

      My Seung-gi yaaaaa!! :D

      • Really?! They're both each other's ideal type? Wow, that's great! (I thought it was only SG) I'm just happy for them that they don't have to hide when they go out on dates anymore.

        What a good-looking couple :)

  • Ooops,I posted for them in a wrong thread,Anw .Very good news,really happy for them,esp.Seuggi.Also,kudos to them confirming the news and not giving that 1st grader's level explanation: "we are friends".

  • As Seung Gi's fan, I'm happy for him, he worked hard for the past 10 years and deserves to date. I don't know about Yoona to comment about her but Seung Gi chooses her for a reason, I trust and support him.

  • I'm really shocked too. I love Lee Seung Gi. Although, I'm not such a big fan of Yoona, I'm glad they're dating. She seems like a nice young woman who is smart to know what she wants in life. And she's probably the only idol from SM to be confirmed. I bet all the other Girls Generation members are like, "I'm next! You better confirm me!" They probably did it because they approve of nation's noona killer LSG and if they didn't it would be hard for Yoona and LSG to date always hiding and being mysterious can break a relationship. So, Yay LSG and Yoona! I support you, Fighting!!

  • Seems like since Moonie and Kim Bum took the step to honesty confirm their dating gaining many supporters. Other celebrities are following their footstep and also coming clean with their relationship.

    Congrats to all the new couples. I wish them all well, happiness and love.

    • I was thinking the same! SM Ent. And Seung Gi's company were so fast to confirm it. Just like Moonie and Bummie. Also the respond was very similar. “They just started... They're getting to know each other... Please look kindly after them."
      But I'm so happy!!! They are so cute together. Seriously if there's another couple they should hurry and announce it while its still hot.
