Lee Dong-gun and Han Ji Hye in splitsville

Published January 4, 2008 Han Ji-hye , Lee Dong-gun

Sweet 18 couple Lee Dong-gun and Han Ji Hye broke off their highly publicized relationship of three years last month. Rumors about their break-up became official news when Han Ji Hye confirmed it during a phone interview and deleted all the lovely dovey pictures of her and her ex, Lee Dong-gun on her cyworld minihompy.

Speculations about their break-up started last week when they avoided questions about marriage plans when they attended Lee Seung Yeon’s wedding on December 27th and escalated when Han Ji Hye did not mention Lee Dong-gun during her thank-you speech on KBS Drama Awards on December 31.

The two are coping with their break up the best they know how. Han Ji Hye is currently busy filming her drama I hate you, but its fine and Lee Dong-gun is busy deciding his next movie.

Since these two are now on the singles market, who do you think will hook up first? The cute and sexy super model Han Ji Hye or sweet and gentle Lee Dong-gun?

I also read Lee Dong Gun went to Japan to ease the pain last December and Han changed her cellphone number.
11 Grace January 4, 2008 at 1:56 pm

~*~*Well, that sucks! What a way to start the new year…with a break up. I wish them the best of luck because breaks up are hard especially after being together for three years.*~*~
18 frannie January 4, 2008 at 2:36 pm

what could be the reason???it’s so sad hearing such kind of news.
19 mHeaven January 4, 2008 at 2:39 pm

I LOOOVe this guy @_@. i never knew his name..i always just know him as “guy from the dramas that never gets the girl. Haha maybe i can get him now (not) T_T
20 yetaz January 4, 2008 at 2:48 pm

lol han ji hye probably got pissed off when lee dong-gun was getting it on with uhm jung-hwa in the “Changing Partners” movie..that sex scene was pretty intense for the conservative korean market.
21 Faa January 4, 2008 at 2:49 pm

Lol at his obvious fake tan in the picture.
He’s kinda cute though. Is he the guy from Sang Doo and Biscuit Teacher?
22 Brina January 4, 2008 at 2:49 pm

Aw, well best of luck to the both of them. They seemed cute, but they don’t look too happy in the photo..
23 Cutie January 4, 2008 at 3:04 pm

At least it was breakup before marriage.
24 junsufan January 4, 2008 at 3:06 pm
25 frannie January 4, 2008 at 3:06 pm

ohh so lee dong-gun did a sex scene?? if it’s the reason of their break-up, maybe han ji hye isn’t that matured enough to understand that it’s just work..hmm unless there’s something really going on between lee dong-gun and his co-star offcam..
26 Anna January 4, 2008 at 3:21 pm

OMG!!! oMG!!! THat broke up!?!?!?!?!??!??!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! But they were the cute and funny couple!!! (Sighs) I don’t think neither of them is gonna hook up after the break up. I mean, they both might think that it’s a little too fast! (I think so) But yeah… they were a good couple! Love her personality in sweet 18. ahhahah! She wasn’t ashame or embarass of anything! Hahah!

53 Min A January 5, 2008 at 3:12 am

is this for real? gee…I like both of them soooooo much…they look so good together!!

I just checked on Han’s cyworld, Lee’s pictures are still there…hummmm… & she’s still using “Lee Ji Hye”, not Han Ji Hye.
54 lucie January 5, 2008 at 3:37 am

what? noooo they were sooo adorable together… i loved their dramas together… that’s so sad, i’m hoping it’s a temporary split… T.T
55 lovekibum January 5, 2008 at 3:56 am

56 Arie January 5, 2008 at 4:43 am

Oh noeees, they were so cute together o-o;

Well, I guess it’s fine, as long as they are alright..
But I loved to see them together, they were such a nice couple.. x-x
Hope they make up, by now I was expecting them to get married XD
57 bloo January 5, 2008 at 5:13 am

Sexy model? I didn’t even know she models or sexy even.
58 ayu-rin January 5, 2008 at 5:33 am

how sad… i thought they lookes so sweet together…
59 o-cha January 5, 2008 at 6:02 am

Min A : Lee Ji Hye is Han Ji Hye’s real name.

Awww that is such a shame that they broke up. They seemed to be so much in love. Well..all the best to both of them..hopefully they’ll bounce back from this soon.
60 epuni January 5, 2008 at 6:41 am

i hope she hooks up with her co-star kim ji suk. they would make a cuter couple.
61 joy January 5, 2008 at 7:50 am

LDG should try and court EUGENE KIM…I think they would make a good match and she’s ready to get married! Best of everything to both of them.
62 Stephaine January 5, 2008 at 7:51 am

awww thats so sad they look so good together and 3 years wow
63 taylor January 5, 2008 at 8:11 am

aww… they are so cute together
64 SP January 5, 2008 at 8:16 am

WHAT? I just found out these two were dating…maybe she wasn’t too happy with his ‘actions’ in CHANGING PARTNERS. I was even surprised! Well, either way I wish these two the best, individually!
65 liz07 January 5, 2008 at 10:36 am

No no No! They were so cute together. Espically in Sweet 18…
66 hikaru181262 January 5, 2008 at 10:50 am

Ohayo!

Blame it on ‘CHANGING PARTNERS’ maybe for the eventual break-up! LDG acted cool there but I cannot believe my eyes when I saw his sexual moves towards his female lead. Anyway it’s the entertainment world. People come people go so stars date stars break-up as well!
67 moonyoojin January 5, 2008 at 12:39 pm

YEAH~~~~ 한지혜 is all mine now
ㅋㅋㅋ i love her so much <3333~~~~
68 Raihana January 5, 2008 at 1:06 pm

69 tenretni January 5, 2008 at 1:51 pm

i knew he couldn’t stop thinking about ME! jk, jk… but h,mm, thats life, so i guess it wasn’t meant to be.. best of lucks to both
70 amareally January 5, 2008 at 2:09 pm

HOAAAH ! that’s too bad ?? I thought they were booked on a one way ticket to marriageville ! what happened ?? was it because Lee Dong Gun was steamy in Big Bang’s MV ? hmmmhhh I wonder what happened ..
71 Thuy January 5, 2008 at 3:15 pm

NOOOOOOO!!
72 frannie January 5, 2008 at 3:23 pm

73 Spamstereeno January 5, 2008 at 11:40 pm

whatever
74 jhanine_63 January 6, 2008 at 1:35 am

too bad…I always thought they would really end up together…
75 Mrs Moon January 6, 2008 at 9:51 am

my friend asked me why do you like lee dong gun’s couple n hate eric’s girl?both are ur bfs,right?i told her, han ji hye looks conservative (dunno if she is), decent, like those sweet women 2 b xpected as daughters-in-law to all ajumma n so cute being 2gether with dong gun. while park si yeon looks more like a betrayer (though eric seemed 2 b due 2 the brake up),her fierce face went along very well with d weird eyebrows.i dunno, i just got negative feeling on her. i was so happy knowing eric n her had broke off but not about the brake up of dong gun n ji hye.i even could imagine how such a good n loving parent they could b in d future….
76 Wicked January 6, 2008 at 2:09 pm

Oh, wow I didn’t even know they were together. I always wanted them to be together since I saw sweet 18 and My boyfriend is type ….damn that hope was short lived…..that just sucks. oh well maybe they’ll still entertain us with their drama’s!

88 sexychikita January 8, 2008 at 1:17 am

Uhh, that’s is really sad & heart-breaking. i just loved their chemistry. i thought they would really last. tsk. 3years is such a long term-relationship to be considered in showbusiness. what’s the reason behind the break-up? uhh, that’s really shocking. i hope that they would still work on things out soon.
89 vinalicious January 9, 2008 at 2:21 pm

sssssooooooo sad!!!! maybe they just need space!

still hoping for a reconciliation!!!
90 Jeannie January 9, 2008 at 7:13 pm

I am extremely sad to hear about their split.. aarrgh.. =(

To me, they an ideal couple. I am hoping that they will get married & settle down.

How I wish this news is NOT true..!!

Anyway, even if it’s true, I wish them all the best. Hope that they are able to either patch things up or find someone else who are equally good for both of them. To be honest, I really do hope that they are still together..
91 keiko January 11, 2008 at 1:32 pm

is dat the girl from my boyfriend is type b? =S
92 xoxo2 January 14, 2008 at 2:04 am

I heard Lee Dong Gun has major anger/temper/controlling issues and that’s why Han Ji Hye broke up with him. He got angry when he called her and she would be out drinking with her girlfriends. I also heard he cursed at another celebrity when they got into a fight. People: watch YSMM with LDG and HJH where he gets mad at her multiple times for NO REASON and you’ll see what I mean. He acts like a spoiled little brat.
93 Kew January 15, 2008 at 2:19 am

Please return!!,I love you both.
94 CHONA January 15, 2008 at 2:03 pm

predictable they’re too showy to me
97 Kristel January 18, 2008 at 5:48 pm

Aww… They’re my favorite couple!!! Why oh why???!!!
98 siena January 21, 2008 at 4:40 pm

oh man!i’m surprised!i’m a very big fan of their loveteam and after couple of months not hearing about them i will just discover that they already broke up, last time i heard about them is getting married. how frustating for a fan like me. well we are hoping that they’ll be together again. anything is possible:)
99 yana January 22, 2008 at 8:37 pm

what?
it can’t be
they are cute couple!!
100 Diem January 24, 2008 at 8:21 am

aww…that’s so sad…

I loved them together in “Sweet 18″…

Well, I guess they’re both meant for someone else…
102 tsukushi01 January 28, 2008 at 1:31 pm

that’S just toooooooooooooo bad! maybe they’re just following hormones like how it was said in sam soon… hoping that their hormones will be activated again! (before thinking green, please watch sam soon first)
103 charitee January 30, 2008 at 5:55 pm

that seriously bites. i really loved them as a couple. they were so cute and just <3.
104 Moe Moe January 30, 2008 at 7:12 pm

I don’t want them to break up for sure. They are very matching. But, they are celebs and young. So, wish both of you good luck.
105 lina January 31, 2008 at 6:05 am

106 hwanisti January 31, 2008 at 2:12 pm

I can’t imagine………….

Oh My God…why this could be happened??????

107 nafida February 1, 2008 at 10:53 am

108 irees February 1, 2008 at 12:49 pm

WHAT?! OHMYGOSH. I JUST FOUND OUT TODAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A BLOG ABOUT DONG-GUN’S SINGING CAREER TODAY. WAHHH! this is horrible! i actually thought they would last… they were like the equivalent of brad pitt and jennifer aniston when they were still together, but i guess all good things must come to an end. =\

111 daphne February 22, 2008 at 4:11 am

reality can be so real. one minute, they can be lovely doveys, the next minute… they can be total strangers. life is so cruel… such a cute couple… great relationship when i look back at the photo shoots they used to have together, so sweet*… and this is it… all over, everything’s over… i guess… this is life and we have to move on whether we like it or not… i was hoping that they could stay truthful and loving to one another forever… and continue their relationship… it ended so soon… too soon…
112 GERALDINE February 24, 2008 at 7:52 pm

ouch!!!!!!!!! thats too bad
the’re perfect couple
113 ayu February 27, 2008 at 1:17 pm

they broke up?
andweeeeeee….!!!!!
114 jannye March 2, 2008 at 11:10 pm

Hi Dong Gun,

When i saw the news of you & Han already break up, it was too sad to know that.

Before i read the Electric New Paper, i did leave a reply saying that both of got the happy married in future. But after i read the “Electric New Paper” which dated on July 26 05 in the paragraphy stated from you saying ” a perfect boyfriend is someone who is caring & always concerned about his girl”.”The most important thing is you have to take care of her & protect her.”

From this 2 paragraphy, i believe saying “break up” this words from your mouth.

Anyway, i really hope you are fine now, life till have to continue……don’t be too sad..

I told my hubby to watch the movie of Sweet 18 recently, when i ask him how the character of this girl (Han Ji Jye) and the man(Dong Gun) tat she broke off with Dong Gun recently wat his point (cos he is a person who knows how to c people’s character thru’ face which a lot of his friends and clients look for him)

It because of the girl’s frame that matter most which she made such move to boost up her popularity. And for the man, he is a kind which need a partner who can always at his side taking care,loving him no doubt he is a bit hot temper/major anger but he will care, protect and love his partner.

Dong Gun i hope you can find a partner which you find comfortable with and live happily. I will always support and pray for you siliently here….
115 ilovetosing March 4, 2008 at 8:04 am

Life is queer with its twist and turns.Success is failure turned inside out,so when you get hit the hardest that you must not quit.Everything will be okay…Keep on Smiling.you will get through it all…..
116 CHONA March 4, 2008 at 5:51 pm

All I know is I love LDG. maybe Han Ji Hye is not meant for him.HJH should find another guy.
117 ilovetosing March 12, 2008 at 3:13 am

I can’t wait to see Lee Dong Gun’s next project.Hope to see
one before he leaves for his military duty.And as for his break-up.Maybe they are not meant for each other,if they are then we are hoping for their reconciliation and besides they are young and I do hope they will find their way to each others arms.We just have to be patient and wait.Anyhow,whatever happens,LDG will always be my STAR and hoping someday I will be able to see you in person.I wish you all the luck in the world and KEEP ON SMILING….:):):)
118 ll March 19, 2008 at 11:18 am
