Lee Se-young Sparks Dating Rumors After 27 Years in the Industry “Spotted with Younger Co-Star in Affectionate Moment”
During the Jan 14th episode of “Vivo TV – One Car Ride” featuring Lee Se-young and Na In-woo, co-stars of MBC’s new drama “Motel California”, their close interactions hinted at more than just professional camaraderie.
Host Song Eun-yi teased “They might just become the first couple of the New Year“, introducing them as “Queenly Lee Se-young and Nerdy Na In-woo“, predicting the birth of a visually stunning couple in the drama.
As the two departed from MBC’s headquarters, they were warmly sent off by staff. Song Eun-yi commented, “It seems like MBC has high hopes for this drama. So many people are waving them off—it’s incredible!” She added, “This feels like the drama that will kick off MBC’s 2025 slate.”
Lee Se-young expressed her gratitude, “It feels great to be loved.” At that moment, Na In-woo lightly touched her cheek in a natural gesture, surprising Song Eun-yi, who glanced at the backseat to gauge reactions. Lee Se-young responded with a soft smile, creating a relaxed atmosphere.
Na In-woo candidly shared, “Honestly, all this attention feels a bit overwhelming.” However, when Song Eun-yi noted how much Lee Se-young was cherished, he playfully asked “Does that mean you’ll like me too now?“, adding to the warm mood.
When asked about any grievances between them during filming, both actors insisted there were none.
Na In-woo admitted there were preconceived notions at their first meeting, recalling, “We probably seemed cold to each other at first.” Lee Se-young explained, “I tend to be shy, but since it was a professional setting, I tried to be polite, saying things like, ‘Yes, hello.’ I guess it came across as curt.”
Na In-woo agreed, sharing, “I’m the same. Since turning 30, I’ve become more serious. On broadcasts, I try to appear cheerful, but when I’m doing my main job, I stay focused. At our first meeting, I wanted to listen attentively, but I think it made me seem distant.“
