A Korean footballer and former idol singer have recently been swept up in dating rumours. The youngest member of South Korea’s national football team Lee Kang-in was recently revealed by various Korean media sites as the new beau of former April member Lee Na-eun. The two were allegedly caught on multiple dates in November, especially around the time of South Korea’s match against Singapore for the 2026 World Cup Qualifiers. The qualifying match took place on November 16, 2023, and saw the South Korean team beating Singapore by a clean score of 5-0.

According to the reports from Korean media site The Fact, the duo had been spotted meeting up and spending time alone together in the car park of the football team’s hotel in Seoul. The reports stated that Lee Kang-in and Lee Na-eun had met multiple times, mainly in the idol-turned-actress’ car. The pair were said to have even visited Lee Na-eun’s apartment complex for a date as well.

 

In response to these rumours, Lee Na-eun’s label Namoo Actors has firmly denied the celebrities’ relationship, stating, “We confirmed the relationship between the two, and they said they were no more than friends.” With regards to Lee Kang-in visiting Lee Na-eun’s apartment and their seemingly close relationship, Namoo Actors has said that the 24-year-old actress simply wanted tickets to the football game. 

 

While Lee Na-eun’s management has publicly addressed the rumours, Lee Kang-in has yet to put out any public statement. 22-year-old Lee Kang-in hails from Korea and currently plays for the South Korean national team and for the Paris Saint-Germain F.C. as a midfielder, alongside renowned football athlete Kylian Mbappé.

Lee Na-eun made her debut in 2015 with the girl group April who disbanded in early 2022. The group was known for their cute, girly concepts, and Na-eun was well-loved as the member with a stunning visual presence, which has also led to her career in acting.
