Splitsville: Lee Seo-jin dumps Kim Jung-eun

Say it ain’t so!

One of the most openly affectionate couples in the K-entertainment sphere, who were largely expected to announce wedding plans sometime soon (possibly even this year), has instead broken it off.

Kim Jung-eun and Lee Seo-jin started dating while filming the 2006 SBS drama Lovers, and had been going strong ever since. In the two years they had been dating, they were one of a few celebrity couples who were open about their relationship status (many others choose to be coy, denying rumors even when they’re obvious to the public), and were occasionally seen in public on dates together. Both stars were effusive in praise about the other, and Lee Seo-jin even appeared on Kim Jung-eun’s variety show (Chocolate) to serenade her with a love song, singing the same love theme that marked their characters’ romance in 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.

So it’s a bit of a shock to hear from Kim Jung-eun’s own lips that the couple is no more. She admitted it in press interviews on November 22, saying she couldn’t keep lying to the public further — the split occurred at the end of October. It’s particularly surprising since the couple hadn’t given signs of much trouble or fighting leading up to this news.

Kim confessed that it was a one-sided decision; Lee initiated the breakup, which came as a shock to her. She fought tears as she conducted her interview, saying, “It felt like I’d been in an unexpected car accident” and “I felt like I’d been shot.”

She admits that it’s difficult dealing with the shock of the breakup, and had just begun work on her new series General Hospital 2 when Lee dumped her. The drama just began airing this Wednesday on MBC.

I’m sure there are two sides to every story (although I wonder if Lee will suffer more, since he already had a bit of a rep for cool breakups), but still: AWW.

LSJ will pay a high price to what he did to this innocent, kind-hearted KJE. Wait for your day, you punk. You deceive people you are a generous and a good, loving boyfriend. You were even awarded with awards meant only for deserving philanthropist. You are making a fool of KJE and the people. Your dishonesty and idiotic acts will put you to hell. Remember that. People and God's wrath will be on you forever.

LSJ is ruining his career and his dignity. LSJ is downgrading himself from being human. If he did this to some prostitutes, dumping whores or prostitues or easy women, that is fine. But he's dumping a kind-hearted, respectable and generous woman. So, he's an animal now. A pig or a monkey. He looks like a monkey, anyway.

I didn't know that KJE is that attractive and pretty actress, I recognises her as a talented actress but not the pretty one, so LSJ made a good choice not to choose her. Looked at her now, so skinny and old stick.

To my fellow admirers of KJE,

Lee Seo Jin will have his karma. He is a fake person and he will receive what he deserves. He uses women and dumps them once they are so in love with his manliness.

LSJ is a criminal . If he is not, he must be gay !

HE WILL ROT IN HELL!

Dear postmaster,
Please kindly delete message s108 to 110 urgently. I think both actors don't deserve such comment.

sometimes we think those celebrities are perfect but they aren't so. there is always a reason for everything and their breaking up has one. their drama (lovers) saved my marriage and i am so grateful of the relationship they portrayed. it made me more understanding and loving to my significant other. we hope that they will get over their hurt feelings.

If LSJ had planned to break up with KJE, why did he even bother to show up at Chocolate and serenaded KJE w/”Confession”? What a JERK.
I hope his career is cut short because of this. Female fans are sick to their stomach knowing that he is a mom mom’s boy, ending realtionship through a text message without an explaination, and worst of all at time KJE accepted a role in GH2 (instead of congratulate her). Then, he hid away in HK till mid-December while KJE has to face the public to film GH2 and Chocolate.
I would truely hope he will change his mind and get back to KJE because I know he is still in love with KJE. We should all drop LSJ email at http://www.seojinlee.com to encourage him to stand up to his mom if there is still love left for KJE, and asking him to quit hiding.
If his mother is truely the reason he should send her away to his older brother/sister or retirment home. A right woman only comes once in a life time.
I don’t understand how could a 35 years-old man educated in US let his mother runs his love life, since he will be the one sleeping with KJE, the woman he loves, not his mother. Unless he is just using his mother as an excuse. That would make him look even more pathetic.

I really feel for KJE. I am in a situation just like KJE. I have been dating a Korean doctor. During a recent trip to Vegas, he purchased a LV purse for me as a gift. When his mother found out, she yelled and slapped me. She claimed I was gold digger, and I was only interested in his money. I really didn't care for the LV, but I am not stupid enough to reject the gift he insisted on buying. I really love this guy. He is kind, smart and understanding. He looks like the singer, Alex. He is strong, but when it comes to his mother, he is jello. I really love him, but I hate his family. Should I keep him or dump him?

What are all these comments I read:

"Lee Seo Jin used his girlfriends' names for his career??"

Are you EXPECTING people to BELIEVE that?

Come on, do you actually follows his career path? He doesn't need his girlfriend to make him popular. He can do it by himself.

All his previous successful dramas; Damo, Phoenix, Lovers, Yi San are his own efforts. Not because of Kim Jung Eun or Lee Hyo Ri. Not because he date them that his dramas received high ratings.

He won two of his 'Best Actor' awards also because of his efforts. Not because of his girlfriends.

He is extremely succesful and rich, why he needs to use his girlfriends' names? I just don't understand it. -_-;; Where are all these ideas come from??

Yeah, he was wrong in this case, but he must has a reason for that break-up. Kim Jung Eun wouldn't cry a river if he is a jerk. Come on, if he is a JERK, she will be SO HAPPY to break up with him..

if he is not using these celebrities with BIG NAMES, how come he never dated someone who is not even known...

well of course if he dates someone with A NAME in the industry, that will make him more popular. his series were watched because of the storyline, not because he was in it. aside also from the fact that his co-stars helped in the success of the series and not him alone. in Lee San he himself admitted he did not become popular in the drama rather the other casts became more popular. imagine after the series, his management company were expecting 700 people would attend his fan meeting and only 200 came. they almost cancelled the fan meeting.

his acting awards were ONLY GIVEN by the station...that is like CONSOLATION PRIZE for the hardwork all the actors gave for every series that they appeared in. but with Lee San's popularity, did he WIN the POPULARITY AWARD or BEST ACTOR AWARD from BAEK SANG? or the SEOUL DRAMA AWARD or the other TV Dramas award by which other series of other stations compete? he has not WON ANY of those...his awards were all from MBC...his SBS Award was even redundant POPULARITY AWARD...that was another consolation prize...

people are always stressing he is RICH..yeah he is RICH and he thinks he can just hurt women like that. whether he has valid reasons, he must learn to face the woman he was dating to end the relationship and not how he broke up with Lee Hyo Ri or with KJE...just because he is RICH, he already has the right to hurt a woman like that?

and for the record...i don't think he will ever have a HIT MOVIE...LSJ is only GOOD FOR TV DRAMAS...thus limiting his ability really as A FULL FLEDGED ACTOR.

LSJ was then very open of his love and respect to KJE. It intrigues everybody how he can be so rude in dumping KJE. It was a not-so-nice way of breaking up, the way he did. But wait, everybody's saying the issue was not on a third party but family. And fixing the issue then, may be, was too hard for him. Since, this is the way he walked out from relationships before, and so he thought he can do it same way with KJE. Poor KJE, she must thought LSJ never can do this to her.

Well and well, I'm mad at what he did, whoever would not. But, still I pray for him coz he's under the spell of a family who is, for heaven's sake, the only one happy of this break up. This break up hurts the two people involve, LSJ and KJE, Kje's family and friends, and KJE and LSJ's friends and fans.

Can you imagine, only one person is happy, and hundreds or thousands are unhappy? I pray that that one person happy today of the break up can have a more loving and forgiving heart, and be more understanding.

a comment in Soompi:-

LSJ doesn’t use KJE for popularity. why would he? he can be successful by himself. his previous successful dramas show that.

he proved himself in damo. that drama was very successful and craved a career path for him. later, phoenix got very high ratings too. he then act in the a big budget movie; shadowless sword as a lead. freeze already gathered much publicity before it’s screening. i would not consider lovers as his successful work since the ratings for that show only high towards the end of the drama. Then, yisan come along. the rest is history since you guys know how successful the drama was.

all this is done by his hardworks. not because he has a popular girlfriend.

korean entertainment industry doesn't work that way. just because your gf is popular doesn't mean you will be popular too.

do you think all the outstanding and excellence awards that he won because the judges think because his gf is popular, they give it to him?

do you think the ratings of his previous drama will be high because his gf is popular?

do you think he got offers for dramas because his gf is popular?

if Korean entertainment is that shallow, then painter of the wind show result in high ratings considering PSY and MGY is in that drama.

LSJ is pretty much establish himself before he dated her. so, to say that KJE is much more stable or etc than him is just ignorant. he is very rich, educated and doesn't need anyone to boost his popularity.

plus, those words can only hurt KJE more. what would she feels when her fans said that her ex only using her? what she thought is love for two years is only a lie.

sure, the guy is very wrong. but to question his hardworks for all those years are just PLAIN WRONG.

Everybody says that they're rich (lee seo jin).
If they're filthy rich how come they make a big deal about him buying
the shopping spree for her. I think he wanted to show off to his girlfriend
but he did'nt expected that his mommy will get very upset with him for
spending to much. I love this couple very much I think they really have strong
feelings to each other. And I have a very strong feelings that they're going to be
together again.
Kim jung eun I think is engage right now because of the new ring that she's sporting rigt now look like an engagement ring to me.
If he is the guy behind her being sooooo happy and blooming this days
it's okey with me if not does not matter to me.

the only thing that makes me sick to my stomach is what most ppl wrote here about actor Lee Seo Jin!
i'd say: what do u know about their relationship to know who's at fault?!who gave u the right to judge in the first place?!! and who are u to judge him?!and what's worse what are u basing on your judgment?! mere rumours!since neither of them declared the reason of the breakup!
from what i see Lee Seo Jin is the victim here ,being silent makes him an easy target to blame!every story has 2 sides!
for all u know LSJ maybe the noble party here refusing to speak!no one breaks up without a reason specially in a relationship like they had!not necessarily makes him or her bad!he is right not wanting to talk about this very personal matter to the media i respect him for that&it's his right! being away he did it exactly for that!so that he won't be tempted to speak or reply!

if any of u was a true respectfull fan of this awesome couple as u claim!u would respect their decision and support both of them!and u should leave them alone!in fact reading the offensive hateful (to say the least) outrageous comments written by some i respect&like LSJ more&more for not lowering himself to this level by replying!

To Kim Jung Eun: I don't know u but i feel ur a kind&good person i hope u learn from this experience&become a better person i wish u happiness.

To Lee Seo Jin: i admire ur strength,i support u cause i know u must have ur reasons,but i hope u can have a clean cut end for your sake&Jung Eun's,or get back together if it can be fixed whatever makes u both happy!

I Love u LSJ & KJE!~

Ok, it seems it was an unilateral decision, but both people are mature so I guess they already got over it. Man always has two reasons for the things he does; the logical one and the real one, so I'm pretty sure LSJ 'a decission wasn't irrational. I wish them good luck in their carrers and private life!
