South Korean actors Jung Ho-yeon, 30, and Lee Dong-hwi, 39, have officially parted ways after being in a nearly decade-long relationship, both agencies announced on the 26th.
An official from Jung Ho-yeon’s agency, People Entertainment, told Maeil Business Star Today, “Jung Ho-yeon broke up with Lee Dong-hwi,” adding that the two have “decided to remain good colleagues.” Similarly, Lee Dong-hwi’s agency, Company On, acknowledged the split, stating, “It is true that Lee Dong-hwi and Jung Ho-yeon recently broke up.”
The two started dating in 2016 and were much admired for their open nature and being very supportive of each other. Fans still remember how the two had been so candid about their love, with events such as Lee Dong-hwi proudly talking about their relationship on an American TV program last 2021, saying, “Squid Game’s heroine, ‘Dawn,’ is my girlfriend and best friend.” Jung Ho-yeon likewise expressed her grateful thoughts for Lee for encouraging her when she rose to international prominence after Netflix’s Squid Game.
Despite this, the two decided to split.
Former model and now global star Jung Ho-yeon strengthened her place in Hollywood last month with Apple TV+’s Disclaimer, while Lee Dong-hwi is still active on South Korean screens; most recently, he starred in the drama Investigation Team Leader 1958 and participated in tvN’s variety show Renting Room in Finland.
The fans are upset by this news but still consider both actors in their minds as both further their successful careers.
