@Zafiro -- yes, the name is quite common. The article was about the singer Lee Dong Wook, not the actor, but if you clicked on that link, you already know that.

They weren't from reputable sites -- two different TikTok posts. Yes, the actress from Running Man. They have been friends for a very long time (they were in a drama together many years ago). But I agree with you, I've never gotten anything more than the "friend" vibe from the two of them. It will be interesting to see if the date (December 10th) turns out to be true, though! (Fingers crossed!)

I just Googled "Lee Dong Wook" for fun and then chose the pop up that said "wife." VERY INTERESTING that several links came up that said LDW is getting married to SONG JI HYO (from Running Map) on December 10, 2024 in Seoul, however, the one picture that was shown showed the ending scene from TYH where he's in a tux with Inna in the peach/pink dress. I find this interesting, because I've Googled this before and I don't ever recall SJH coming up before. It's so random. There was one link that did say LDW and YIN were getting married at the end of the year (2024). [Yay!] Most of the articles that come up STILL link him with Suzy. So aggravating! I'm in America, specifically, California. Does the search yield the same results in different countries? Just curious.

@YouwinJH I don't follow MONSTA-X and I'm not a fan, but the character's name is BAETONGYI and it's supposed to be SHONWU? (I'm guessing, since I don't read much Korean).

@YouwinJH so I think I was getting a bit delulu and read too much into the IG stories. Apparently, the cute little stuffed animals are MONSTA-X's line of stuffed animals based on each member of the band. The animals are called MONMUNGCHI. Must be a collab between WookDongLee and them (MONSTA is with Starship). LDW said in one of his WookDong videos or posts that WookDongLee is HIM. He's the lion (not YIN). But I 100% agree with you that if he was in a relationship with ANYONE ELSE, that woman would be so PISSED with all the "Peach" related posts on WookDongLee_official. A peach farm? Really? Of everything that's out there in the world?

@YouwinJH That wasn't the photo. It is the one WookDong with the hedgehog, not a frog (but now that a frog is included in the collectino, ALSO very suspect. Why no fox? Hmm?) I am very bad about being able to insert links or posts from YouTube or IG. BUt if you go to the WookDongLee_Official IG page -- you'lll see a photo of him with the Hedgehog, but in the post picture, this time the hedgehog is in a chick/duck costume, so it's very hard to tell what is underneath. Sorry that my re-posting skills are not good!

I have always said that in every rag story, there is always a glimmer of truth. This video definitely gives me hope and I, too, have noticed some chatter about them on IG which made me wonder—why now after so long? Since I WAS a BinJin shipper, and followed that couple very strongly—I feel that I can comment that they definitely started dating right after they filmed the movie together and they took on CLOY so that they could date openly while filming. Their press release later that they broke up briefly after filming to see if they really were compatible was total BS. There’s lots of evidence from very observant fans to show they were always together. When THEY were ready, I feel like their agencies allowed Dispatch to “break” the story of their dating. So—who knows if now, if the wedding is really happening this year, whether or not this “leak” is really a leak or just a way to “rip off the bandaid” and deal with fans reactions. With BinJin, when the rumors first started about their relationship (before CLOY) there was so much hate from HB’s fans against SYJ, they had no choice but to deny, deny, deny—for her safety. I do feel many parallels with our Pichi couple and BinJin. LDW also has a lot of very possessive and crazy fans. I think he hadn’t, they would have tied the knot a long time ago. But they are getting older—his comment at his fan meeting about getting married someday was a total hint to his fans. And before the BinJin story broke in SK, they did a joint commercial in the Philippines. So I’m thinking that country has people in the “know,” if you know what I mean. Did anyone else see the WookDong IG post with his “friends” and the peach farm scenes? I swear the very first post (on his story) was a pic of the lion and a hedgehog. And we all know that in TYH YIN said he was like a hedgehog. I felt that was a total hint. (But maybe it wasn’t a hedgehog— which is why I’m asking if anyone else saw it—for validation.) Happy days are coming, I truly feel it!

You guys are too much! I’m traveling with friends right now and I’m being so rude reading all your posts! I have to find a half hour to myself when I can read all this and really pay attention to what I am reading. Thank you for all your insightfulness! Especially @YouwinJH and @Almondcroissant (as always). So much fun reading all your posts!

@YouwinJHI am so tempted to join Twitter/X right now just so that I can see that photo! Love all your observations - they are very spot on (IMHO). I don't think they are split, that post with the Lion and Peaches was too recent. I agree with you that he is very concerned about his fans and if it weren't for them, he'd be married already. I, too, thought he looked a bit envious when Seho announced his marriage. Koreans are so different than us Americans -- we have long engagements, but they are like "I'm getting married" -- next week (or tomorrow/next month). A lot of times, you don't even know they're getting married until after the ceremony!

Just cause we're posting videos -- old and new I'll put this one up -- one of my favorites. It shows how this couple was just "meant to be." ❤️

I am also sad that @YouwinJH won't be with us for six months! I've missed the discussion on this board and everyone's insights. It's been so fun for the last few days reading all the commentary. I definitely agree with a lot of your observations. You are very insightful, for sure (almost as good as our @Almondcroissant who is our resident mastermind on this post!), especially since you haven't been on this ship for as long as some of us have. Enjoy your hiatus (it's already the 1st, so you're not even reading this) and I seriously hope there will be some nice tidbits for the rest of us to enjoy in those six months! I, for sure, will be re-watching a lot of old tape and now the TYH is back on RakuViki, re-watching that show, too! (I've always felt, from the first time that I watched that show) that like King the Land, much of the script was ad-libbed by the actors and that YIN and LDW were simply "acting" out their personal lives. It wasn't really acting so much as being themselves, giving everyone a glimpse into things that they face as a couple.

@YouwinJH you say you are not a shipper, but I think you are! Frankly, of late, there have been a handful of things that just makes me think he's trying to give us all major hints so that when he makes his announcement, people won't be so shocked. But I'm one of those delusional people. . . As for Pinggyego (Yoo Jae Suk's show on YouTube) -- I wouldn't read too much into his behavior in that video -- if you've watched all of them (I think he's appeared in five of them now), he's always a bit low key subdued. I think that because he's with his true friends (Se ho and Chang-Hee) you're seeing more of his true self -- he doesn't feel the pressure to be so funny. He's often said that he's pretty boring in his real life. Anyway -- I saw this post on Insta a few weeks ago and I was like "are they not even trying to hide it anymore?" Anyone else see it? I'm going to paste it, but I never know if these work or not. . . 욱동이 WOOKDONG (@wookdonglee_official) • Instagram photos and videos
