Lee Soo Hyuk and Kara's Goo Hara! Best friends? Or lovers?

WHO: Kara's Goo Hara and Lee Soo Hyuk

WHEN: August 11 around 9PM

WHERE: Seoul, Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam-gu in front of a Chinese restaurant

WHAT: Koo Hara and Lee Soo Hyuk spotted with Hong Jong Hyun for a late dinner. Spotted exiting a Chinese restaurant

WHY: Koo Hara and Lee Soo Hyuk were the center of attention with a relationship rumor last July. They were spotted together even in Korea.

HOW: How is their relationship defined? As close friends? Or lovers?

BUT WAIT! According to an e-mail sent by an informant to a news source, someone spotted Goo Hara and Lee Soo Hyuk at an opening ceremony on Tokyo Harajuku Catstreet. As soon as someone recognized Lee Soo Hyuk, Goo Hara took off. The two then were seen walking down the street about 10 meters apart until they were out of sight.

BUT WAIT! THERE'S MORE!

DID THEY CHECK THEIR SURROUNDINGS? Not. At. All. They weren't wearing any kind of disguise. They boldly left the Chinese restaurant after eating dinner there, without even a mask.

DID THEY LOOK TOO FRIENDLY? Alas, Hong Jong Hyun was the dark horse. More than Lee Soo Hyuk, Hong Jong Hyun and Hara seemed friendly with each other. There was consistent chatter. Goo Hara even followed them out of the restaurant.

DID THEY LEAVE IN A HURRY? They weren't in a hurry. They didn't run away. Goo Hara, Lee Soo Hyuk, and Hong Jong Hyun leisurely left the restaurant. They talked until the valet brought the car around.

CONCLUSION: Still pending judgment. If they're close enough to have dinner together in Korea, then meeting in Japan is not unheard of. Not only that, Lee Soo Hyuk is comfortable enough with Hara to be seen with a toothpick in his mouth. In conclusion, there's not enough evidence to say they are dating. If they're close with each other, it's possible for non-lovers to watch a movie together or have a meal together. However, you never know... an "oppa" just might turn into "honey." If so, then we wish you happiness!
