Actor Jung Woo-sung has admitted to having a special relationship with Lee Ji-ah, who played a former lover of Jung in the spy drama “ATHENA: Goddess of War.”
Jung told his fans at a fan meeting on Sunday that he has been dating Lee Ji-ah.
“The relationship has just started. I hope you all understand in a good way,” Jung said.
The two stars in “ATHENA: Goddess of War” were spotted on a date in Paris, domestic news reports said on March 11.
The local Kyunghyang Shinmun revealed three photos of Jung Woo-sung and Lee Ji-ah, walking on a street in the French capital acting like a couple.
“Lee Ji-ah was with Jung Woo-sung with her hand inside of Jung’s coat pocket. They walked a street while looking around to check if anyone was looking at them, but they sure looked like they are dating,” a witness at the scene was quoted as saying.
The report said that two were not on an official visit to Paris.
Jung returned from Paris earlier than Lee, but didn’t mention anything about the reports until his fan meeting on Sunday.
“ATHENA: Goddess of War” ended on Feb. 21.
