8 times celebrity “love rivals” share the same frame: from Jennie – Nana to Park Shin Hye – IU
Little people know that female celebrities like BLACKPINK Jennie – Nana Komatsu, Park Shin Hye – IU, Yang Mi – Qin Lan, etc… dated the same male celebrity.
The old and new lovers of male celebrities are often considered “love rivals” in the public eyes, though they never compete for anything. As a result, many people find it exciting when female celebrities who date the same man have encounters, and BLACKPINK Jennie – Nana Komatsu, Park Shin Hye – IU, Yang Mi – Qin Lan, etc… have all experienced this.
Jennie (BLACKPINK) – Nana Komatsu
Both BLACKPINK Jennie and Nana Komatsu were alleged girlfriends of BIGBANG leader G-Dragon. In 2018, the two gorgeous female celebrities met in an international event, and interacted closely as if they have always been friends.
On the other hand, Nana Komatsu was reportedly in a relationship with G-Dragon up until 2018, while in 2021, Dispatch claimed that Jennie and G-Dragon were dating. As a result, when the two meet, they immediately become the talk of town, with G-Dragon constantly being mentioned by netizens.
Park Shin Hye – IU
In 2015, both Park Shin Hye and IU appeared at the Korean Popular Culture and Arts Awards. Alongside standing side by side when they came on stage, the two female celebrities were even seated next to each other.
At the time, Park Shin Hye was rumored to be dating Lee Jong Suk. Now, the actor has revealed his happy relationship with IU.
Lee Da Hae – Park Han Byul
Lee Da Hae and Park Han Byul attended an event of Konkuk University in 2009. It was known that actor Lee Min Ki was also among the participants.
Back in 2009, Park Han Byul was in a relationship with famous singer Se7en. However, they broke up in 2014, after Se7en was discovered to have gone to “adult massage rooms” when he was still in the military.
Then, 2 years later, Se7en and Lee Da Hae announced their relationship, and Lee Da Hae and Park Han Byul’s appearance together once again drew attention.
Fan Bingbing – Zhang Xinyu
To the public, Fan Bingbing and Zhang Xinyu have always boasted a rocky relationship, having both dated Chinese actor Li Chen. However, back in 2014, they worked together on the set of “The Empress of China” and had a decent friendship, even posting photos together.
At the time the aforementioned photos were released, Zhang Xinyu already broke up with Li Chen, while Fan Bingbing has yet revealed her relationship with the male actor. It was only until a year later did the couple admit to dating.
Unfortunately, it seems that Fan Bingbing and Zhang Xinyu’s friendship have soured after the dating announcement. They were regarded as “water and fire” by netizens, and often indirectly mentioned each other in a not-so-positive light.
Yang Mi – Qin Lan
Becoming close with each other from the same friend group “Teddy Sisters,” Yang Mi and Qin Lan were both in a relationship with the wealthy Chinese actor Wei Daxun at one point. While no longer in the same friend group, Yang Mi and Qin Lan still show strong sisterhood in their public appearances. At the award ceremony of the 2019 “Golden Rooster Awards,” the pair was seen holding their hands and walking together on the red carpet.
Currently, Qin Lan is dating Wei Daxun, who was caught in a dating scandal with Yang Mi from 2019 to 2021. At the end of 2020, Chinese paparazzi still caught the alleged couple in the same building, raising suspicion that they still lived together.
Yang Mi – Li Xiaofeng
Yang Mi and Hawick Lau was an admirable couple of Cbiz but officially divorced in 2018. Later, Hawick Lau got a new girlfriend, Li Xiaofeng. In the new drama series “She and Her Perfect Husband” starring Yang Mi, Li Xiaofeng ironically played her best friend.
Hawick Lau – Wei Daxun
Hawick Lau and Wei Daxun are Yang Mi’s ex-boyfriends. Coincidentally, they have appeared together in a lot of occasions. In 2017, Wei Daxun and Hawick Lau appeared on the famous show “Happy Camp”, sitting side by side, arm in arm. At the time, Hawick Lau and Yang Mi were legally husband and wife and Yang Mi had not dated Wei Daxun.
In September 2021, Wei Daxun and Hawick Lau appeared together on another show, but this time, Yang Mi and Hawick Lau had already parted ways and the actress was dating Wei Daxun.
Zhou Xun – Faye Wong
Zhou Xun and Faye Wong were deeply in love with Li Yapeng. Zhou Xun and Li Yapeng developed feelings from their collaboration on “The Legend of the Condor Heroes” in 2000 but broke up after a few years together. Faye Wong and actor Li went through an 8-year long marriage from 2005 to 2013.
While the public frequently thought of the actress and singer-songwriter as “rivals,” they were actually close friends in real life, as seen from their co-appearance in “PhantaCity” in 2018.
