Lee Mi-joo, a former member of the girl group Lovelyz, firmly denied her second dating rumor. Since the rumor surfaced six months after her first public relationship ended, she drew a clearer line.
Lee Mi-joo's second dating rumor has arisen. The counterpart was Lee Jin-young, an outfielder on the Hanwha Eagles. However, Lee Mi-joo's side stated, "We don't even know each other."
On the 25th, a media outlet reported that Lee Mi-joo and baseball player Lee Jin-young were dating, noting that a couple with a 3-year age difference has formed. The media presented evidence of the romance by stating that a lighting prop revealed by Lee Mi-joo in a recent YouTube content appeared similar to the lighting in a photo on Lee Jin-young's social media.
Moreover, it is known that Lee Mi-joo and her family are longtime fans of the Hanwha Eagles, and it was claimed that Lee Mi-joo has shown her affection for the Hanwha Eagles by throwing the first pitch multiple times.
However, this dating rumor was "groundless." Lee Mi-joo's agency Antenna stated to OSEN that "the dating rumor (with Lee Jin-young) is baseless, and we don't even know each other," clearly drawing the line to prevent further spread of misinformation.
Ultimately, Lee Mi-joo's second dating rumor ended as a non-fact "rumor." Previously, Lee Mi-joo acknowledged her relationship with football player Song Beom-kun, who is 3 years younger, in April last year, marking her first public relationship since her debut. She acknowledged the relationship multiple times while appearing on the MBC entertainment program "What Do You Do When You Play?" and garnered significant attention.
After quietly continuing her public relationship with Song Beom-kun, the two parted ways in January after nine months. At the time, the agency stated, "It is difficult to confirm their private lives," but Lee Mi-joo hinted at their breakup through various entertainment programs. It was also reported that the burden of public relationships played a role in their separation.
