A source from Han's agency, KeyEast, also confirmed their relationship, according to Soompi. Moreover, the source revealed that the pair started off as friends after meeting each other on the set of the SBS drama "Modern Farmer," but grew closer through their shared hobby of bowling.
Before going public with their relationship, Lee somewhat admitted to not being single during the Nov. 8 airing of "Lee Hong Ki's Kiss the Radio" with guest star Kim Ho Young. When asked about his love life, the musician said that he would not be spending this winter alone because of "Hong Ki Ra," which is an acronym for the radio show.
Rapper Kisum, who also made an appearance on the show, pointed out to Lee that it appears as though he was already in a relationship because of the warm vibe that she was feeling. In response, Lee confessed that he was not lonely, implying that he has a girlfriend.
Congratulations to the happy couple!
