Pinggyego, Yoo Jae-suk's YouTube show, featured Lee Dong-wook on August 13. Lee Dong-wook said that he felt he could no longer date after confessing about the difficulties he had in his dating life on this day.
Dong-Wook is currently single. The relationship between Lee Dong-wook and Bae Suzy was the only one confirmed by their agencies since Dong-Wook made his acting debut in 1999. That relationship ended in 2018.
According to rumors, Lee Dong-wook has dated several women during his acting career. Dong-wook said he wished to date but was too lazy. Following that, the actor disclosed the largest obstacle in his romantic life.
"I don’t think I can date anymore. I’m so lazy. To date you have to become friends with someone. I don’t remember how to do that anymore, it’s been so long."
While some fans related, others were sad for him.
"This is so real. I am in same situation too" said one fan.
"Why this is so funny n sad at the same time." commented another.
"That is... sad. Not the "not dating anymore" part because I see no problem with it, but the part were he says he don't know how to befriend someone anymore." said another.
"this is so relatable especially for introverts. It’s takes so much to open up and trust someone and then it doesn’t work out back to square 1" responded another.
"he's so me, I fear I don't have it in me anymore" reacted another.
"Out of all the reasons kcelebs give on why they are single or don't date, this has got to be the most realistic and relatable." said another.
Lee Dong-wook complains of a lack of attention from Jo Se-ho
Jo Se-ho's busy wedding preparations have prevented Lee Dong-wook from spending any time with the comedian, which has left him disappointed. Jo Se-ho announced earlier in January that he was officially dating and that he intended to wed his fiancée, whom he has been seeing for nine years. In the same episode of Yoo Jae-suk's YouTube show, Dong-wook disclosed that it had been a long time since he heard the name Jo Se-ho.
He revealed the comedian had not met him in more than a month. Yoo Jae-suk and the other guests laughed at it and questioned him about why he was upset about Jo Se-ho's wedding. The actor responded to this by saying that he felt a little ignored because the comedian had been so busy.
