As a Hallyu star, Lee Min Ho is often the center of attention of fans following the K-content world. His dating life is no exception. Though the actor had two public relationships in the past, he managed to keep it under wraps for the most part. Now, a new buzz says, he is romantically involved with chaebol heiress Joanna Chun. What led to such speculations? Let’s dive deep into the world of rumors. 

Initially, on October 3, the speculations first started to spread on social media. It was revealed that  Lee Min Ho and Joanna Chun, the daughter of the Paradise Group’s chairman, share some mutual friends and connections in various fields of their shared interests including fashion design, art exhibition, and photography. 

Netizens pointed out that this year, he has been frequently traveling to Japan and staying at the Edison hotels despite having no such schedules there.

Further sparking rumors of their romantic relationship, an old photo resurfaced. It showed them both attending G-Dragon’s New Year’s Party. Joanna Chun was seated beside the BIGBANG member while Lee Min Ho was peaking behind Squid Game actor Lee Jung Jae.
