AceShowbiz - Suzy has found herself a new man, months after breaking up with Lee Min Ho. The former Miss A member has been seeing actor Lee Dong-wook, who is 13 years old her senior, their labels confirm.
JYP Entertainment which represents Suzy says, "It's true that they [Suzy and Lee Dong-wook] are currently in the process of getting to know each other." Lee Dong-wook's label King Kong by Starship echoes the statement, "They met at a private, casual gathering. They recently started to get to know each other with good intentions and have feelings for each other. Because it's still the beginning and we just learned about it, there's not much we can say about them dating or being a couple."
Earlier on Friday, March 9, local news outlet TV Report broke the news that the "Holiday" singer and the "Guardian: The Lonely and Great God" (a.k.a. "Goblin") actor are in a relationship. They were reportedly spotted on a date at Cheongdam-dong. It's reported that they were very cautious of their surroundings but failed to hide their affection for each other.
Various sources from the industry said that Lee Dong-wook was attracted to Suzy's cool personality and down-to-earth character, but it's Suzy who first expressed interest in him. The two reportedly get along well because of their similarly bright personalities.
Suzy once named the 36-year-old actor as her ideal type during her appearance on "Strong Heart" in 2012. Lee Dong-wook co-hosted the show with Shin Dong Yup from 2012 until 2013.
Suzy previously dated Lee Min Ho for almost three years, before their breakup was confirmed in November 2017. The reason of their separation was not revealed, but the "City Hunter" actor has been serving in military as a public service worker.
Earlier this year, in February, there were rumors that Suzy and Lee Min Ho got back together, but their agencies quickly denied the reports. "After checking with him, it is not true that he is back together with Suzy. It is also absolutely not true that they went on a date together," said MYM Entertainment which represents Lee Min Ho. JYP Entertainment added, "We have checked with her and it is not true that they are dating again."
