Soccer player Lee Kang-in (Paris Saint-Germain) and Doosan family's 5th generation Park Sang-hyo were captured together at an official event.
Paris Saint-Germain, of which Lee Kang-in is a member, defeated Stade de Reims 3-0 in the '2024-2025 Coupe de France' final held on the 25th (Korean time) at the Stade de France stadium in Saint-Denis, France, and lifted the winner's trophy.
Lee Kang-in was listed on the substitute bench but ultimately did not play. Even though he did not participate, Lee Kang-in attended the victory ceremony to share in the joy, joined by the families of the players on the field.
Among them, Lee Kang-in was seen affectionately linking arms with Park Sang-hyo, who had previously been rumored to be in a romantic relationship with him. Park Sang-hyo reportedly also attended the Ligue 1 victory ceremony of Paris Saint-Germain with Lee Kang-in's family prior to the Coupe de France victory.
The dating rumors between Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo surfaced last year. According to acquaintances, the two met in early 2024, and Lee Kang-in's older sister developed a connection with Park Sang-hyo, who was studying at a graduate school in France, at a Korean community event in Paris, which evolved into a romantic relationship.
According to reports at the time, Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo enjoyed a date at a restaurant frequently visited by Hollywood celebrities. They were also spotted affectionately showing physical affection in the city of Paris. Park Sang-hyo attracted attention last June by watching a baseball game with Lee Kang-in's older sister.
Park Sang-hyo, born in 1999, is two years older than Lee Kang-in. She is the granddaughter of Park Yong-seong, the honorary chairman who served as the 7th chairman of Doosan Group, and the daughter of Park Jin-won, vice chairman of Doosan Bobcat Korea.
As the two were captured together at an official event, netizens suggested that this is effectively an acknowledgment of their relationship.
