Recently, a series of photos allegedly showing Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun wearing matching rings suddenly surfaced on social media, sparking rumors of a romantic relationship between the iconic couple from the classic drama “Boys Over Flowers.” The speculation began to gain traction after a TikTok account of a fervent fan of the couple shared the images, although no reputable Korean news outlet has reported or substantiated these claims.
The speculation centers around a peculiar detail – Lee Min Ho was seen wearing a distinctive ring during a press event in Thailand on August 5, 2023. This was then compared to an old image of Goo Hye Sun also wearing a similar ring. However, it’s worth noting that this supposed evidence lacks persuasive weight, as the ring in question is a popular jewelry item among numerous South Korean celebrities. Additionally, the lack of recent interactions between Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun further weakens the foundation of these rumors.
This isn’t the first time that Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun have been entangled in romantic rumors. As on-screen lovers in the hit drama “Boys Over Flowers,” these two stars have naturally become a focal point for devoted fans.
Back in 2015, Goo Hye Sun made a cryptic revelation on the KBS 2TV show “Happy Together,” hinting at a past romance with a male celebrity: “I secretly dated a male celebrity in the past. I’m the kind of girlfriend who would do anything for her boyfriend, so I wasn’t concerned about my relationship being public. However, my ex-boyfriend wanted to protect himself. I used to doubt whether his feelings for me were less than what I thought. That also made me think he prioritized his career more. I believe couples often break up in cases like this.”
Many speculate that the person Goo Hye Sun referred to was indeed Lee Min Ho, yet these assumptions remain speculative. Neither artist has ever addressed the rumors directly, and both have experienced their fair share of publicized relationships. Lee Min Ho has openly admitted to dating Suzy and Park Min Young, while Goo Hye Sun had a tumultuous marriage and divorce with Ahn Jae Hyun.
In conclusion, the recent speculations about Lee Min Ho and Goo Hye Sun’s romantic involvement based on ring sightings lack substantial evidence. While their on-screen chemistry and history have fueled rumors, it’s important to approach such claims with caution, as celebrity relationships often generate substantial public interest and speculation.
