Rumors of a romantic relationship between the two surfaced on the 28th when it was reported that Lee Dong-gun enjoyed a date with Kang Hae-rim, who was 16 years younger than him, near Cheongdam-dong, Seoul. However, the agencies on both sides cannot confirm because it is the actor's private life" is reticent about whether they are romantically involved or not.
In this regard, attention is drawn to Lee Dong-gun's 'quiet response' without any explanation. Although this romantic relationship is essentially a private life, it draws great attention as the age difference of the other person and the family history of the person involved are intertwined.
In particular, Lee Dong-gun has not hidden his romance with actors Kim Min-jung, Han Ji-hye, Cha Ye-ryeon, and group T-ara Ji-yeon in the past, and he has also married actor Cho Yoon-hee, who had a relationship through the drama 「Wol Gye-soo's tailor gentlemen」, and has been relatively 'cool' regarding dating.

Lee Dong-gun held his daughter Roa in his arms with Cho Yoon-hee in 2017. However, since divorcing in 2020, Cho Yoon-hee has been raising her daughter alone. Nevertheless, he showed his affection for his daughter through the SBS entertainment program `My Ugly Baby.'
In February, the broadcast revealed the daily life of meeting her daughter every week, saying that her daughter Roa likes Sundays the most. I heard that's because it's the day I see my dad," he said with a happy smile. And last April, there was a house that I had hoped would live in a place like this for Roa"He also disclosed a separate house on Jeju Island.
As such, Lee Dong-gun is seeing his daughter every week even after his divorce from Cho Yoon-hee, and he has no hesitation in mentioning his father-daughter relationship on TV. No custody of children, but having regular meetings as a 'good dad'. This move reinforced the image of the viewer with 'the father of one child' rather than 'actor Lee Dong-gun'.
For this reason, the public believes that even if he is currently dating, he is not willing to make it official in terms of 'care for his daughter'. In particular, considering the fact that the opponent is a young actress 16 years younger and that much higher attention could be drawn than before, analysts say they are concerned that overheating of private life could affect their daughter. It is a 'father's instinct' to reduce the indirect burden on children by the specificity of the celebrity job.
In fact, in the `My Ugly Baby' episode aired in April, Kim Jong-kook joked that `If Roa looks like his father, he's the type to have an open relationship quickly.' Lee Dong-gun said "I should tell him not to do that."The scene in which he answered " also added strength to this analysis. Lee Dong-gun, who had previously taken an open attitude toward dating, is now in a position to educate his children about the prudence of 'private life'.
An entertainment agency official said, `More careful privacy management is required to maintain relationships with children after divorce"Especially now that he has shown himself as a father on the show, he will have no choice but to be cautious about dating."
