Personal life
On August 23, 2011, the South Korean actor Lee Min Ho and actress Park Min Young admitted their love affair to the public. One of Park's agents claimed through a phone call: " They fell in love in the process of shooting the TV series City Hunter. They have been in love for a short period. We don't know the specific information, but Park Min Young herself hinted to her agency that they had been dating for only one month, and she looked forward to the wishes from fans of both Lee's and hers." Comparing to the cautiousness of Park's agent, Lee's agent seemed to be more straightforward. As Lee's agent claimed: They are now true lovers and this relationship lasts for some time. It's a little cautious to say their love affair is on the grapevine.
