New K-star Couple Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin Confirm Dating Relationship

2017 really is the year of K-ent star romances, after TW-ent stole the thunder in 2016 with a slew of high profile celebrity marriages. Another couple has come out of the wood works and it’s none other than previously rumored couple Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin. The media reported back in 2015 that they were dating after meeting on the drama Joseon Gunman but both sides denied it at that time. Flash forward two years later to now and this time Dispatch sent it’s squad to snap pictures of the two going out on dates near Jeon Hye Bin’s home. Lee Jun Ki’s agency Namoo Actors swiftly confirmed the relationship and explained the back in 2015 the two were still friends after working on the drama and it wasn’t until 2016 that it turned romantic and they started dating. Whatevers, that sounds like a plausible cover except it’s totally obvious they were dating since the beginning but just didn’t want to be open about it. Congrats to Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin!

Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin can totally follow in Ji Sung and Lee Bo Young‘s footsteps, as the latter couple met on the set of Save the Last Dance for Me except he was the male lead and she the crazy second female lead and yet they are the ones with the Hallyu drama happy ending in real life. Lee Jun Ki’s female lead in Joseon Gunman Nam Sang Mi is now happily married in real life so it’s onward to wedding bells watch hoping Lee Jun Ki and Jeon Hye Bin also find their own happily ever after with each other.

  • It's weird for him to take part in my Ear Candy if he's already attached. My grouse is that in the program, he led the program with romantic overtones and gave viewers the misconception that he may choose to pursue the relationship offline. There was even supposed to be a special episode on his segment but cancelled it after the dating news broke out. I'm happy for him although I don't like the pairing but who am I to judge. Although I adore him, it just left a bad taste.

    • Exactly.actors should be more cautious of their image or what they're trying to convey to the fans. Also they have a larger fan following, why lead people on with false assumptions?

    • Yes! He totally misled us when he appeared on the tv show, giving every impression that he is single and looking for a partner! I wonder how his girlfriend feels watching the show My Ear Candy. As he said he wasn't given any rom com drama roles, My Ear Candy could be one such role for him. All I can say is, he knows how to create/make news. As a ljk fangirl, I can't help but feel a little betrayed. I can differentiate between him as an actor and him as a normal person who wants to date, but not if he chooses to appear on a tv show My Ear Candy with its overly romantic overtones that totally feed fangirls' fantasies of him as the perfect boyfriend.

      • Not that I am trying to blindly defend him but I believe Jeon Hye Bin surely is aware and made known of his appearance in My Ear's Candy. I don't think he blindsided her at all. And the program is in fact scripted. We do not know what happened behind the camera. He was obviously flirting but given his nature, we all also know that he is very playful and flirtatious. And his candy, PMY also played along and not that she expected herself to fall in love in a reality tv show. LJK and PMY played their parts very well and probably, their segment is the one with the most hype because they played their parts very well unlike the rest of the other couples. And LJK is always a no-hold-bar person, always ended up to appear too direct to some.

    • It's reality tv, the 'reality' in the title is the only real part in it. Its scripted, why would it be misleading. If fans read too much into it, its probably because he is an actor and a fairly good one at that.

      • I didn't know it was completely fictional and scripted. I thought he was single and looking.

      • Its the same format as Kardashians. They give you scenarios and the overall tone to convey and the actors play it out. The whole European setting screams scripted TV to me. I can't believe people bought it for real. Probably because both Joon Ki and PMY are wonderful actors.

  • I'm happy for both of him but jealous of her. Why couldn't be me? Sigh *hide delusional fan girl mode*

    I wish them all the best!!!! It's funny how the second lead got the guy in both cases.

  • No surprise. rumour was spread a long time ago. They denied now they confirm. It's normal for a guy of his age being in a Relationship. But i can understand some reactions of his fans who felt betrayed... It seems from what i read that he was complaining about how it was hard to be alone and was in a tv show for single celebrities... my meaning is : why put all this show when you're dating someone ?

    • all the cast of " 2 weeks " is now off the market. My preference goes for KIM SO YEON and LEE SANG WOO.

    • yap.. I think that too, well well I am happy for them but can not erase this feeling like being cheated or being deceived. hmm.. I don't know.

  • Has he always been the flirtatious type around his co-stars?

    He is a great actor in my books, but I don't know his real personality that well. I did notice however, that he was being very flirty around Zhou Dong-yu. I watched some of their press conference clips, and he "acted" like he was very into her. For example, when she told the reporters that she likes masculine guys, he replied that he will train muscles for her. Also, didn't he "flirt" with IU as well during SBS' Year-end festival? Saying that he enjoys seeing her when he is drunk (? something along those lines..).

    I don't know.. It's a bit iffy if he acts like that when he has a girlfriend/is in a relationship. Not sure if he is just trying to be playful, to joke around or simply because he is cheesy..?

    • I think he's more like that post military with Shin Min Ah (from Arang & The Magistrate) saying that no other actor had been so forthcoming/friendly so quickly. I think some of the "flirty" in front of the cameras is just him doing a job and joking around.

  • "it's totally obvious they've been dating since the beginning" Thanks for keeping it real @ockoala because of course they have been. I'm happy for them and wish them the best though I've pretty much assumed they were together since they were first outed years ago.

    I've only seen a bit of Ear Candy, and it seems very staged especially with it being shot in Europe. It is no more "reality" than all those fake marriage shows. I actually think Dispatch has overall done a favor for Korean actors and singers by outing a lot of dating relationships because it has basically normalized what is normal dating behavior instead of allowing management companies to push some odd celibate "he can be yours" style delusion. Having said that, I do wish they'd done LJG a favor and waited a month or so past the airing of Ear Candy to give him a little breathing room.

    • I would think that nowadays people are enough smart to know that people date, even if they are celebrities. But apparently a lot of people still thinking that the prince of "Sleepng beauty" still exist ! I think that Dispatch knows a lot of dating relationships but they only reveal what they want when they want ! Money rules the world if you get what i mean!

      • Heard that Dispatch change strategy. They'll release the news provided that they obtain consent from both parties becoz they want to maintain a better relationship with the artists so I think they both agree to reveal.
