Actor Lee Min-ho and singer-actress Suzy on Monday confirmed they are in a relationship.

However, the two top stars are just one couple in a long line of top-star couples who have made their relationships public.
Before the Lee-Suzy union there was Girl’s Generation’s Yoona and singer-actor Lee Seung-gi. The fact that the two were dating was made public in January 2014 following a news report with photographs of the two meeting for dates, much like Lee and Suzy.

The two are still in a relationship, but have kept it out of the public eye for the most part.
A year before the news of Lee Seung-gi and Yoona shook the local entertainment industry and their fans, the relationship between actress Kim Tae-hee and singer-actor Rain, or Jung Ji-hoon, became public.

Just like Lee Seung-gi and Yoona, Kim and Rain have largely remained under the radar.
Another star couple that has lasted longer is Won Bin and Lee Na-young. Their relationship is said to have begun in 2012 and was made public in July 2013.

Some top celebrity couples have taken their relationship to the next level and tied the knot.
Lee Byung-hun and Lee Min-jung are just one of the more recent top star couples to take the plunge.

Their relationship first began in 2006. They broke up, but rekindled their love in 2013.
They are now awaiting the birth of their first child.
