On August 30, 2021, notorious gossip site Dispatch Korea – which broke the news that G-Dragon and Blackpink’s Jennie are dating, as well as Hyun Bin and Son Ye-jin – splashed news that Lee Min-ho is in a relationship with singer and actor Lee Da-bin, better known as Yeonwoo. According to the outlet, the two have been dating for five months and spent her birthday together on August 1, where Lee picked Yeonwoo up in his car for a movie date.
However, the news was swiftly denied by both stars’ agencies just a few hours after the initial report broke. Lee’s agency quickly stated, “the two are just acquaintances”, dismissing the photographs as a group outing with friends, while Yeonwoo’s agency took a little longer to confirm the same thing.
