Who Has Lee Sung Kyung Dated?
Without further ado, let’s have a closer look at the rumored and confirmed romances of Lee Sung Kyung
Lee Sung Kyung and Nam Joo Hyuk
Lee Sung Kyung’s most notable and confirmed relationship was with Nam Joo Hyuk, her co-star in the drama “Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo.” Their on-screen chemistry was undeniable, and it wasn’t long before fans noticed the sparks flying off-screen too.
In 2016, rumors swirled about their relationship, and in April 2017, their agencies confirmed the news: they were officially dating! The couple’s adorable moments, both on and off set, captured hearts everywhere.
Unlike the drama, their real-life romance was short-lived and they parted ways in August 2017. Busy schedules and difficulty maintaining a relationship in the public eye were cited as the reason for their breakup.
That’s not all, reconciliation rumors gained traction in 2022 when fans noticed them wearing matching outfits and accessories. However, their representatives neither confirmed nor denied the reignited dating rumors.
Despite the split, fans still cherish the memories of this iconic K-drama couple.
Lee Sung Kyung and Loco
Lee Sung Kyung and Loco were caught in an unexpected dating rumor when they shared a photo from the same location. Fans quickly pieced together the clues and assumed that they were in a relationship.
Initially thought to be a ‘Lovestagram,’ the photos came from the music video filming location of their duet song ‘Love’ released in 2021.
Loco married his non-celebrity, longtime girlfriend in September 2022.
Lee Sung Kyung and Kim Young Kwang
The “Cheese in a Trap” actress was linked to almost all co-stars she has worked with. She starred in a romantic melodrama “Call It Love” opposite Kim Young Kwang in early 2023.
In an interview with SPOTV News, she addressed the dating rumors fueled by their lovable on-screen chemistry. According to Lee Sung Kyung, the director warned them about potential misunderstandings, saying “There are all kinds of misunderstandings in the editing room, saying your gazes are suspicious.”
Lee shared that they were able to make their romance feel more believable because of their reactions.
Lee Sung Kyung and Ahn Hyo Seop
Last but not least, Lee Sung Kyung and Ahn Hyo Seop swooned viewers with their chemistry in the first season of “Dr. Romantic” in 2016. The “reset couple” swept the audience off their feet once again in “Dr. Romantic 3” (2023).
While the dating rumors surfaced from time to time, they gained traction following their appearance at the SBS Awards in December last year.
She stunned at the event in a sleek, backless cream dress with a deep neckline. However, it was Ahn Hyo Seop’s thoughtful gesture that truly stole the show. Noticing Sung Kyung seemed chilly or uncomfortable, the Canadian-Korean actor swiftly removed his suit jacket and graciously wrapped it over her shoulders.
To put the swirling rumors to rest, he took to Weverse in January to share that he does not have a girlfriend.
Her Ideal Type
Lee Sung Kyung shared what she looks for in a partner in an interview with Elle Korea in 2017. The actress reveals that she is very honest about expressing herself and does not hold grudges.

On the Work Front
