Actor Lee Dong-gun is entangled in romance rumors with junior actor Kang Hae-rim, while the fortune-telling he received last year on SBS 'My Little Old Boy' is gaining renewed attention.
During the broadcast, Lee Dong-gun visited a temple with Kim Jun-ho to see the New Year's fortune. Both of them appeared nervous with the unique method of fortune-telling using paper floats in water, and particularly, the shaman who read Lee Dong-gun's fortune surprised everyone with unexpected words.
The shaman noted, "You are very lonely and tend to cry a lot with your heart. I can feel that emotion, and it makes me sad," with tears welling up in their eyes, and then added, "Since missing a big opportunity 20 years ago, I've been just going in circles." In response, Lee Dong-gun expressed his honest feelings, saying, "I've lost everything – good projects, money, and people. I wonder if this is all there is for me now."
However, the shaman soon said, "In 2024, luck will start to improve again. Activities will become lively once more," relaying a positive outlook, and particularly noted, "You may marry a businesswoman over 50. A noble son appears in your fortune," which caused a stir in the studio. This was because it conveyed hope that Lee Dong-gun could start a new romance.
Now, about a year later, Lee Dong-gun is again receiving public interest due to romance rumors with the 16-year younger actor Kang Hae-rim. The two were spotted enjoying a date on the streets of Gangnam in Seoul, but both sides kept quiet, stating, "It's a private matter, so it's hard to confirm."
In the meantime, with the fortune predictions from the past broadcast seeming to align perfectly, internet users are reacting with comments such as, "Creepy predictions," "The counterpart isn't a businessman, but it's interesting mentioning a 'noble son,'" and "The point is that they are starting another romance again."
Currently, Lee Dong-gun, born in 1979, is 45 years old. While there is still a distance from the age mentioned in the predictions, and the counterpart is not a businessman, many are commenting on how it is fascinating that the fortune-telling included mentions of "romance, marriage, and a son."
Meanwhile, Lee Dong-gun married fellow actress Jo Yoon-hee in September 2017 but divorced by mutual agreement in May 2020 after approximately three years. The two have a daughter together, who is currently being raised by Jo Yoon-hee. It has been reported that Lee Dong-gun regularly meets with his daughter post-divorce and fulfills his responsibilities as a father. This aspect was revealed through the SBS entertainment program 'My Little Old Boy.'
