Football Star Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo Officially Dating? Couple Spotted on Paris Date

Dating rumors surrounding South Korean national football player Lee Kang-in (23, Paris Saint-Germain) and Park Sang-hyo (25), the fifth-generation heir of Doosan Group, appear to be confirmed following their recent public appearances.

Last September, a media outlet first reported that Lee and Park met in Paris earlier that year and developed a romantic relationship. While both parties remained silent at the time, paparazzi photos taken recently in Paris have lent significant credibility to the rumors.

Lee, currently playing for Paris Saint-Germain, resides in the French capital. Park is also reportedly pursuing her graduate studies in France. Their connection reportedly began when Lee's older sister introduced them through a Korean community gathering in Paris. They are said to have grown closer naturally after attending PSG matches together.

Previously, in February, photos surfaced of the couple dining intimately at a restaurant and walking arm-in-arm, drawing public attention. More recently, a video of Lee and Park on a date at a luxury watch boutique in Paris, captured by a foreign fan and shared on social media, went viral.

The footage shows Lee, escorted by bodyguards, walking to his Ferrari. He demonstrated chivalry by opening the passenger door for Park. While acknowledging fans with a wave, he appeared mindful of Park's comfort, drawing further admiration.

Though they have remained silent on the dating rumors until now, these recent public sightings suggest the couple has effectively transitioned into an open relationship.

Netizens are reacting positively, with comments such as "Lee Kang-in and Park Sang-hyo look so good together," "It's heartwarming to see young love," and "Wishing them a sweet time in Paris."
