On November 4 and 6, a restaurant in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul shared photos of autograph messages left by Lee Chae Min and Ryu Da In on their social media account. Lee wrote, “Always grateful,” while Ryu added, “Always enjoy the food here. Wishing you prosperity.” Though their visit dates were posted separately, the timing suggested the two dined together, quietly marking their one-year anniversary.
Previously, on September 29, Ryu Da In took to Instagram to post photos of her birthday cake, complete with bold black “25” candles and her signature playful grin. With cake on her nose and arms stretched wide, her youthful energy and happiness captured hearts online.
What truly caught fans’ attention? The cake. The exact same one from the same café that Lee Chae Min posted for his own 25th birthday on September 16.
The couple, who went public with their relationship in March last year, showed off their synced celebrations — same age, same café, same cake — in a subtle but sweet display of affection.
While fans found it endearing, some netizens criticized them for over-sharing their romance on social media—labeling it “Lovestagram”—and claimed it distracted from Lee’s acting.
Despite the wave of negative comments, their bond has only grown stronger. Many fans, especially those from the MZ generation, continue to root for the couple, seeing them as a modern and relatable love story.
Lee Chae Min recently wrapped up his role as Yi Heon in Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, earning praise for his nuanced performance. Meanwhile, Ryu Da In, known for her roles in 18 Again, Crash Course in Romance, and Pyramid Game, is currently reviewing an offer to star in the upcoming SBS drama Awakening.
