Thanks to his role as Park Min-young’s “bad husband” in the hit K-drama “Marry My Husband”, Lee Yi-kyung is one of the hottest actors today, gaining huge attention after more than 10 years of being relatively unknown. In fact, his private life and dating affairs are subjects of interest for many fans.
Recently, Lee Yi-kyung has been actively “shipped” with former Lovelyz member Mijoo, on the popular show “Hangout with Yoo”.
In the latest episode, when the national MC Yoo Jae-suk said, “Someone told me that Mijoo is secretly dating someone. I won’t reveal who that person is”, other members speculated that Mijoo’s boyfriend might be a Christian, given her recent visits to the church.
As many started to suspect Lee Yi-kyung, the actor cleverly denied the rumors by stating, “She goes to church, and I go to the temple. I’ve bowed 108 times.” This indicates that Lee Yi-kyung is not dating the female idol at all.
Nevertheless, the duo continues to have great chemistry on television, even delivering a sizzling performance of “Trouble Maker” at the 2022 MBC Entertainment Awards. At the time, this duo were so close that even Lee Yi-kyung’s mother inquired about the relationship between her son and Mijoo.
Despite everything, the actor asserted, “I prefer taking care of Mijoo rather than dating her, even if she is the last girl on Earth.”
On the other hand, Lee Yi-kyung’s background is far from ordinary, as he is a real-life heir with a heroic personality. He once saved a man from suicide, and never relied on his family background, working hard at part-time jobs and earning acting roles by his own efforts.
In the past, Lee Yi-kyung publicly dated actress Jung In-sun. The two met through mutual acquaintances in 2017 and became a couple. They kept their relationship private while working together in the drama “Welcome To Waikiki.” However, after only two months of going public, the couple decided to part ways amicably.
