Splitsville: Lee Seo-jin dumps Kim Jung-eun
Say it ain’t so!
One of the most openly affectionate couples in the K-entertainment sphere, who were largely expected to announce wedding plans sometime soon (possibly even this year), has instead broken it off.
Kim Jung-eun and Lee Seo-jin started dating while filming the 2006 SBS drama Lovers, and had been going strong ever since. In the two years they had been dating, they were one of a few celebrity couples who were open about their relationship status (many others choose to be coy, denying rumors even when they’re obvious to the public), and were occasionally seen in public on dates together. Both stars were effusive in praise about the other, and Lee Seo-jin even appeared on Kim Jung-eun’s variety show (Chocolate) to serenade her with a love song, singing the same love theme that marked their characters’ romance in the drama Lovers. The two traveled to the U.S. together as recently as this summer, and shot a fashion spread together in New York in September.
So it’s a bit of a shock to hear from Kim Jung-eun’s own lips that the couple is no more. She admitted it in press interviews on November 22, saying she couldn’t keep lying to the public further — the split occurred at the end of October. It’s particularly surprising since the couple hadn’t given signs of much trouble or fighting leading up to this news.
Kim confessed that it was a one-sided decision; Lee initiated the breakup, which came as a shock to her. She fought tears as she conducted her interview, saying, “It felt like I’d been in an unexpected car accident” and “I felt like I’d been shot.”
She admits that it’s difficult dealing with the shock of the breakup, and had just begun work on her new series General Hospital 2 when Lee dumped her. The drama just began airing this Wednesday on MBC.
I’m sure there are two sides to every story (although I wonder if Lee will suffer more, since he already had a bit of a rep for cool breakups), but still: AWW.

Wow. This was a bit of a surprise! He always looked at her like she was the only person in the world.
That’s so sad! But I wonder what Lee Seo-jin’s side of the story is. They were a cute yet unusual couple. I loved the drama Lovers.
“The two traveled to the U.S. together as recently as this summer, and shot a fashion spread together in New York in September.”
Looking back, it’s likely that they were having problems during the Yi San shoot (which did run much longer than projected), and were trying to reconnect after the show wrapped up.
As you said, there’s two sides to the story and it’s their private life anyway. I hope the media/Netizens play nicer.
I’m sure he has another woman.
lol, when he began to date her, I knew this would be happened.
because he had dumped his past girlfriend for kim jung eun, lol
everytime he dates someone, he makes it like that person is the only person in the world, he praise her like a queen, always say he loves her so much,…etc
but BAM..he dumps her. sucks
hate him. lol
if LSJ dumped her, then that means 2 years is the longest relationship LSJ can have…no more than that. he also dumped LHR close to 2 years…
i hope KJE can move on. there is always 2 sides of the story and no wonder during the Come To Play guesting and press conference, she was not wearing any of the gifts LSJ gave to her..the earrings, necklace, bracelet and the watch.
i hope LSJ didn’t use KJE for him to recover his name in the industry. he once dated LHR who was on top of her world then…and now is at top of her world again…now he dumped KJE…is he planning to go back to LHR to boost his name again. i hope not. maybe if he dates someone with no name yet in the industry i would think he really loves that woman. but if he goes from one famous and with certain status in the industry to another, then LSJ is using these female celebs to boost his fame.
i feel bad for KJE as she really supported LSJ during his “LEE SAN” days and now that she is the one busy, LSJ dumped her…well she is a strong woman she can move on. there were good memories she can always reminisce.
@denise,
Yeaaahhhh I’ve read that too about Lee Seo-jin. He’s kinda like the Alex of K-drama.
@cattleya
you’re right
lol, his ex- who I was talking about it LHR.
from what I heard and read about his relationship with LHR
it’s exactly what you said that he used LHR’s name for his career or something.
because when he began to date her, whe was on top in the industry( don’t know when they began to date) I think sometime in 2005, but begin Februar 2006, when LHR’s second album came out, she had a problem with it, her album didn’t doing well at the time, it was a hard time for her, and the person who she need at that time was him, but where was he? he didn’t pick her phone up when she called him, he ignored her? why? don’t you think he was afraid of all her problems…too
in the end, he dumped her. sucks.
LHR was on yashimmanman past september and she told her love-story, she didn’t say his name, but i think it’s him, she said she has cried so much that time.
anw, after he dumped LHR, I swear I will never look at his face and will never forgive him.
There is always 2 sids the story…and it’s their personal lives.
Hope the media/netizens will leave them alone.
Hope both will move on positively , better to realise their incompatiblity now than after marriage.
High profile romance really never works.lol
Awww… I really liked them. Even though lovers was waay to dramatic for me, I really liked their chemistry…
I’M NOT SURPRISED. THEY ALWAYS APPEARED TO BE ACTING, TRYING TO PRETEND THEY WERE A MATCH-MADE-IN-HEAVEN ALL THE TIME AND TO ME THEY ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE GOING OVERBOARD WITH ALL THE AFFECTIONS. I KNEW THEY WEREN’T GONNA LAST LONG.
awwwww. really liked them..
aww, my mum loves her, because of Lovers in Paris…
aww….
its his lost….
kje is such a nice lady…
kje can handled it..she’s such a strong person
so this means lsj used kje for his own career
oh whatever!
still here to support jung eun unni
nooo….
wait lee soojin has a rep for having cool breakups?? with who?
Say it aint so !!! wow, I thought they were on their way to marriage and white picket fences.
she shouldn’t be so open about the breakup unless she wants him to have a bad rep
it’s celebrities lives. That’s how they are usually. I’m not surprised nor am I saddened. It’s like crossing a bridge…the feelings while walking seems fun together but afterward each to his/her own path.
Awww! Didnt like KJE before, but when she started dating LSJ, they were so sweet that I start liking her. Be strong KJE, maybe its a blessing in disguise.
ha… he’s not that handsome anyway… so forget about him…
revenge? why not… this guy used women after 2 years …. its like the expirary date is always 2 years before he find someone “new”… heeeee … cynical…
“(although I wonder if Lee will suffer more, since he already had a bit of a rep for cool breakups)”
Wait….who were his previous girlfriends/break ups? Were they high profile relationships too?
the singer Lee Hyo Ri was very popular when he started dating her, but when things were going bad on LHR’s career according to LHR’s fans, LSJ dumped her. it is like history repeats itself in KJE…when LSJ needed KJE for support and to help him promote his series “Lee San” KJE stayed by his side for 9 months even if their relationship just started and then dated once a week for 9 months…now that KJE is busy for GENERAL HOSPITAL 2, he dumped her…
well, maybe he simply wants space to think things over. and expect LSJ to not speak about his side, just like what he did after the break up with LHR. i wonder who would his next gf who is a HIGH PROFILE actress…SON YE JIN?
well maybe LSJ just did what HA KANG JAE(his character in LOVERS) to KJE…HKJ in LOVERS dumped his long time gf for someone and that someone is KJE’s character.
What the… ? That’s weird. Wasn’t LSJ the one who always initiated things about wedding and proposing to her?
“i wonder who would his next gf who is a HIGH PROFILE actress…SON YE JIN?”
Wah?!? SYJ has been attached to LSJ?
belleza, LSJ has not been attached to SYJ. what i was predicting is who will be his next gf who is a high profile actress…i can only think of SON YE JIN.
sorry, but i totally agree with you denise~ rawrrr
kje is too good for him anyways
….well it’s sad to hear that news but it’s better that they split now rather than after
they got married.Honestly speaking……on the first place I really don’t like LSJ for
KJE that’s why it’s just ok that things happen but of course I do respect the
feelings of KJE ‘coz it’s been a 2 year relationship and it’s really hard for her part
‘coz LSJ was the one who initiated the break-up.But I think in God’s time KJE will
move on and find the real man for her.Anyways it’s not her lost…..LSJ don’t deserve KJE ‘coz he’s not good looking anyway!
For you KJE,be strong and always keep on SMILING and SHINING!!!
Many loves you anyway and you have a lot of fans to support you and cheer you
up! Goodluck and more success to all your endeavors! Love you!!!!!!
I guess it’s just a sign of the times when people have to employ such “winner/loser” terminolgy liked “dumped” to describe the moving on or dissolution of people’s personal relationships. I don’t know either of these people from Adam, but it appears to me that thirty or so years of end zone-dancing, in-your-face, taking glee in your former partner’s and opponent’s misfortunes have numbed us, as a world-society to the feelings of others, It’s all about winning, I suppose. If my neighbor’s house burns and mine remains standing let us quickly get the marshmellows out and gather the kids so that we may celebrate his misfortune and our own ongoing merriment.
I know this much; What goes around comes around in this world. Be careful how you spend your friends, tomorrow’s sale may not be the bargain that it seems…
this is such a shock omg. i was so happy for them before.
hmm.. well.. since LSJ has that rep im not gonna touch it.. but i think this might be one of those jen and brad things. im sure there were reasons we dont know.. yet… its just one of those things that there will be teams and whatnots..
it couldnt have one side wanted to settle down, while the other didnt. or something like that. take one project or wait for one. the trip couldve cause bigger rifts or one huge decision that made them split sides. we couldve thought they looked all happy but we dont really know what happens inside..
plus i thought that whole marriage thing, the moms and everything caused some sorta of rift cause that took so much attention and stuff. sometimes i dont like saying the dumper or the dumpee cause it sucks im sure to be both sides when a lot of feelings are involved.. and all that negative stuff.. just IMO. sad about the LHR thing, lets just try to be fair for now?
KJE ur doing great on GH2 keep it up!
just to smile and keep ur chin up.
I could not believe this when i read the title! I thought their love was SO strong and we would see them getting married real soon :[
awww….they both seem to be handling it well. who knows, maybe they’ll get back together one day lol
awwww, i reallly liked this couple :/ they were like the korean version of brangelina =(
well, whatever reason it was , i hope both of them do well ….. even though i would realllyreallllyreallly like them back together
I don’t know why but I am not surprised. I had a feeling he’d leave her. I don’t know much about their relationship but I had read somewhere that when he first started chasing her she had been hesitant becoz of his ‘fast’ reputation. She turned out to be right after all.
She’s very brave to talk about it and admit that he left her. I hope he’s a gentleman about it and stays mum. Also I don’t want to condemn him. Who knows what really happened. I think any girl who goes into a relationship with him should do so with her eyes wide open. Some guys just take a long time to settle down.
Is he younger than her? He looks younger.
lkl, i also have the feeling that they will get back to each other again.
maybe, LSJ was simply needing more space to contemplate on matters, thus he initiated the break up…
this is sad. for some reason, i liked lee seo jin more knowing that he cherished someone like kim jung eun so it’s disappointing to know that the relationship is at its end…though it isn’t surprising (i know, i hate the cynic in me, too). it’s probably for the best so i hope kim jung eun will stay strong!
is 2 years the expiration date for attraction? i heard something like that so lee seo jin is definitely not a novelty. he’s just probably a typical guy who is honest about what he wants, falls in love hard, and then later doesn’t feel like forcing himself to stay by someone if he doesn’t feel the chemistry anymore. i doubt he’s using them to solidify his status (though the fact that they are successful women is part of the attraction).
man, where are those wonderful boyfriends/girlfriends who stick it through thick and thin for their loved ones no matter the circumstances or doubts? are they just a figment of people’s imaginations? i guess the more fair question would be, would i be that type of person for the one i loved despite doubts, loss of attraction, etc?
Totally did not see this one coming. Too bad, they were really cute together.
awwwwww… they were so cute together. And here i though LSJ was a decent man. damn those guy that dump girls heartlessly.(pardon me for the being hard on LSJ but hey i am a huge fan of them)
To be honest, I always thought LSJ deserved someone less plastic looking. He’s hot and doesn’t need a barbie doll partner.
OK, maybe he’s not hot in real life, but he sure looks good in the shows. Especially Damo (half naked torso), Shadowless Sword (naked torso again) and Yi San ( naked torso)
man.. this is truly a “say it ain’t so” moment.
Too bad for their break-up, I think they matched each other so well. And not to mention, they’re like one of my fav korean celeb couples.
I hope there really IS another side to the story. I read in KJE’s thread that Yedang announced that the break-up was due to LSJ’s mother? I’m not sure if it’s accurate tho, but maybe it could be due to parental pressure, that LSJ had to initiate the break-up? Don’t know..
Hopefully KJE can move on from that now..
She’s got General Hospital 2 to focus on.. she’ll live thru it I’m sure!
HWAITING~~
It must be 10000000x more difficult for her to deal with this break up because unlike her, we have some privacy and anonymity when we are dumped/break up with our partners. She’s already under private scrutiny, and now she has to try to put on a smile even though she is probably suffering on the inside.
Fighting, KJE!
oh my God im so shock i think may be LSJ wants to marry but KJE keeps postponing it? im just so shock
please reconcile i love you both
i am very hearbroken now oh im crying
Going back in each others arms for the 2nd time???? I don’t think soooo!!!!
No offensement,but it’s really impossible for a guy to go back to a relationship
wherein he already admitted it quits most especially when in the guy’s party who
initiated the so-called break-up.Maybe let’s just merely accept the fact that they
were really not meant for each other,as the saying goes “the earlier the better”.
Well it’s not the end of the world for KJE rather it’s just a beginning of a new and
happy life.
For you Ms. KJE,you deserve to be happy ‘coz you’re a nice,wonderful and
amazing person! Be strong and just focus on your acting and hosting career.
You will be truly blessed by God ‘coz you have a good and clean heart. I love you
and I will keep on supporting you till the end! I will pray for you always!
Stay happy and pretty!!!!! Just keep on SMILING and SHINING!!!!!!!
oh no, say it ain’t so…
how could a sweetie like KJE get dumped by a man-ho?
shame on you LSJ.. tsk tsk
there are two sides in a story let’s keep calm and hear each sides although this is too much for me. here in the Phil. my favorite Sam Anne broke up two weeks ago the guy also dumped the girl. I am now afraid to support another real life pair.
I BELIEVE THAT JUNG EUN REALLY REALLY POOR! HOW CAN LSJ DUMB HER LIKE THIS ! HOW CAN HE DO TO LOVELY WOMAN LIKE THIS…..:)
ABSOLUTELY THEY CAN SEPARATE BUT WITH GOOD MEMORY NOT LIKE THIS…LSJ SHOULD NEVER BE WELCOMED WITH US AGAIN. I DON’T WANT TO SUPPORT HIM ANYMORE….VERY VERY FAKE….HE ACTS LIKE HE WILL LOVE HER FOREVER….SHOULD NOT BE LIKE THIS….BAD GUY!
It is disapppointing that the breakup was not done amicably after reading all the news report.
Since it had been sensationalised, it is abt time LSJ needs to give his side of the story…otherwise, his career will take a dip in Korea.
On the hindside, he could had been more gentlemanly to hold back the breakup till GH2 had completed, and also breaking up over the phone seem very cowardly.
I don’t know. On one hand, I disliked LSJ for doing what he did to KJE. On othe other hand, I like that it happened now so she is not trapped in a relationship with a man that may have a problem maintaining a relationship, let alone marriage.
KJE seemed to project a girl-next-door image. No scandal, polite, pretty, good family, rich (they say). So I was actually surpised when she talked about the break up and seemed to have made it looked like LSJ is a real bad guy. Because I see her as a gentle person, I didn’t expect that from her. But then again, if LSJ did something to hurt her so bad, I like that she told the entire Korean citizen that he’s like that. Let it be known! There is no need to protect the image of this guy. Serves him right.
(And let him roam in the streets of Korea being hated by the crazy netizens?????)….. That is a joke…
Some of my anti-marriage friends say the classic red flag is when they date indefinitely without marriage plans. So on hindsight, the working trip to the US was a ” salvage” attempt?
I agree that this announcement blindsided me. They really looked marriage and white picket fences- bound
let us not blame LSJ because it takes two to make the relationship work
in his july interview he even had a message for kje:
“i love you more today than yesterday and will love you even more tomorrow”
the love may be is still there but there are a lot of things to consider other than love
example, the issue on marriage maybe the one is so keen to marry the other is not
the other is family issues we know lsj is close to kje’s family but we dont know if its true the other way around
lsj has been repentant that his father died in 2005 without them patching their differences he may have wanted to be obedient to his remaining parent- his mom now and in the process his lovelife suffered since his mom does not agree wiht his choice of gf
I don’t think LSJ needs a successful woman to boost his career. He can do fine by himself. You never know the real thing with these personal things. On one hand I was surprised he would fall for someone so “plastic”, but on the other hand not surprised, because KJE seems like a very nice, mature and kind person.
he dumped LHR for NO REASON,too
that’s why I hate him. he ignored her phone calls…etc.
by the time I thought he dumped LHR for KJE, because it was in 2006 and he was busy with his drama LOVERS.
so this time. who is the next high profile woman?? the president’s daughter???
What??????
I just watched Come 2 Play and KJE was so happy talking about their relationship. Ouch. =/
btw, I don’t understand why people say that he uses these successful woman to boost his career. He has no drama or film at the moment, whereas KJE has GH2 at the moment, so he should be sticking to her until he has something and she hasn’t no?
Does LSJ need to give the public a reason why he ended a personal relationship?
And even then, it takes 2 for a relationship. As soon as 1 party calls it quits for whatever or no reason, it is over, period. Just simple as that. Part of the rules of the game, I think.
@denise
You know, it’s a fact that neither of us knows these people. Perhaps their closest friends do and their families, but everyone else? All that you see is a facade.
So please, think about what you type. Just imagine you and your boyfriend being talked about like that, and people make all kind of wild assumptions about you…
So, let’s just live with the facts. They broke up, it happens (and even couples married for 50 years sometimes get divorced!)… they will both move on.
well.. if he is bad for her (either way), this breakup is good.. but if he is really a nice guy, she just gotta face it and move on. i think relationship always have bumps. only them know the truth.
LSJ’s mother do not like KJE for him and parental pressure made him do this
In his Oct 31 picture he seem lonely although smiling they split up Oct 29
We can only have one mother but girlfriends can be replaced a pity though coz i love the two of them together i has watched Lovers countless times
Just a sad fact in Korean society if the parents are disapproving and the society status is different
His family is super rich
Whoa. so many comments.
Sure, there are always two sides to every story, but with his record, I bet there’ll be many nasty comments in store for him. I hope I’m wrong. Still, they were cute together!
this is too shocking for me as they seemed to have been so sweet & in love! i saw one of the postings here & pls who is LHR?
it would be nice to hear LSJ’s side & what made him dump KJE! She’s still young & just move on, it could be a blessing in disguise! everything happens for a reason so KJE fightin!
NOOO!
T T that is so sad! They were so cute together!
Wow..their romance was highly publicised and they looked so good together. Look at ther related posts!!. KJE fans are fuming now..i feel so sorry for her ..i wonder why coz she seems like a wonderful sweet girl..How could he did this to her!!??
i think not only KJE fans are mad, even the fans of the couple who have been so into their love affair, then LSJ simply ended it like that.
and the bad thing is he is not going to give his statement why.
how i wish they amicably broke up at least KJE can move on not wondering why they broke up. she deserves to know his reasons why they broke up.
we cannot simply single out the fact that his mother is the reason. maybe that is the only excuse their acquaintances can think of. only LSJ knows why he ended the relationship. and that was why KJE fans are mad…
See I was going to watch Damo this weekend but the news spoiled my mood; should I continue to watch his drama? So pain to hear the respond from KJE that the breakup was like she herself in a shocking car accident. Glad that she has so many fans who could emphatise with her in times like this.
LSJ always gave off the player vibe to me, maybe its his dimples. KJE seems like a cool, smart lady, i wish her the best. besides she will be busy with her new drama, & she is going back to college, studying directing.
whoa! why?
they were such a nice couple!
i hope we get to hear the side of Lee since he was the one who ended this RELATIONSHIP..
and it’s very hard for KJE to film a new drama while just having a fresh break-up with him? if some bad reviews on KJE would release then it’s perfectly understandable!
Whoa, he’s ugly! And she looks weird but is pretty. He is hella ugly though,
hes probably moving on to a younger and hotter girl… isn’t that the trend these days for korean men? hahaha
well, this would affect LSJ negatively. It’s man’s nature to side with the underdog – in this case, KJE. publicity wise, I think this news would reflect positively on her and her new drama.
Lol, I thought this couple would head down to the altar in any days but that won’t happen any more.
In the days to come, it’s interesting to see how this unfolds in the media with all the she said/he said
how can this A-s-s-h-o-l-e dated such hot women (LHR and KJE). I mean he is not bad looking but, the truth is, he is not all that either.
I am disgusted by LSJ. I believe in karma, so I won’t say any further but that he will soon experience what he had caused to others.
I like them a lot too ..i was thinking its 100% sure they will marry. I feel for KJE…
just at her age….she needs to tell such details about how it came about. She old enough to know what to be revealed or not.
I think last BIg break up was Han Ji Hye & Lee Donngun….and they just both confirmed the break up…didnt release further details…kept things private private…
its takes two to make things work….one could be at major fault….but its not as if the other is totally perfect…
I dont like the way KJE talked about it…given her age. but I wish she can get past the hurts and move on and find the right guy for her.
as for LSJ……it doesnt make you less a man to think of your old mother first before anyone……just next time be sure not to break someone’s heart …hope you find a girl who’s your Mama’s dream girl for you.
can’t take it muchh….I remember the drama lovers he was dumped jacky for almost 4 years and that was a real life happened now…..
hope kje same as jacky she is……
i want this couples back…..
i want LSJ confront all this such idiots break-up…..
please be a men……you have to tell you’re side….
we need your explaination…..
as one of your avid fans we want it to know
there is one thing we don’t understand….
Well his not a good looking guy! It`s good that he dumped her now, than marry her and cheated on her and have a broken marriage. At least, KJE can still find a better man.
Anyone who knew LSJ’s family background knew that Lee Hyori was playtime – no way would his family approve/accept her as his wife. And frankly, neither would he in the end. Although KJE is another matter altogether, she unfortunately is also in show business and for some reason, I can’t see him marrying an actress – unless she retires.
Evidently, no matter who initiated the break-up, the guy is supposed to remain quiet (seen as more gentlemanly) while the girl is generally free to talk about it. I think that’s why he hasn’t released a statement and really, what can he say? The more I thought about it, the less sure I was that I wanted to marry her? In Korea??? Yeah, right.
Personally, although I liked Lovers in Paris, for the most part, I don’t care for her much. I’m sure that she’s a good person but something about her bubbly persona makes me think that there’s a lot of neuroses underneath. And I’ll admit it – I can’t stand to look at her face because she’s had so much plastic surgery. God only knows what her kids will look like!
am still mad because its so unfair for Kim jung Eun to be treated that way coz she’s a great person who deserves to be treated with respect… how ungentleman of him to just end it over a call and the fact that he didnt even make it clear to her whats the main catch for him to break up with her… and another thing according to one site i had read before that LSJ’s mom and KJE’s aunt were bestfriends… so am so confused why would his mother be the reason?!?
he’s such a PETTIFOGGER!!!!
i hope well for Ms. Kim Jung Eun… and i would like to thank her for spilling the truth to the fans for us not to wait or hope for something that is already gone or had been ended, lets just hope that she can find the happiness she really deserves and that someone who will love her trully in her whole lifetime and not someone like LSJ….
AJAH KJE!!! as your avid fan just like the many others… im just here praying for you… goodluck on your new drama series GH2…
xoxo
is there anything bad about plastic surgery??? because even if a person undergone a surgery whether just to make their image better or for some medical reason… as far as i can see theres nothing wrong if she had surgery just to change something within her as long as it has good results as we can see really great results…
its already the 21st century… its not like she had committed a mortal sin because she had change what God has given her… come to think of it why would HE let man disccover science and other things that has something to do with it…
she’s not the only one who had change something just to look better… most of us want to improve ourselves in all ways as possible….
so please dont just say bad things about her just because she had gone over a plastic surgery…
i totally agree that it takes two people to have a good relationship but come to think he is the one who initiated it and whats worse is he didnt even do it formally…
try to be in her shoes your BF suddenly breaks up with you over the phone with no reason for you to think of, asking yourself what went wrong?, is something wrong with you? because you had no fights/misunderstanding whatsoever… its easier for her to move on if she knew whats the reason for him to end their relationship so that from there she can have a good start amd most importantly he should have talk to her about the breaking up in person to be formal… as a woman i see where KJE is coming…
the nursing of hearts will atleast be lighter if the person knows the real score….
no offense to LSJ fans… peace out….
lsj’s not a player, he seems more like a wimpy momma’s boy. if his mother was the main reason behind his decision, he needs to man up and (ahem) grow some. he’s in his mid-30s. he went public with his relationship. he broadcasted his “undying love” for kje alll over the place. the least he can do is break up with kje IN PERSON! he needs to show at least some responsibility over his actions. what a slap in the face for kje- it’s like the time when berger broke up with carrie over the post-it on SATC…but i digress…
kje can do so much better. she’s a well-respected actress and she’s loved by many people.
oh and about her plastic surgery….i snort. EVERY korean actress gets plastic surgery. who gives a poo.
even If they are not meant to be, I would like them to be friends though just for the sake of the good times .. two years is two years and for most of the times, it was a beautiful and loving two year period for both of them.
we cant quarrel because of them since its their own personal lives we can only have regrets for the beautiful things that had to end.
What I don’t understand is how LSJ still continues to manage to get a lot of high profile actresses. It seems like he’s always one dumping the women and he always seems to leave his ex-lovers feeling devastated… Well Good for KJE in the long run. I hope she recovers soon from the heart break.
@ anonymous
that is what I always have been wondering. When a man marries a woman who had a lot fixed or the other way around. What will they do with the kids? Get them fixed as well.? Or keep confirming : yes, these are our natural kids. And the kids: yes, they are really my mum and dad. Pretty, isn’t she/he? And then the other party will think: God has a funny way of working.
@ anonymous
atleast scince can fix the physical still it has solution unlike his F.cki.. mind and hopeless attitude that can never be fix……..
@ anonymous
atleast science can fix the physical still it has solution unlike his F.cki.. mind and hopeless attitude that can never be fix…..
I am very sad because I love the couple so much
I believe the issue about LSJ’s mom
It is a big deal in Korea that parents must approve
sounds like in their dramas but yeah quite true
It is part of their culture
aww no. -shocked- nonono! T.T -speechless-
seriously love the couple so much! ah no.
kje, all the best! good luck in the future (:
-sighs-
this makes me wonder though…LSJ could already sense that his mother doesn’t favor KJE, why did he not help KJE for his mother to approve of her. he should be protecting KJE in the first place. he knows his mother well. and if unnnecessary spending of money makes his mom angry, he should have not let KJE shop, or if ever KJE wanted to shop he should have not offered paying for them. he is not compelled to pay. KJE has her earnings too, bet she brought her credit cards with her. he filmed “Lee San” for 9 months and he was receiving $25,000 per episode that is $50,000 per week…where did all his earnings go that he had to use his mother’s credit card? he was trying to be gentleman infront of his lady love, yet when that causes trouble to his mom, he could not even fight for her. unless he deliberately did that so conflicts would start and he could leave her for him to have a valid reason why he is leaving her. well just a thought as i hypothesized earlier that his relationship seems to have expiration date…no more than 2 years or not even 2 years.
Where are people getting the impression that LSJ’s mother was the problem? As someone already pointed out, his mother and KJE’s aunt are great friends so if family is somehow involved, then it must be something pretty serious. However, I totally agree that he sucked by breaking up over the phone and not in person. That’s just not done, especially when this relationship was expected to end in marriage. Not a smart move as a person and for PR reasons. Should be interesting to see the next relationship for each of them.
WAO, so sad! T.T
according to someone close to LSJ it was not the many gifts LSJ bought for KJE while they were in NY that made him initiate the break up. it was something between the two families having known really well that conflicts arouse between them.
oh well! LSJ must face the media once he come back to Korea after his 1.5 months of seclusion in HK. he has to clean this mess he created. KJE is being pestered by the press and the media are not going to stop until they have answer to this shocking break up.
that someone also stated that LSJ left for HK early Nov after breaking up with KJE to clear his mind. that we must help the ex-couple to have a continued good relationship(maybe as friends).
i hope he will eventually face KJE and talk to her so they can formally end this and not end in bad terms where KJE is harboring hatred to him.
i hope we could hear lee seojin’s side.his reason why did he do that stupid thing dumping her.we all know how much he love kje,he’s very vocal about it right.i’m sad that this happen.i thought they were already preparing for the wedding.LSJ,speak up,please….i cant help reading those comments putting all hte blame on you.i know u have reasons,pls. defend urself.it’s hurting me when they blame u.i know u are hurt,well i’m hurting much more……
Im really sad i really love this couple. LSJ please speak up! are you a man?..
I know KJE can make it be happy were all here for you no matter what. Will always pray for you.
guy’s,lets hope and pray that they would be back in each others arms.lets hope that kje could still forgive lsj for what he have done to her.they just broke up thru phone right?maybe lsj ssi doesnt have the courage to tell her that personally,to end their relationship coz he’s not sure yet if thats what he wants to do.he should not to be blamed also.we must know his side of story.he’s in hongkong ryt now,maybe to clear up his mind…i hope. lets hope for the better guys….to LSJ,speak up man…whatever your reason is,speak up…..
ya I agree ruizhen_derraj
I always pray for both of them because I know that their is something burden happened for LSj maybe he also try to speak it out perhaps not now … hope their relationship back.
to all fans of lsj and kje we must unite and prayed for their relationship back .
we all know their breakup is not formally……i should think they fix it all as soon as possible.
i dont know what im say…because i really shock..i hope they relationship back. 2 kje ur a strong person. i know god loves u..we will always pray for u because i love u..
to kje fans,dont be harsh on lsj. lets wait for his statement?he’ll be back by december,maybe,thats the time that we could know the truth behind the breakup.kje fans said that he has a reputation of dumping girls,guys,why should he dump kje for no reason?he’s very vocal about his plans to marry kje?
to kje,hers a song for u from lsj ssi….
Ee Byul – Lee Seo Jin : (FAREWELL)
to me there is one person whom i loved deeply
it’s time for me to let this person go though we were so much in love
but i know it’s not the same now
the only person who cured my sadness
the same person who made me cry so much
do you know that this person is you?
because you were there i was happy
do you know that though i gave you everything i was not looking for a price in return
the closer i get to you the farther you become
though i realized this little by little i could not give up
but now i finally understand
love is not done alone.. if i am not allowed to say a word to you
instead of love i would rather choose farewell.. a farewell to you
do you know that though i gave you everything i was not looking for a price in return
the closer i get to you the farther you become
though i realized this little by little i could not give up
but now i can’t be near you again
because i know you threw me away
i must throw away every trace of it for the new love
since i learned enough from you
yes i think i now understand
love is not done alone.. if i am not allowed to say a word to you
instead of love i would rather choose farewell.. a farewell to you
is this how should i end it?
Hi ruizhen_derraj thanks your right maybe thers this reason behind this. LSJ please defend yourself . I know you really love KJE so much and vice versa and i know Love is sweeter than second time around. We your fans are all here for you. We love you both.
Ohhh…that is such an undeserved blow. Breaking up is so hurtful moreso if you’re the receiving end. Be brave and smile KJE – the pain seems unbearable for now but it will come to pass…fate has a better plan for you. You’re a survivor, beautiful inside and out …it’s his loss not yours. You have your family, friends and fans who love you and will always be there for you.

hope LSJ could read this.
LSJ,i hope you clear your mind while staying there in hong kong.you must realized that what you have done is wrong.yes.you might have your reasons but i hope when your back in korea,you and kje settle your indifferences.i know you loved kje.she love’s you too.i know your hurt,me too,i’m hurt too.be strong man.clear up your mind,ask yourself if this is what you really want.you deserve to be happy.if you’re happy,i’m much happier.dont worry,i’ll always be here for you.the world may turn it’s back on you,but i’ll remain supporting you.you will always be the one i would root for,i will always be a loyal fan of yours.
I never really had a true role model in this insane life. Life can be really difficult at times. It really sucks. Many times I wonder why things have to be the way they have to be. But when I think of you, I’m willing to hang on to whatever I have to hang on to. So many things have been shattered. But the light that you shine is one thing that has not shattered. Even if they say negative comments about you, I always see the positive light in you. You are extremely talented and have a lot to offer in this world. No one seems to understand me in this world,i think it’s the same with you.well we cant please everybody. I feel like my beliefs have been shattered when i read those negative comments.they are so harsh on you. But when I think of you, I believe in my magic stars again.Thank you for being you. Thank you for being just the way you are.i love you & God Bless You, Lee Seo Jin (oppa).be strong man.hope to hear from you soon.
I’m not shocked after i heard this news, i know Lsj wouldn’t end up with Kje. On my own view. Kje don’t deserved like this kind of split up but much better they end up. I know Kje could find much better of lsj.
i was really dissapointed of the happening. our heart goes with KJE. hope they will reconcile.
we will support KJE. our respect remains. in this trials in life, hope she can surpass.
We will support KJE. in this moment of trials, she can surpass. hoping for her success always.
to KJE
I know your a strong person..You’re a beutiful inside and out..
You deserve to be happy..I know you can find someone who will love you trully and not someone LSJ.
You have you’re family;fan,friends who love u..will always be there for you.
Move on.AJA”’
MAY god gives u relief for all you’re pain feeling.i will always pray for u everyday.
Dont be sad..God planning u much better..
To LSJ
Hope u will ok and happy you’re vacation..even though some one cry because of u..I BELIEVE IN KARMA..
Wishing both LJS and KJE happiness.
Hi Lee Seo Jin
Seeing you and KJE in lover drama, then in real world as lover, given me a hope that there is really a real love in the world. BUT now this fairy tale is destroyed…
Really disappointed. Hope you have done a deep thinking and ensure a wise decision is made with no regrets
Hi Kim Jung-eun
Be strong and stay positive. Since the heart has changed, let it go and just treasure the happy monent that you had previously. We supports you with lots of love
Good luck
[...] 3. Kim Jeong-eun conducted a tearful interview with the Sports Dong-A on her breakup with Lee Seo-jin. Dramabeans has more on their relationship and its end. [...]
LSJ will pay a high price to what he did to this innocent, kind-hearted KJE. Wait for your day, you punk. You deceive people you are a generous and a good, loving boyfriend. You were even awarded with awards meant only for deserving philanthropist. You are making a fool of KJE and the people. Your dishonesty and idiotic acts will put you to hell. Remember that. People and God’s wrath will be on you forever.
LSJ is ruining his career and his dignity. LSJ is downgrading himself from being human. If he did this to some prostitutes, dumping whores or prostitues or easy women, that is fine. But he’s dumping a kind-hearted, respectable and generous woman. So, he’s an animal now. A pig or a monkey. He looks like a monkey, anyway.
To my fellow admirers of KJE,
Lee Seo Jin will have his karma. He is a fake person and he will receive what he deserves. He uses women and dumps them once they are so in love with his manliness.
LSJ is a criminal . If he is not, he must be gay !
HE WILL ROT IN HELL!
Dear postmaster,
Please kindly delete message s108 to 110 urgently. I think both actors don’t deserve such comment.
sometimes we think those celebrities are perfect but they aren’t so. there is always a reason for everything and their breaking up has one. their drama (lovers) saved my marriage and i am so grateful of the relationship they portrayed. it made me more understanding and loving to my significant other. we hope that they will get over their hurt feelings.
If LSJ had planned to break up with KJE, why did he even bother to show up at Chocolate and serenaded KJE w/”Confession”? What a JERK.
I hope his career is cut short because of this. Female fans are sick to their stomach knowing that he is a mom mom’s boy, ending realtionship through a text message without an explaination, and worst of all at time KJE accepted a role in GH2 (instead of congratulate her). Then, he hid away in HK till mid-December while KJE has to face the public to film GH2 and Chocolate.
I would truely hope he will change his mind and get back to KJE because I know he is still in love with KJE. We should all drop LSJ email at http://www.seojinlee.com to encourage him to stand up to his mom if there is still love left for KJE, and asking him to quit hiding.
If his mother is truely the reason he should send her away to his older brother/sister or retirment home. A right woman only comes once in a life time.
I don’t understand how could a 35 years-old man educated in US let his mother runs his love life, since he will be the one sleeping with KJE, the woman he loves, not his mother. Unless he is just using his mother as an excuse. That would make him look even more pathetic.
TO KJE hope u read this
Ms Kim Jung Eun i know you’re a strong person.
You’re a clean heart and beautiful inside and out.You’re a popular and respected actress in you’re generation.If some people try to drag you down..You need fight you’re self..

You have you’re loving family,friends and of course youre fans.

Hope you will come here in the philippines soon..

I will pray for you all the time..We support you everytime you need..WE LOVE YOU..
AJA……
I really feel for KJE. I am in a situation just like KJE. I have been dating a Korean doctor. During a recent trip to Vegas, he purchased a LV purse for me as a gift. When his mother found out, she yelled and slapped me. She claimed I was gold digger, and I was only interested in his money. I really didn’t care for the LV, but I am not stupid enough to reject the gift he insisted on buying. I really love this guy. He is kind, smart and understanding. He looks like the singer, Alex. He is strong, but when it comes to his mother, he is jello. I really love him, but I hate his family. Should I keep him or dump him?
What are all these comments I read:
“Lee Seo Jin used his girlfriends’ names for his career??”
Are you EXPECTING people to BELIEVE that?
Come on, do you actually follows his career path? He doesn’t need his girlfriend to make him popular. He can do it by himself.
All his previous successful dramas; Damo, Phoenix, Lovers, Yi San are his own efforts. Not because of Kim Jung Eun or Lee Hyo Ri. Not because he date them that his dramas received high ratings.
He won two of his ‘Best Actor’ awards also because of his efforts. Not because of his girlfriends.
He is extremely succesful and rich, why he needs to use his girlfriends’ names? I just don’t understand it. -_-;; Where are all these ideas come from??
Yeah, he was wrong in this case, but he must has a reason for that break-up. Kim Jung Eun wouldn’t cry a river if he is a jerk. Come on, if he is a JERK, she will be SO HAPPY to break up with him..
Glad to see some sensible comments! lord_jedi
Lee Seo Jin and Kim Jung Eun, don’t worry, be happy!
if he is not using these celebrities with BIG NAMES, how come he never dated someone who is not even known…
well of course if he dates someone with A NAME in the industry, that will make him more popular. his series were watched because of the storyline, not because he was in it. aside also from the fact that his co-stars helped in the success of the series and not him alone. in Lee San he himself admitted he did not become popular in the drama rather the other casts became more popular. imagine after the series, his management company were expecting 700 people would attend his fan meeting and only 200 came. they almost cancelled the fan meeting.
his acting awards were ONLY GIVEN by the station…that is like CONSOLATION PRIZE for the hardwork all the actors gave for every series that they appeared in. but with Lee San’s popularity, did he WIN the POPULARITY AWARD or BEST ACTOR AWARD from BAEK SANG? or the SEOUL DRAMA AWARD or the other TV Dramas award by which other series of other stations compete? he has not WON ANY of those…his awards were all from MBC…his SBS Award was even redundant POPULARITY AWARD…that was another consolation prize…
people are always stressing he is RICH..yeah he is RICH and he thinks he can just hurt women like that. whether he has valid reasons, he must learn to face the woman he was dating to end the relationship and not how he broke up with Lee Hyo Ri or with KJE…just because he is RICH, he already has the right to hurt a woman like that?
and for the record…i don’t think he will ever have a HIT MOVIE…LSJ is only GOOD FOR TV DRAMAS…thus limiting his ability really as A FULL FLEDGED ACTOR.
LSJ was then very open of his love and respect to KJE. It intrigues everybody how he can be so rude in dumping KJE. It was a not-so-nice way of breaking up, the way he did. But wait, everybody’s saying the issue was not on a third party but family. And fixing the issue then, may be, was too hard for him. Since, this is the way he walked out from relationships before, and so he thought he can do it same way with KJE. Poor KJE, she must thought LSJ never can do this to her.
Well and well, I’m mad at what he did, whoever would not. But, still I pray for him coz he’s under the spell of a family who is, for heaven’s sake, the only one happy of this break up. This break up hurts the two people involve, LSJ and KJE, Kje’s family and friends, and KJE and LSJ’s friends and fans.
Can you imagine, only one person is happy, and hundreds or thousands are unhappy? I pray that that one person happy today of the break up can have a more loving and forgiving heart, and be more understanding.
a comment in Soompi:-
LSJ doesn’t use KJE for popularity. why would he? he can be successful by himself. his previous successful dramas show that.
he proved himself in damo. that drama was very successful and craved a career path for him. later, phoenix got very high ratings too. he then act in the a big budget movie; shadowless sword as a lead. freeze already gathered much publicity before it’s screening. i would not consider lovers as his successful work since the ratings for that show only high towards the end of the drama. Then, yisan come along. the rest is history since you guys know how successful the drama was.
all this is done by his hardworks. not because he has a popular girlfriend.
korean entertainment industry doesn’t work that way. just because your gf is popular doesn’t mean you will be popular too.
do you think all the outstanding and excellence awards that he won because the judges think because his gf is popular, they give it to him?
do you think the ratings of his previous drama will be high because his gf is popular?
do you think he got offers for dramas because his gf is popular?
if Korean entertainment is that shallow, then painter of the wind show result in high ratings considering PSY and MGY is in that drama.
LSJ is pretty much establish himself before he dated her. so, to say that KJE is much more stable or etc than him is just ignorant. he is very rich, educated and doesn’t need anyone to boost his popularity.
plus, those words can only hurt KJE more. what would she feels when her fans said that her ex only using her? what she thought is love for two years is only a lie.
sure, the guy is very wrong. but to question his hardworks for all those years are just PLAIN WRONG.
cool song i love it
