'Hallyu' stars Won, Lee are dating

Won Bin

Lee Na-young

Actor Won Bin and actress Lee Na-young confirmed they were dating Wednesday, before pleading for privacy because they want to develop their relationship "carefully.’’ Well, good luck with that.

According to management agency Eden 9, which represents both stars, Won and Lee were drawn closer together while making films and shooting commercials.

"They had a lot of opportunities to work as they were from the same management agency,’’ Eden 9 said.

"Their relationship is just in the beginning and both are intent on developing it carefully.’’

Won, a high-demand star in both Korea and Japan, hasn’t appeared in a film since the 2010 hit ``The Man from Nowhere,’’ but has been a ubiquitous presence in television commercials and print ads. Lee, a spokeswoman for the Japanese fashion brand Uniqlo, hasn’t shot a film since ``Howling,’’ a thriller released in February last year.
