After School's Uee and actor Lee Sang Yoon are the latest celebrity couple to confirm dating. The two readily admitted that they have been exclusively going out since the start of this year.
On May 3, representative from J. Wide Entertainment, released statements to affirm the news that Lee is in a relationship with Uee. Likewise, Pledis Entertainment, After School's agency, did not hide the dating status of the two and even asked the public to support the couple as they are still at the stage of getting to know each other, Kpop Herald reported.
The rep from Pledis also shared that Lee and Uee met each other at a gathering and that was the time when romance started to blossom. A source further disclosed that the pair enjoys going on dates just like any other common couple but many of their celebrity friends envy them because they look so good together, Soompi has learned
When the news of the dating was released earlier today, many observers assumed that when Uee and Lee showed up together at the Mnet Asian Music Awards in December 2015, it was possible that there is already something going on between them. It can be recalled that the two appeared at MAMA's red carpet and they were photographed with Uee staying close to Lee by linking arms.
In any case, Lee is 34 while Uee is 28. The former debuted as an actor in 2007 via the film "Sex is Zero 2." Since then, he starred in several TV dramas like "Jejungwon," "My Daughter Seo Young," and "I Love You, Don't Cry." His last projects include the series "Twenty Again" with Choi Ji Woo and the suspense thriller flick "Insane."
On the other hand, Uee debuted in 2009, as part of the girl idol group After School. Just three months after debut, she got her break and started her acting career through "Queen Seondok." Later, she starred in hit dramas like the "Ojakgyo Family" and "Marriage Contract" with Lee Seo Jin.
