Kim Yuna, Lim Ji-yeon: Korean Goddesses Who Maintain Their Love Relationship During Partner’s Enlistment
Former figure skater Kim Yuna and actress Lim Ji-yeon patiently await their husband and lover in the military.
In the latest episode of KBS 2TV’s “Importal Songs: Sing the Legend,” which aired on February 24th, Forestella, a 4-member pop-opera group appeared as a trio without member Ko Woo-rim, who is serving in the military.
MC Kim Joon-hyun mentioned Ko Woo-rim’s absence, saying, “It’s the first competition you participate in with just the three of you,” and Lee Chan-won asked, “Was there a moment when you can feel the emptiness left by Ko Woo-rim while preparing for the performance?“
In response, Forestella members nodded, “We feel that very much.” Lim Han-byeol then indirectly mentioned Ko Woo-rim’s wife, legendary figure skater Kim Yuna, saying, “How about your sister-in-law…?“
The Forestella members responded, “She’s too expensive (for us to be able to mention),” making everyone laugh.
Ko Woo-rim and Kim Yuna got married in October 2022. They met at the 2018 All That Skate Ice Show and became a couple. Kim Yuna had to wait for 2 years as Ko Woo-rim joined the military in November last year, a year after their marriage.
Lim Ji-yeon, who is in a relationship with actor Lee Do-hyun, has also drawn attention recently. The two appeared in the Netflix series “The Glory” and became a couple after admitting their relationship in April last year.
Lim Ji-yeon, born in 1990, and Lee Do-hyun, born in 1995, are a couple of five years difference in age. Lee Do-hyun joined the military in August last year, four months after their dating news. Lim Ji-yeon is patiently waiting for Lee Do-hyun while her boyfriend continues his military career in an Air Force military band.
Lee Do-hyun’s big screen debut “Exhuma” (directed by Jang Jae-hyun) was released on the 22nd, but Lee Do-hyun could not participate in the film promotion schedule in person. Lee Do-hyun said hello to the audience and encouraged them to watch “Exhuma” with a video he filmed before joining the military.
Lim and Lee have recently been seen enjoying a brunch date without being conscious of the eyes around them. It is believed that Lim Ji-yeon’s photo of the food she posted on her SNS was taken at a restaurant she visited for a date with Lee Do-hyun. It seems that the two went on a vacation and are still dating affectionately.
