Acknowledge or "Unverifiable"... How to deal with the 'private life' issue of Lee Jang-woo, Yoon Park, and Park Seo-joon

Stars have different ways of coping with 'private life'. It is divided into the case of confidently admitting, the case of not admitting or denying, or not mentioning it at all. Actors Lee Jang-woo, Park Seo-joon, and Yoon Park each have their own ways to deal with privacy issues, drawing attention.

On the 22nd, the news of Lee Jang-woo's devotion was announced. That Jang-woo Lee is seriously in love with actress Hye-won Jo, who is 8 years younger than him. Lee Jang-woo's agency, Hunus Entertainment, said, "The two met through a work and were close senior-junior friends, but they developed into lovers and are continuing their beautiful relationship." Cho Hye-won's agency, S.W.M.P., was in the same position.

Lee Jang-woo coolly acknowledged his devotion to Jo Hye-won. As a result, the photos posted on Jo Hye-won's SNS were re-examined. Jo Hye-won watched the musical 'Crash Landing on You' starring Lee Jang-woo in November last year. In December, he posted a photo of visiting an udon shop run by Lee Jang-woo. Lee Jang-woo made it official that he had opened an udon shop through the channel of mukbang YouTuber Ziyang in January, but earlier than that, his girlfriend Jo Hye-won secretly showed off.

Yoon Park is set to marry Kim Soo-bin, a model 6 years younger than him, in September. On this afternoon, an online production presentation for JTBC's 'Smiling President' was held. Initially, the production presentation was scheduled to be held online, but it was suddenly changed to online streaming after pre-recording due to the filming schedule.

Yoon Park announced his marriage to Kim Soo-bin in a handwritten letter last month. Subsequently, Yoon Park's agency also made the marriage announcement official. Yoon Park said, "I promised to spend the rest of my life with my lover this fall." After the announcement of the marriage, Yoon Park participated in the production presentations of tvN's 'Beneficial Scam' and 'The Smiling President', both of which were pre-recorded. Since only questions chosen by the production team were given, I couldn't hear Yoon Park's comments about marriage.

If Lee Jang-woo proudly acknowledged his devotion, Park Seo-joon neither denied nor affirmed. On June 20, a media outlet reported that Park Seo-joon is in a relationship with YouTuber Seuss, who is 6 years younger than him and has 1.54 million subscribers. Park Seo-joon's agency, Awesome Ent, said, "It's difficult to confirm because it's the actor's private life. I'm sorry." Park Seo-joon was asked about the dating rumors at the production report of the movie 'Concrete Utopia' (director Uhm Tae-hwa) the next day.

Park Seo-joon said, "I found out very late because I was filming. The first thought I had was, 'I'm getting a lot of attention'. I'm very grateful for the interest." He explained, "However, in the case of me, I tend to feel a great burden in opening up my personal life, and since it is a personal matter, it seems difficult to say anything special."

The three stars' personal life-related responses are different. From Lee Jang-woo and Yoon-bak, who confidently revealed their love affair and admitted their marriage, to Park Seo-joon, there were also cases where they took the position of "unconfirmable". There is no right answer to how stars deal with privacy issues, but the public will judge these responses.
