Rumors of a romantic relationship between BTS member Jungkook and actress Lee Yoo Bi resurfaced.
Reporter-turned-Youtuber Lee Jin Ho uploaded a new Youtube video on February 13th, saying “It has been confirmed that Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi were still lovers until May last year”.
Lee Jin Ho said, “I’ve been talking about this issue since two years ago. In particular, Jungkook is a world-class top star so he had no choice but to be cautious. Looking at related content one by one, it is true that the two used to be in a romantic relationship”.
He continued, “Through an official who knows the two well, I confirmed that the two were still dating until 2021. However, it is unknown whether their relationship continues after May last year.”
According to Lee Jin Ho, Jungkook and Lee Yoo Bi’s romance has something in relation to Kumuda, a culture and arts company. Both have fairly close relationships with Kumuda.
Lee Yoo Bi is listed as an in-house director of this company. Lee Yoo Bi’s mother – actress Kyeon Mi Ri was seen at the concert hall of Kumuda and she also attended the opening ceremony of Kumuda 2 years ago.
Jungkook made donations to Kumuda. The two also showed off their “couple items”. In particular, Lee Jin Ho pointed out that the beads have a different meaning because Kyeon Mi Ri and actor Lee Seung Gi, Lee Yu Bi’s brother-in-law, also wear them.
Lee Jin Ho revealed that he also captured the circumstance in which Jungkook gave Lee Yu Bi an expensive luxury bag as a gift. He explained, “A shopping review was posted on an online shopping mall using Jungkook’s ID. Looking at the purchase history, product names such as ‘Chanel Silver’ are recorded. Lee Yu Bi posted photos of the same product (as the bag Jungkook bought) on her Instagram at that time.”
He also said that the two were caught side by side on Jeju Island in November last year, adding, “There were suspicions that they might have traveled together.”
Jungkook and Lee Yu Bi’s dating rumor surfaced once last year. However, at that time, their agencies explained that it was “groundless”.
Lee Yoo Bi posted some photos with a congratulatory message on her Instagram on February 8th, a day after her sister Lee Da In announced her marriage.
Later, netizens poured malicious comments on Lee Yoo Bi’s post. Most of the comments are criticisms towards her family background. In the end, the actress turned off the comment function on her post.
