The dating scene of national soccer team player Lee Kang-in and Doosan family fifth-generation Park Sang-hyo was revealed by a foreign fan, drawing attention to the couple's affectionate appearance.
Recently, a foreign fan filmed Lee Kang-in and his girlfriend Park Sang-hyo leaving a luxury watch brand store in Paris, France, and posted the footage on social media.
In the released video, the two are seen walking out affectionately after finishing shopping at the luxury watch store, then noticing a fan taking photos and keeping a slight distance. They walked with some distance between them, and Lee Kang-in, unconcerned about the fan, moved closer to Park Sang-hyo and the two headed to their car side by side.
While being escorted by bodyguards to Lee Kang-in's Ferrari, Lee Kang-in waved to the fan but appeared to be mindful about whether his partner might feel uncomfortable.
He then directly opened the front passenger door for her and watched until she sat in the car, and Lee Kang-in entered the driver's seat through the door opened by a bodyguard, drove and left the area.
Rumors of a romantic relationship between Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo first surfaced last year. According to reports at the time, the two first met in Paris, and Lee Kang-in's elder sister is said to have been involved in their meeting. Lee Kang-in's elder sister met Park Sang-hyo, who was attending graduate school, at a Korean gathering in Paris, and later Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo developed into a romantic relationship.
Meanwhile, Park Sang-hyo, born in 1999, is the daughter of Park Jin-won, vice chairman of Doosan Bobcat Korea, and is two years older than Lee Kang-in. Park Jin-won is the eldest son of Park Yong-sung, the seventh chairman of Doosan Group. Park Sang-hyo graduated from Cornell University and is currently pursuing a graduate program in France.
At the time, Lee Kang-in's side did not express any particular position regarding the dating rumors, but the couple was already regarded as official among acquaintances. It was reported that Lee Kang-in's close friends also follow Park Sang-hyo on social media, and in June last year Lee Kang-in, Park Sang-hyo and Lee Kang-in's elder sister visited Jamsil Baseball Stadium to cheer together.
Moreover, in May, after Paris Saint-Germain, the team Lee Kang-in belongs to, won the French Cup final, Park Sang-hyo was spotted at the victory ceremony celebrating with family, attracting attention.
Around the same time, the two were also seen in the stands at the tennis major Roland-Garros in Paris for the French Open, continuing their relationship publicly in effect.
