AceShowbiz - Nam Joo Hyuk's fans are not happy with the fact that he's dating Lee Sung Kyung, causing them to leave the actor's fanclub. They feel that the "It's Okay, It's Love" actress appeared with him on too many events, including his fan meeting in February that was supposed to be an event for his fans.
On February 26, Joo Hyuk held his first fan meeting in Korea. In the middle of the fan meeting, the 23-year-old actor suddenly mentioned that Sung Kyung was present. Fans saw this as a sign that the two were good friends, but they became angry after knowing the truth.
Besides the fan meeting, the "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo" co-stars often posted photos of them together on Instagram, making some feel that Sung Kyung was only using him for fame. The couple also appeared on Instagram Live together last March, during which Sung Kyung casually put her arm around Joo Hyuk's shoulders. Their "friendship" made fans feel incredibly betrayed.
"I don't know about the other things, but what happened on the fan meeting was too much. It wasn't an event for fans," one fan said on an article on Instiz. "Earning money while dating, I envy you," another sarcastically commented. Others said that they felt betrayed by his actions, saying that they "really don't like this kind of thing."
Joo Hyuk and Sung Kyung's dating reports broke on April 24. Photos of them going on dates in disguise surfaced online, revealing that they started dating five months ago. YG Entertainment confirmed their relationship, saying, "We have checked with Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk. We were told that they recently started seeing in each other romantically after being friends since their modeling days."
