Wow. This was a bit of a surprise! He always looked at her like she was the only person in the world. :-(

That's so sad! But I wonder what Lee Seo-jin's side of the story is. They were a cute yet unusual couple. I loved the drama Lovers.

"The two traveled to the U.S. together as recently as this summer, and shot a fashion spread together in New York in September."

Looking back, it's likely that they were having problems during the Yi San shoot (which did run much longer than projected), and were trying to reconnect after the show wrapped up.

As you said, there's two sides to the story and it's their private life anyway. I hope the media/Netizens play nicer.

I'm sure he has another woman.
lol, when he began to date her, I knew this would be happened.
because he had dumped his past girlfriend for kim jung eun, lol
everytime he dates someone, he makes it like that person is the only person in the world, he praise her like a queen, always say he loves her so much,...etc
but BAM..he dumps her. sucks
hate him. lol

if LSJ dumped her, then that means 2 years is the longest relationship LSJ can have...no more than that. he also dumped LHR close to 2 years...

i hope KJE can move on. there is always 2 sides of the story and no wonder during the Come To Play guesting and press conference, she was not wearing any of the gifts LSJ gave to her..the earrings, necklace, bracelet and the watch.

i hope LSJ didn't use KJE for him to recover his name in the industry. he once dated LHR who was on top of her world then...and now is at top of her world again...now he dumped KJE...is he planning to go back to LHR to boost his name again. i hope not. maybe if he dates someone with no name yet in the industry i would think he really loves that woman. but if he goes from one famous and with certain status in the industry to another, then LSJ is using these female celebs to boost his fame.

i feel bad for KJE as she really supported LSJ during his "LEE SAN" days and now that she is the one busy, LSJ dumped her...well she is a strong woman she can move on. there were good memories she can always reminisce.

@denise,

Yeaaahhhh I've read that too about Lee Seo-jin. He's kinda like the Alex of K-drama.

@cattleya
you're right
lol, his ex- who I was talking about it LHR.
from what I heard and read about his relationship with LHR
it's exactly what you said that he used LHR's name for his career or something.
because when he began to date her, whe was on top in the industry( don't know when they began to date) I think sometime in 2005, but begin Februar 2006, when LHR's second album came out, she had a problem with it, her album didn't doing well at the time, it was a hard time for her, and the person who she need at that time was him, but where was he? he didn't pick her phone up when she called him, he ignored her? why? don't you think he was afraid of all her problems...too
in the end, he dumped her. sucks.
LHR was on yashimmanman past september and she told her love-story, she didn't say his name, but i think it's him, she said she has cried so much that time.
anw, after he dumped LHR, I swear I will never look at his face and will never forgive him.

There is always 2 sids the story...and it's their personal lives.

Hope the media/netizens will leave them alone.

Hope both will move on positively , better to realise their incompatiblity now than after marriage.

High profile romance really never works.lol

Awww... I really liked them. Even though lovers was waay to dramatic for me, I really liked their chemistry...

I'M NOT SURPRISED. THEY ALWAYS APPEARED TO BE ACTING, TRYING TO PRETEND THEY WERE A MATCH-MADE-IN-HEAVEN ALL THE TIME AND TO ME THEY ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE THEY WERE GOING OVERBOARD WITH ALL THE AFFECTIONS. I KNEW THEY WEREN'T GONNA LAST LONG.

awwwww. really liked them..

aww, my mum loves her, because of Lovers in Paris...

aww....
its his lost....
kje is such a nice lady...
kje can handled it..she's such a strong person

so this means lsj used kje for his own career
oh whatever!

still here to support jung eun unni

nooo....
wait lee soojin has a rep for having cool breakups?? with who?

Say it aint so !!! wow, I thought they were on their way to marriage and white picket fences.

she shouldn't be so open about the breakup unless she wants him to have a bad rep

it's celebrities lives. That's how they are usually. I'm not surprised nor am I saddened. It's like crossing a bridge...the feelings while walking seems fun together but afterward each to his/her own path.

:) Move on and smile. That's how you should do it KJE!

Awww! Didnt like KJE before, but when she started dating LSJ, they were so sweet that I start liking her. Be strong KJE, maybe its a blessing in disguise.

ha... he's not that handsome anyway... so forget about him...

revenge? why not... this guy used women after 2 years .... its like the expirary date is always 2 years before he find someone "new"... heeeee ... cynical...

"(although I wonder if Lee will suffer more, since he already had a bit of a rep for cool breakups)"

Wait....who were his previous girlfriends/break ups? Were they high profile relationships too?

the singer Lee Hyo Ri was very popular when he started dating her, but when things were going bad on LHR's career according to LHR's fans, LSJ dumped her. it is like history repeats itself in KJE...when LSJ needed KJE for support and to help him promote his series "Lee San" KJE stayed by his side for 9 months even if their relationship just started and then dated once a week for 9 months...now that KJE is busy for GENERAL HOSPITAL 2, he dumped her...

well, maybe he simply wants space to think things over. and expect LSJ to not speak about his side, just like what he did after the break up with LHR. i wonder who would his next gf who is a HIGH PROFILE actress...SON YE JIN?

well maybe LSJ just did what HA KANG JAE(his character in LOVERS) to KJE...HKJ in LOVERS dumped his long time gf for someone and that someone is KJE's character.

What the... ? That's weird. Wasn't LSJ the one who always initiated things about wedding and proposing to her?

"i wonder who would his next gf who is a HIGH PROFILE actress…SON YE JIN?"

Wah?!? SYJ has been attached to LSJ?

belleza, LSJ has not been attached to SYJ. what i was predicting is who will be his next gf who is a high profile actress...i can only think of SON YE JIN.

sorry, but i totally agree with you denise~ rawrrr

kje is too good for him anyways

....well it's sad to hear that news but it's better that they split now rather than after
they got married.Honestly speaking......on the first place I really don't like LSJ for
KJE that's why it's just ok that things happen but of course I do respect the
feelings of KJE 'coz it's been a 2 year relationship and it's really hard for her part
'coz LSJ was the one who initiated the break-up.But I think in God's time KJE will
move on and find the real man for her.Anyways it's not her lost.....LSJ don't deserve KJE 'coz he's not good looking anyway!
For you KJE,be strong and always keep on SMILING and SHINING!!!
Many loves you anyway and you have a lot of fans to support you and cheer you
up! Goodluck and more success to all your endeavors! Love you!!!!!!

I guess it's just a sign of the times when people have to employ such "winner/loser" terminolgy liked "dumped" to describe the moving on or dissolution of people's personal relationships. I don't know either of these people from Adam, but it appears to me that thirty or so years of end zone-dancing, in-your-face, taking glee in your former partner's and opponent's misfortunes have numbed us, as a world-society to the feelings of others, It's all about winning, I suppose. If my neighbor's house burns and mine remains standing let us quickly get the marshmellows out and gather the kids so that we may celebrate his misfortune and our own ongoing merriment.

I know this much; What goes around comes around in this world. Be careful how you spend your friends, tomorrow's sale may not be the bargain that it seems...

this is such a shock omg. i was so happy for them before.
hmm.. well.. since LSJ has that rep im not gonna touch it.. but i think this might be one of those jen and brad things. im sure there were reasons we dont know.. yet... its just one of those things that there will be teams and whatnots..

it couldnt have one side wanted to settle down, while the other didnt. or something like that. take one project or wait for one. the trip couldve cause bigger rifts or one huge decision that made them split sides. we couldve thought they looked all happy but we dont really know what happens inside..
plus i thought that whole marriage thing, the moms and everything caused some sorta of rift cause that took so much attention and stuff. sometimes i dont like saying the dumper or the dumpee cause it sucks im sure to be both sides when a lot of feelings are involved.. and all that negative stuff.. just IMO. sad about the LHR thing, lets just try to be fair for now?

KJE ur doing great on GH2 keep it up!
just to smile and keep ur chin up.

I could not believe this when i read the title! I thought their love was SO strong and we would see them getting married real soon :[
awww....they both seem to be handling it well. who knows, maybe they'll get back together one day lol

awwww, i reallly liked this couple :/ they were like the korean version of brangelina =(
well, whatever reason it was , i hope both of them do well ..... even though i would realllyreallllyreallly like them back together :(

I don't know why but I am not surprised. I had a feeling he'd leave her. I don't know much about their relationship but I had read somewhere that when he first started chasing her she had been hesitant becoz of his 'fast' reputation. She turned out to be right after all.
She's very brave to talk about it and admit that he left her. I hope he's a gentleman about it and stays mum. Also I don't want to condemn him. Who knows what really happened. I think any girl who goes into a relationship with him should do so with her eyes wide open. Some guys just take a long time to settle down.
Is he younger than her? He looks younger.

lkl, i also have the feeling that they will get back to each other again.
maybe, LSJ was simply needing more space to contemplate on matters, thus he initiated the break up...

this is sad. for some reason, i liked lee seo jin more knowing that he cherished someone like kim jung eun so it's disappointing to know that the relationship is at its end...though it isn't surprising (i know, i hate the cynic in me, too). it's probably for the best so i hope kim jung eun will stay strong!

is 2 years the expiration date for attraction? i heard something like that so lee seo jin is definitely not a novelty. he's just probably a typical guy who is honest about what he wants, falls in love hard, and then later doesn't feel like forcing himself to stay by someone if he doesn't feel the chemistry anymore. i doubt he's using them to solidify his status (though the fact that they are successful women is part of the attraction).

man, where are those wonderful boyfriends/girlfriends who stick it through thick and thin for their loved ones no matter the circumstances or doubts? are they just a figment of people's imaginations? i guess the more fair question would be, would i be that type of person for the one i loved despite doubts, loss of attraction, etc?

Totally did not see this one coming. Too bad, they were really cute together.

awwwwww... they were so cute together. And here i though LSJ was a decent man. damn those guy that dump girls heartlessly.(pardon me for the being hard on LSJ but hey i am a huge fan of them)

To be honest, I always thought LSJ deserved someone less plastic looking. He's hot and doesn't need a barbie doll partner.

OK, maybe he's not hot in real life, but he sure looks good in the shows. Especially Damo (half naked torso), Shadowless Sword (naked torso again) and Yi San ( naked torso)

man.. this is truly a "say it ain't so" moment.

Too bad for their break-up, I think they matched each other so well. And not to mention, they're like one of my fav korean celeb couples.

I hope there really IS another side to the story. I read in KJE's thread that Yedang announced that the break-up was due to LSJ's mother? I'm not sure if it's accurate tho, but maybe it could be due to parental pressure, that LSJ had to initiate the break-up? Don't know..

Hopefully KJE can move on from that now..
She's got General Hospital 2 to focus on.. she'll live thru it I'm sure!

HWAITING~~

It must be 10000000x more difficult for her to deal with this break up because unlike her, we have some privacy and anonymity when we are dumped/break up with our partners. She's already under private scrutiny, and now she has to try to put on a smile even though she is probably suffering on the inside.

Fighting, KJE!

oh my God im so shock i think may be LSJ wants to marry but KJE keeps postponing it? im just so shock

please reconcile i love you both

i am very hearbroken now oh im crying :(

Going back in each others arms for the 2nd time???? I don't think soooo!!!!
No offensement,but it's really impossible for a guy to go back to a relationship
wherein he already admitted it quits most especially when in the guy's party who
initiated the so-called break-up.Maybe let's just merely accept the fact that they
were really not meant for each other,as the saying goes "the earlier the better".
Well it's not the end of the world for KJE rather it's just a beginning of a new and
happy life.
For you Ms. KJE,you deserve to be happy 'coz you're a nice,wonderful and
amazing person! Be strong and just focus on your acting and hosting career.
You will be truly blessed by God 'coz you have a good and clean heart. I love you
and I will keep on supporting you till the end! I will pray for you always!
Stay happy and pretty!!!!! Just keep on SMILING and SHINING!!!!!!!

oh no, say it ain't so...

how could a sweetie like KJE get dumped by a man-ho?

shame on you LSJ.. tsk tsk :(

there are two sides in a story let's keep calm and hear each sides although this is too much for me. here in the Phil. my favorite Sam Anne broke up two weeks ago the guy also dumped the girl. I am now afraid to support another real life pair.

I BELIEVE THAT JUNG EUN REALLY REALLY POOR! HOW CAN LSJ DUMB HER LIKE THIS ! HOW CAN HE DO TO LOVELY WOMAN LIKE THIS.....:)

ABSOLUTELY THEY CAN SEPARATE BUT WITH GOOD MEMORY NOT LIKE THIS...LSJ SHOULD NEVER BE WELCOMED WITH US AGAIN. I DON'T WANT TO SUPPORT HIM ANYMORE....VERY VERY FAKE....HE ACTS LIKE HE WILL LOVE HER FOREVER....SHOULD NOT BE LIKE THIS....BAD GUY!

It is disapppointing that the breakup was not done amicably after reading all the news report.

Since it had been sensationalised, it is abt time LSJ needs to give his side of the story...otherwise, his career will take a dip in Korea.

On the hindside, he could had been more gentlemanly to hold back the breakup till GH2 had completed, and also breaking up over the phone seem very cowardly.

I don't know. On one hand, I disliked LSJ for doing what he did to KJE. On othe other hand, I like that it happened now so she is not trapped in a relationship with a man that may have a problem maintaining a relationship, let alone marriage.

KJE seemed to project a girl-next-door image. No scandal, polite, pretty, good family, rich (they say). So I was actually surpised when she talked about the break up and seemed to have made it looked like LSJ is a real bad guy. Because I see her as a gentle person, I didn't expect that from her. But then again, if LSJ did something to hurt her so bad, I like that she told the entire Korean citizen that he's like that. Let it be known! There is no need to protect the image of this guy. Serves him right.

(And let him roam in the streets of Korea being hated by the crazy netizens?????)..... That is a joke...

Some of my anti-marriage friends say the classic red flag is when they date indefinitely without marriage plans. So on hindsight, the working trip to the US was a " salvage" attempt?

I agree that this announcement blindsided me. They really looked marriage and white picket fences- bound

let us not blame LSJ because it takes two to make the relationship work
in his july interview he even had a message for kje:

"i love you more today than yesterday and will love you even more tomorrow"

the love may be is still there but there are a lot of things to consider other than love

example, the issue on marriage maybe the one is so keen to marry the other is not
the other is family issues we know lsj is close to kje's family but we dont know if its true the other way around

lsj has been repentant that his father died in 2005 without them patching their differences he may have wanted to be obedient to his remaining parent- his mom now and in the process his lovelife suffered since his mom does not agree wiht his choice of gf

I don't think LSJ needs a successful woman to boost his career. He can do fine by himself. You never know the real thing with these personal things. On one hand I was surprised he would fall for someone so "plastic", but on the other hand not surprised, because KJE seems like a very nice, mature and kind person.
