Singer-turned actress Suzy is in a romantic relationship with actor Lee Dong-wook.

Lee’s agency King Kong by Starship Entertainment and Suzy’s agency JYP Entertainment on Friday confirmed that the two celebrities who have a 13-year age gap, have recently started dating after meeting each other at an unofficial occasion.

Lee, 36, who debuted as an actor in 1999, rose to stardom in the TV series “My Girl” in 2005. He also gained wide public recognition through featuring in “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God,” the 2016-2017 megahit tvN drama series. Lee is set to feature in JTBC‘s upcoming medical drama “Life.”

Having originally debuted in a now-defunct K-pop girl group Miss A in 2010, Suzy, 24, made her acting debut in the high-school drama “Dream High” in 2011. Her breakthrough acting success came with the 2012 film “Architecture 101,” in which she played a younger version of the female protagonist and earned the nickname “icon of first love.” While continuing her acting career, she made her
solo debut with her first EP “Yes? No?” in January last year and released her second EP “Faces of Love” in January this year.
