Actors Bae Suzy and Lee Dong-wook call it quits after announcing relationship in March
Just months after going public with their relationship, Korean actor Lee Dong-wook and singer-turned actress Suzy have ended their relationship. The couple announced their split after about four months of publicly acknowledging their relationship. According to the Korean Herald, the agents of the respective stars have confirmed the split and said that it was due to their busy work schedules.
The two had started dating soon after falling in love when they met at an official event. Lee is 37 and Suzy is 24. They were first spotted having a great time at Cheongdam district in a series of dates in 2012, well ahead of their public acknowledgment. According to Allkpop, King Kong by Starship confirmed, "It's true they recently broke up. They will remain good sunbae-hoobae." JYP Entertainment also confirmed the breakup.
Bae Suzy, who was previously in a two-year relationship with actor Lee Min Ho had confirmed her relationship with 'Goblin' actor Lee Dong-wook in March earlier this year. The two decided to part for personal reasons and claimed that they remained friends after the breakup. She then started dating Lee Dong-wook.
Dong-wook's reps had said, "They met at a private, casual gathering. They recently started to get to know each other with good intentions and have feelings for each other. Because it’s still the beginning and we just learned about it, there’s not much we can say about them dating or being a couple." JYP Entertainment, Suzy's long-time agency also confirmed that the two were dating at the time. Their statement read, "They are currently in the process of getting to know each other."
