Actress Lee Si-young Clarifies TikTok Partner Misunderstanding Amidst Divorce Rumors

Actress Lee Si-young recently addressed rumors about her relationship with a TikTok partner, clarifying that they are not married.

On the 23rd, Lee Si-young appeared on the YouTube channel 'Jjanhanyoung Shin Dong-yup' alongside actors Jung Sang-hoon and Kim Da-som.

Lee Si-young made a notable entrance with her son, Jo Jung-yoon, at the studio. Host Shin Dong-yup humorously handed her son a 50,000 won bill, advising him not to let his mother take it, which brought laughter to the set.

Currently, Lee Si-young is an active TikToker with 17 million followers. Jung Sang-hoon commented, "I follow her every move on social media. Whenever I try to contact her, she's abroad filming 'Steal It~'. I feel like I'd be a bother, so I don't reach out."

When asked about her TikTok journey, Lee Si-young explained, "After being typecast in strong roles like prosecutors and police officers, I wanted to explore romantic comedies. TikTok allowed me to express love, romance, and comedy without embarrassment, and people loved it."

Her TikTok features numerous videos with a male partner, leading to rumors that he is her husband. Lee Si-young laughed off the speculation, saying, "People thought he was my husband. I recently divorced, and they assumed I divorced him."

She clarified that the man is a production company CEO and joked, "He's never been married but is now seen as a divorced man. He often receives sympathetic comments during meetings and has to be careful with his words."

She added, "He works with other celebrities too, but my channel's popularity seems to have fueled the rumors. People thought my channel ended after my divorce, so he's been stressed. I'm working harder on my content now." Shin Dong-yup quipped, "Viewers see you as a business couple, thinking 'they're pros'."

Lee Si-young married a restaurateur in 2017 and has a son. However, she divorced in March of this year.
