Lee Min-ho and Park Min-young confirm they’re dating
by | August 22, 2011 | 582 Comments

javabeans: The City Hunter and Nana Bear?!! They’ve just confirmed it, via Park Min-young’s agency.

girlfriday: They’re DATING? In REAL LIFE?

javabeans: It’s like my fantasies have collided with real life and now I’m all confused where one starts and the other stops.

girlfriday: And that’s different from a regular day how? Maybe it’s a sign that we should just give into City Hunter being reality.

javabeans: I…am…so…conflicted. On one hand, there go my fleeting, albeit delusional, daydreams of kidnapping — er, winning over Lee Min-ho with my charms. On the other hand… it’s City Hunter and Nana Bear!

girlfriday: I’m simultaneously wailing and squeeing.

javabeans: So, the facts: They’ve known each other for years and even were in a drama together — 2007’s I Am Sam, although she was a lead and he was just a minor supporting character. But they reportedly developed feelings over the course of shooting City Hunter.

girlfriday: Because how could you NOT fall in love with Lee Min-ho in City Hunter??

javabeans: DUH, talk about foregone conclusion. The official story goes, they started seeing each other after the show wrapped — a cup of coffee here, a drink there — and that developed into full-blown romance. Now they’ve been a couple for a month.

girlfriday: I KNEW his googly eyes at her wearing nothing but his white shirt wasn’t just an act.

javabeans: This is every shipper’s, fanficcer’s, drama fanatic’s dream come true. Almost literally. I bet this soothes some wounded souls after the ambiguousish ending, yeah?

girlfriday: I still contend that ending is in no way ambiguous, but whatever.

javabeans: I agree with you on the ghost theory (as in, PIFFLE!) but the romance was left open, kind of.

girlfriday: Ah yes. Well I much prefer their real-life counterparts getting the happily ever after.

javabeans: Aww, I just want them to be together all giddy-like and happy forever and ever.

girlfriday: All goofy and adorkable.

javabeans: Also: City Hunter 2!! Please? Don’t you lovebirds want an excuse to shoot a whole twenty-episode series where making goggly eyes at each other and being adorable is part of the job description? And you get PAID to do it???

girlfriday: Romance Lee Min-ho on- and off-screen? Best. Job. Ever.

    Hey, come to think of it: They look alike.

    This is one of those times when you get pleasantly surprised that you got what you wished for…but also thinking at the back of your mind “It’s too easy. What gives?”

    LOL! Cant get over this…. :-)

    IMO, It’s just a very bad idea to date after the filming. It will ruin CH2 because the relationship will get really complicated if it didn’t work out. It may be my negativity, I can sense PMY may not be in CH2 because of this dating. Can anyone tell me, How many celebrities who dated after filming really end up NOT breaking up ?

    hmm, now LMH’s agency said they are just getting to know each other and not “dating” – per allkpop. it may be damage control on their part though.

    but if they’re dating or just getting to know each other, good for them! :) they are entitled to their personal happiness. tsk tsk.

        This is so confusing.

        I’ve decided [to accept] that they are dating, and I will hear nothing else of it. Any further confirmation or denials..nope, not listening. They are dating and that’s that.

      Will someone send the agency a dictionary that tells them the defination of dating?

      Oh and also…the only ones I believe besides the couple…if their personal managers come out on TV or Twitter and say something.

        Agreed. When it was one agency but not the other, I thought it was just P.R., but gawd are these agencies clumsy at damage control. Might as well just say he’s banging her like a screen door and have done with it!

    I was sad for a moment but now I am on board. Super glad that they announced it as well! Dating “in secret” never works out well for both parties and it is just more fun watching the drama knowing that they are loving in real life as well.~~

    OMG this is so out of the blue!!!

    i’m basically still in shock and speechless.

    Minho is owned already!! *wails*
    but when i think about the interviews that i’ve seen of him saying that he wanted to date but since he was busy he couldnt meet new people. most famous celebrities dated/married with the people they have worked with. so, since he wants to date, i’m happy for him now. and its my beloved City Hunter couple too!!

    but yeah, still cannot believe Min-hot is not single anymore. but i’m happy for him..

    anyway, looks like the media caught them dating. with photographs even. so i guess they asked the agencies for confirmation and this is how this news came out
