2018 is going to be a big year for South Korean actress and singer, Lee Joo-Yeon. If the rumours are true, Joo-Yeon is currently dating one of K-pop’s biggest stars, G-Dragon and that means the Korean media cannot get enough of her.
The couple was said to have started dating some time in November of 2017 and have already taken several holidays together. Most recently, the couple were spotted posting similar photos of their trips to Hawaii and Jeju on social media, leaving eager fans to speculate even more.
Fans were first suspicious of their relationship when G-Dragon posted this video of the two on his Kwai account:
So, who exactly is Lee Joo-Yeon? Find out more below.
Joo-Yeon first entered the Korean entertainment industry when she debuted with her Korean pop group, After School in 2009.
After two years of being with the group, Joo-Yeon progressed and became the the leader of A.S. Blue, After School’s sub-unit group.
In 2014, Joo-Yeon’s contract with Pledis Entertainment, After School’s management company, ended and she subsequently left the group.
Ardent fans of Korean dramas will know that Joo-Yeon has starred in several shows such as Smile Again and was also in a variety show called Invincible Youth.
Before debuting as a singer in After School, Joo-Yeon was already a rising Internet star. As a teenager, Joo-Yeon would often post beautiful selfies of herself, earning herself the title of ulzzang or “best face” in Korean.
Joo-Yeon was raved about her having beautiful round eyes and the much desired v-shaped face that Koreans love.
Before her relationship with G-Dragon came to light, Joo-Yeon was linked to actor So Ji Sub in 2014. The couple had a 10 year age difference between them.
Despite having an Instagram account, Joo-Yeon is notoriously private and usually only posts photos of herself for advertisement campaigns, selfies or magazine spreads.
Sadly, despite trying to keep their relationship with G-Dragon under wraps, vicious fans have still found ways to attack her online with comments that flood her Instagram photos.
