Lee Min-ho and Park Min-young confirm they’re dating
by javabeans
javabeans: The City Hunter and Nana Bear?!! They’ve just confirmed it, via Park Min-young’s agency.
girlfriday: They’re DATING? In REAL LIFE?
javabeans: It’s like my fantasies have collided with real life and now I’m all confused where one starts and the other stops.
girlfriday: And that’s different from a regular day how? Maybe it’s a sign that we should just give into City Hunter being reality.
javabeans: I…am…so…conflicted. On one hand, there go my fleeting, albeit delusional, daydreams of kidnapping — er, winning over Lee Min-ho with my charms. On the other hand… it’s City Hunter and Nana Bear!
girlfriday: I’m simultaneously wailing and squeeing.
javabeans: So, the facts: They’ve known each other for years and even were in a drama together — 2007’s I Am Sam, although she was a lead and he was just a minor supporting character. But they reportedly developed feelings over the course of shooting City Hunter.
girlfriday: Because how could you NOT fall in love with Lee Min-ho in City Hunter??
javabeans: DUH, talk about foregone conclusion. The official story goes, they started seeing each other after the show wrapped — a cup of coffee here, a drink there — and that developed into full-blown romance. Now they’ve been a couple for a month.
girlfriday: I KNEW his googly eyes at her wearing nothing but his white shirt wasn’t just an act.
javabeans: This is every shipper’s, fanficcer’s, drama fanatic’s dream come true. Almost literally. I bet this soothes some wounded souls after the ambiguousish ending, yeah?
girlfriday: I still contend that ending is in no way ambiguous, but whatever.
javabeans: I agree with you on the ghost theory (as in, PIFFLE!) but the romance was left open, kind of.
girlfriday: Ah yes. Well I much prefer their real-life counterparts getting the happily ever after.
javabeans: Aww, I just want them to be together all giddy-like and happy forever and ever.
girlfriday: All goofy and adorkable.
javabeans: Also: City Hunter 2!! Please? Don’t you lovebirds want an excuse to shoot a whole twenty-episode series where making goggly eyes at each other and being adorable is part of the job description? And you get PAID to do it???
girlfriday: Romance Lee Min-ho on- and off-screen? Best. Job. Ever.

I thought earlier there were rumors that PMY was dating her co-star Yoochun from SKS?
I am confused now, was PMY ever with Yoochun or they broke up or it were just rumors. I have checked the star signs... PMY is an Aries, which goes really well with Yoochun who's an Leo.
Of cos I like LMH a lot too... which girl doesn't?
I am two minds about PMY, and it's not due to jealousy! Previously I read reports about PMY confessing that she had plastic surgery to achieve her cute looks.
I would have liked her a lot more, if she was a natural beauty. She is sweet but no plastic beauties for me! If I knew she was natural I would definately ship her!

I kind of agree with you that I would've liked her at lot more had she been natural. This is the first drama I've seen her in, and even though she's not a powerful actor, she's really cute and adorable. But there are times when the camera zooms in on her face and I notice her eyelids when her eyes are closed. I've always been a silent advocate for natural beauty, and it still saddens me that beauty will always be an issue in the society.
However, I am no one to comment on their lives and if they are happy together, then they deserve it.

Yes, PMY admitted once that she got double-eyelid surgery, and straightened up her crooked nose. But honestly, she didn't look that different before: http://i2.asntown.net/h2//Korea/plastic-surgery/Park%20Min%20Young1.jpg
And while natural beauty is better, I'm not against plastic surgery. And I give PMY kudos for admitting to it herself, rather than being exposed by netizens.

I am a girl, and I don't like LMH, if by like you meant 'dayyumm I'd tap dat ass' like.
And... 'ship'? Are you serious right now? They are actually dating, not just onscreen. Geez, learn to read.

Ok, I know I'm gonna get ALOT of flak for this, but I can't help being cynical about the news.
Not that I won't be happy for them if it turns out to be true, but I just find the news all to be a little too perfectly manufactured. I didn't think they had alot of chemistry during the filming of the show, and to be cynical again, the BTS shots of them being physically close and sharing views of LMH's viewcam were all posed.
Could they supposedly be in a relationship to boost sales of City Hunter DVD's and ratings when the show airs in other countries? After all, Hyun Bin and Song Hye Kyo reportedly were dating when Worlds Within started airing in Japan. And we know how soon that relationship ended.
LMH apparently survived on only 2 hours of sleep during the filming of CH. I doubt he had the time or energy to be thinking of being in a relationship with that kind of schedule.
Before anyone starts the name-calling and mud-slinging, just wanna reiterate, I DO lurve them together as a couple, but just sayin'...

^this. LMHs agency would also have you believe the hottest 25 year old in Korea has been celibate for the last 5 years after his rise to semi-international stardom. Besides, if LMH is taken, what the heck is he going to do in those fan meetings besides hand out tissues to depressed women? :)

August 23, 2011 at 2:15 AM
This is completely plausible, BUT... they did say that they began dating after filming wrapped, maybe when they had more free time and gotten more sleep and stuff. Plus, working closely under those kind of conditions with someone you are already really comfortable around is bound to breed more attachment right?
Or maybe I'm just a hopeless fangirl. Tbh, I don't really care if its a lie or not, as long as they make it convincing and supercute. They can 'lie to me' anytime... hahaha, geddit? oh god im so lame...

They were caught by the paparazzi on the 2 dates,hence the photos. Their agency always deny it at first, although they admitted they have feelings for each other. It is ok to date after all they are humans, although I wish LMH is man enough to admit it. Just like the last dating rumour with a non-celebrity- they did a mess of the damage control by saying it was joking between MH and his friend and then saying it was not serious dating. More damage is done to his image if they admit and then deny with various excuses. Just admit it and ask the public to leave them alone like some other celebrities couples did.

Having watched "I am Sam" and knowing that they had been friends for awhile before City I figured it would only be a matter of time. They look good together.
Although I have to admit this does make wonder if back during the BOF days if MinHo was ever dating or was interested in Goo Hye Sun because they were super adorable and always together in the BTS and even after the drama ended and they were known to be close and hung out quite often post BOF

I watched some of the behind the scenes stuffs and they were way too cute together. I didn't really ship them in the drama so much that I wanted them dating in real life so this isn't crazy thinking on my part. LOL I just had a feeling. AH~ good for them.
