Son Ye-jin’s Bestie Revealed Shocking Past: Boyfriend Left Her for a Male Celeb
An actress known as Son Ye-jin’s best friend once disclosed that she lost her boyfriend to a gay male celebrity.
South Korean actress and singer Lee Jung-hyun, known for her roles in films like “Train to Busan”, is now enjoying a blissful marriage with a plastic surgeon 3 years younger, earning admiration from the public. However, Lee Jung-hyun’s love life has not always been smooth sailing, as she once suffered a deeply painful heartbreak.
Particular, in a 2009 appearance on KBS 2TV’s program “Champagne”, Lee Jung-hyun candidly shared an emotional experience from her early twenties. “I once dated a male celebrity. But in the end, a gay male celebrity stole him from me”, she confessed at the time.
According to Lee Jung-hyun, she discovered their relationship with a shocking revelation, stating, “I was shocked when I saw the two of them hugging and kissing passionately.” The incident left her emotionally devastated, to the point she “couldn’t function normally for a while and fell into emotional turmoil”.
“It was a huge shock that I couldn’t cope with at such a young age. For a long time after we broke up, I lived like a ghost”, the actress also said, adding, “I swore to myself that I’d never see either of them again. And to this day, I’ve never once run into them — not even by accident”.
Despite the passage of time, Lee has chosen not to disclose the identities of the individuals involved, emphasizing her desire to respect their privacy. She noted that both men continue to be active in the entertainment industry, with her ex-boyfriend not having publicly acknowledged his sexual orientation.
Meanwhile, Lee Jung-hyun (also known as Ava) is often referred to as the “Lady Gaga of Korea” for her dynamic presence in both music and film. She is part of a well-known circle of celebrity friends, including Son Ye-jin, Gong Hyo-jin, and Lee Min-jung.
