Actor Lee Do Hyun Shares Intimate Details Of His Relationship With Lim Ji Yeon

Actor Lee Do Hyun revealed what he calls his girlfriend, Lim Ji Yeon, who is five years older than him.

Lee Do Hyun recently spoke with JTBC about his most recently wrapped K-Drama, The Good Bad Mother. In the drama, the actor plays a stoic prosecutor as well as a filial son.

The actor has been praised for his acting in the drama, with many stating that he portrayed his character perfectly. During the interview, the actor revealed the differences in the dating style between him and his character Kang Ho.

I think Kang Ho is more affectionate, considering how he wants to repay the affection given to him by Mijoo and how his aegyo–filled appearance is similar to me (in real life) but is an upgraded version. I think they are similar but different.

When asked if his girlfriend, Lim Ji Yeon, had watched his drama, the actor revealed that he didn’t want to burden his busy girlfriend.

I asked her to watch it, but she is so busy filming I didn’t ask her if she did watch it. I don’t want to burden her with my work. She knew when the drama finished filming and when its last episode aired, so she said, “You did well.”

The actor then revealed what the couple called each other and hinted that he called his older girlfriend by her name.

Normally we talk comfortably. We don’t use any pet names.

The actors, who met while filming Netflix’s The Glory, confirmed that they were dating in April. At the time, the actor revealed that “We went from good colleagues to carefully getting to know each other with good feelings.”
