Lee Tae-gon Reveals He's Dating, Says He Fell in Love at First Sight

Actor Lee Tae-gon has revealed that he is currently in a relationship.

On the episode of tvN STORY's entertainment show 'What Are You Doing Leaving It Behind?' that aired on the 12th, Lee Tae-gon appeared as a guest and shared his recent life updates.

During a meal, when Lee Young-ja asked, "You're not married, but are you currently dating?" Lee Tae-gon readily replied, "I have a girlfriend." Park Se-ri, noticing a ring on his left ring finger, asked if it was a couple ring, to which Lee Tae-gon proudly confirmed, "This is the first time I've ever worn one," boasting about the ring.

Speaking about his girlfriend, whom he has been dating for about a year, Lee Tae-gon shared, "She's a civilian. An acquaintance told me, 'I think you'll really like her,' and introduced us." He confessed, "For several years, I couldn't find anyone I liked, but the moment I saw her, I knew, 'She's the one,'" admitting he fell in love at first sight and actively pursued her.

He further expressed his affection, recalling the moment: "The instant I said 'Hello,' I knew. I felt it in my heart. She just came in. Into my heart." When Park Se-ri inquired, "Maybe she didn't fall for you at first sight?" Lee Tae-gon responded with a laugh, "She told me she was scared of me at first. But we talked for three hours, and she said it was so much fun."

Notably, when asked about the age difference, he began by saying, "There's a bit of one," and when pressed if it was around 10 years, he vaguely replied, "It's about that much," drawing attention. He added, "If there's good news, I'll tell you all about it without you even asking," hinting at future marriage plans.

Following the broadcast, netizens reacted with enthusiastic congratulations and support, with comments like: "Lee Tae-gon is finally dating!", "Hoping for marriage!", and "A 10-year age gap is quite something... Wishing you happiness!"
