Korean actor Yoo Seung-ho (유승호) and actress Lim Se-joo (임세주) are reportedly in a long-term, low-key relationship. The two met while collaborating on the drama “Memorist,” and what began as on-screen chemistry is said to have blossomed into a six-year romance.
According to Korean media reports on the 8th, Yoo and Lim have been dating for six years. They first worked together on the tvN drama “Memorist,” which aired in March 2020. Yoo Seung-ho played the male lead, Dong Baek, while Lim Se-joo appeared as the supporting character Lee Seul-bi. Their connection on set reportedly led to them becoming close.
It is understood that their professional collaboration served as a catalyst for them to grow closer, eventually developing into a romantic relationship. The couple has maintained a very low profile, only revealing their relationship to close friends, which is why it has remained largely out of the public eye until now.
As their relationship continued for several years, the number of entertainment industry insiders aware of their dating also increased. Recent reports suggest that the two have been spotted on dates in public, including walking Yoo Seung-ho’s dog together in the Seogyo-dong area of Mapo District, Seoul, and also on dates in Paju, Gyeonggi Province, quietly enjoying their private time.
Yoo Seung-ho, currently 30 years old (Korean age 31), has long been known as an actor with “zero dating scandals.” He debuted as a child actor in the MBC drama “Daddy Fish” in 2000 and gained significant popularity after starring in the 2002 film “The Way Home.” He has since appeared in numerous dramas such as “Warrior Baek Dong-soo,” “Missing You,” “My Strange Hero,” and “Moonshine,” as well as films like “The Magician” and “Seondal: The Man Who Sells the River.” In recent years, he has also ventured into stage plays, continuously building his acting portfolio.
Even after becoming an adult, Yoo Seung-ho has rarely been involved in dating rumors or private life controversies, making the sudden revelation of his six-year relationship quite surprising to many fans. However, in a 2017 interview, Yoo Seung-ho did reveal that he had “dated a few times in the past,” initially wanting to keep it hidden but ultimately admitting, “It’s better to just say it than to be caught lying later.”
Lim Se-joo, 32, first entered the entertainment industry as a singer. She debuted in 2011 under the stage name “Haewora” (해오라) before transitioning to acting in 2014. As an actress, she has appeared in numerous works, including the films “Salut d'Amour” and “The Odd Family: Zombie On Sale,” and dramas such as “Woman with a Suitcase,” “Our Gap-soon,” “My Golden Life,” “My Only One,” “My Husband in Law,” “Zombie Detective,” “A Killer Paradox,” and “Riding Life.”
Having met through their work in 2020, the couple has now been together for six years. The exposure of this low-key, long-term relationship, which transitioned “from on-screen to off-screen love,” has come as a surprise to many fans.
