Former APRIL member Yun Chae-kyung and former national badminton player Lee Yong-dae, who have been linked in a yearlong dating rumor, will attend their first public appearance together.
Lee Yong-dae will attend MBN's new sports variety program "Spike War," which will be held online on the 28th.
This is Lee Yong-dae's first public appearance since the dating rumors surfaced on the 19th. Since it will be held online, it is regrettable that he will not face reporters directly, but it is meaningful that he will answer questions from pre-registered reporters at the official event.
Lee Yong-dae has been linked in a yearlong dating rumor with actress and former APRIL member Yun Chae-kyung. Lee Yong-dae married actress Byun Su-mi in 2017 after six years of dating, but they divorced in 2018, about a year later, due to differences in personality and other reasons. Now raising his daughter as a single dad and having experienced pain once, Lee Yong-dae is reported to be dating Yun Chae-kyung seriously and cautiously.
There is an eight-year age difference between Yun Chae-kyung and Lee Yong-dae. While they are said to have overcome the age gap and grown into lovers, Yun Chae-kyung's side said, "It is a private matter so it is difficult to confirm," neither confirming nor denying it. However, the recent response of "unable to confirm private matters" in dating rumors is effectively treated as acknowledgement, which is suggestive.
Although the event is online, this will be Lee Yong-dae's first public appearance since the dating rumors. Attention is on what stance he will take if questions about the dating rumors arise.
