Lee Jung Jae, who has been in a relationship with Daesang Group Vice Chairwoman Lim Se Ryung for 10 years, has caught attention for a different reason recently. At an event, Lee was seen holding hands affectionately with his junior actor, Lee Min Ho, while sitting far from Lim Se Ryung.

On September 4, fashion designer Eva Chow posted a photo on her Instagram with the caption "Last night," featuring a group of well-known Korean actors. The stars had gathered to attend the collaborative auction event between Big Bang's G-Dragon and pop star Pharrell Williams, held at Paradise City in Incheon on September 2.

In the photo, top stars such as Jang Dong Gun and Go So Young, along with Lee Min Ho and Lee Soo Hyuk, were present, creating an atmosphere reminiscent of a post-awards ceremony celebration. Notably, Lee Jung Jae and Lim Se Ryung, who have been in a long-term relationship, were seated at opposite ends of the group.

What particularly caught the public’s eye was Lee Jung Jae holding hands warmly with Lee Min Ho, whose hand rested on his knee, rather than interacting closely with Lim Se Ryung. This moment highlighted the close bond between the two actors, with many noting Lee Jung Jae’s strong affection for his junior.

Lee Jung Jae and Lim Se Ryung’s relationship first became public in January 2015 when photos of the two on a date were revealed. The couple quickly confirmed their relationship and have since appeared confidently together at various public events.

Notably, Lim accompanied Lee Jung Jae to the Cannes Film Festival in 2022 and the Emmy Awards later that September. They also attended the 2023 LACMA Art + Film Gala in Los Angeles together, further showcasing their long-standing partnership.
