Park Shin-hye and Choi Tae-joon
Despite possibly being together since 2017, Park Shin-hye had only publicly come out with her relationship with fellow actor Choi Tae-joon this June! Since 2017, they'd put in their best efforts to keep their romance away from curious eyes, but it was the paparazzi that caught wind of their relationship and outed their status as a couple. Even so, they've remained together and happy as ever, even making it through the public's criticism of Park Shin-hye being two years older than Choi Tae-joon. In this modern age, do two years really mean anything, anyway? Love wins for these two, that's for sure!

Jung Kyung-ho and Sooyoung
Talk about feeling forever young and in love. Sooyoung turned 30 years old this year, and while you might expect a woman at this point in her life to be a hundred percent comfortable talking about her long-term relationship, that's not the case for Sooyoung. The actress shies away at any mention of Jung Kyung-ho, even if they're known to be pretty affectionate towards each other! They've been together for at least seven years, and one of their favorite ways to shower each other with attention is by sending personalized food trucks to each other's filming locations and sets.

Choi Soo-young (or Sooyoung) became popular as a member of the K-Pop girl group Girls' Generation. She eventually crossed over to acting, with K-Dramas like "So I Married an Anti-Fan," "Tell Me What You Saw," "Man in the Kitchen," "Squad 38," and "Dating Agency: Cyrano."

Shin Min-ah and Kim Woo-bin
Their love story could very well be the subject of a K-Drama. Meeting in 2015 on the set of a commercial, it didn't take long for Shin Min-ah and Kim Woo-bin to sense each other's interest. By 2016, they were officially a couple but just when they thought they'd found stability, Kim Woo-bin was diagnosed in 2017 with nasopharyngeal cancer, a rare disease that affects the head and neck. Clearly, the pair weathered the storm together and have never been happier to be a couple. Rumor has it that they could be thinking of getting married in 2021!

Lee Kwang-soo and Lee Sun-bin
People didn't take Lee Kwang-soo seriously when he announced that he and Lee Sun-bin had become a real couple in 2016. After all, Lee Kwang-soo is most famous for his role in comedy show "Running Man," where he constantly flirts with female guests and proclaims them to be his life's biggest loves. That is, until Lee Sun-bin strolled on over and really did become Lee Kwang-soo's girlfriend. There's really not much to it when it comes to the Lees; they met, fell in love, are doing great, are popular in the media among their fans, and are celebrating their fourth anniversary this year. But despite their relationship's upward trajectory, Lee Kwang-soo jokes that marriage isn't on his mind just yet!

Hyuna and Dawn
How we wish more Korean celeb couples are as open about their relationship as these two! These K-Pop idols have confirmed that they're dating last year. Their confirmation came with some backlash, but it seems those just made their bond stronger. They're said to have been dating since 2006.
