Choi Ji-woo is a cougar

Chiojiwoo_0219_1

Yep, Hallyu star, Choi Ji-woo has nabbed a younger man.

Recently, the 34 year old star was caught on a date with Lee Jin-wook (28) by the stealthy online news and sports site, SportsSeoul.com. The couple first met on the set of the drama, “Air City”  2 years ago. But there is no confirmation as to when the pair started dating.

There is evidence that Lee Jin-wook is very much in love.  On his Cyworld minihompy in December, he was gushing over his love. He commented that he doesn’t know how love has managed to blossom when all eyes are watching them. He added that he now knows what true love feels like….

On that note, Cho Ji-woo’s management denies the whole affair (it figures).

    he’s a cutie… and i kinda expected her to date someone older actually… and i read that he hasn’t been to the army yet?

    but they did look pretty cute together in the drama… all the best to them if they’re really dating…

    p/s: “On Air” – maybe you meant “Air City”? :)

    It’s only 6 years. Men do that all the time. Are they cougars? No. Cougar is a term used to describe a MUCH older woman with a MUCH younger man. They’re not even a full decade. Pa-leese!

    they’ve been secretly dating for more than 2years now. They finally got caught and told the media.

    >>> correction popseoul >>> The drama is “Air City.”
    “On Air” is a whole different series.
    And a 6yr gap is nothing in the entertainment industry!

    LOL. It’s not so obvious driving a Porsche Cayman!

    They look good together in ‘Air City’. Age is just a number, right?

    6 years is not a big gap at all. Choi Ji Woo looks younger than her age. I think they look perfect together. Both nice looking, tall, talented & most of all they like each other very much. So, there’s no problem at all. She’s not a cougar at all. Some women are married or dating much much younger men (10 – 25 years older). I won’t mention their names for privacy sake. How about men who married or dating much much much younger women? What should we call them? Dirty old men? Statistically women outlived their husbands especially when they are older than them. So, why not marry or date younger men who will probably be around as long as their older wives. Let’s be fair, no double standards anymore nowadays. One should marry or date who ever they wanted to. Good for Ji Woo & Jin Wook.
