Actress Lim Ji-yeon (33) admitted to being in a romantic relationship with Lee Do-hyeon (28), who is ‘5 years younger than her.’ The two people who met on the Netflix series 'The Glory' became a real-life couple, completely opposite to the drama.
On April 1, Lim Ji-yeon's agency, Artist Company, said, "The two are close seniors and juniors, and are in the stage of carefully getting to know each other with good feelings. We would appreciate it if you could look at them with warm eyes." An official from Lee Do-hyun's agency, Yuehua Entertainment, also said, "The two are close seniors and juniors, and are getting to know each other carefully with goodwill."
Earlier on this day, Dispatch captured Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun's secret date. According to this, Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun's love continued through the 'The Glory' workshop. The two said that they did not show their love and created a mood with couple items. In particular, Lee Do-hyun said that he did not miss the 'The Glory' team dinner while filming the drama 'Bad Mom' and the movie 'Bad Mystery' (director Jang Jae-hyun) at the same time.
Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun appeared together in the Netflix series 'The Glory'. 'The Glory' is the story of a woman whose soul was broken by violence in her childhood, who risks her entire life to carefully prepare for a cruel revenge, and of those who fall into the vortex. In the play, Lee Do-hyun played the role of Joo Yeo-jeong, a plastic surgeon and assistant to Moon Dong-eun (played by Song Hye-kyo). Lim Ji-yeon played the role of Park Yeon-jin, a weather caster who delivered unforgettable pain to Moon Dong-eun.
In fact, the number of scenes between Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyeon in ‘The Glory’ can be counted on one hand. Even in 'The Glory' behind-the-scenes stills, they boasted of 'Sayak chemistry' to the point that there was only one photo of them together. Many people were sad that the chemistry between the two was only left in one photo. Of course, for those who are overly immersed in 'The Glory', the two people's real-life relationship may interfere with their immersion in the drama. Nevertheless, the chemistry between Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun was not hidden in the drama or in real life.
Lim Ji-yeon began her transformation into a villain through ‘The Glory’. He said that Park Yeon-jin was a character who was fearful and burdened, but whose greed was greater. Lim Ji-yeon, who debuted in 'Disaster Movie' in 2011, suffered from both large and small controversies over her acting skills. He said, “Throughout my 10 years of acting, I have always been desperate.”
Lim Ji-yeon impressed many people with her desperation through ‘The Glory.’ So much so that everyone shouts “Bravo Park Yeon-jin”. Lim Ji-yeon, who will bloom once again with 'The Glory', is scheduled to become a preliminary Gomsin. This is because Lee Do-hyun, born in 1994, who admitted to being in a romantic relationship, is scheduled to enlist in the military sometime this year. Lim Ji-yeon unintentionally becomes a reserve gomshin. In addition, Lim Ji-yeon signed a contract renewal with her current agency, Artist Company, marking a double milestone. As Lim Ji-yeon, the 'preliminary bear god', faces a double death, attention is focused on what she will do in the future.
