A popular Japanese media source Nikkan Sports published on the 23rd, "It was revealed on the 22nd that Korean actor Bae Yong Joon is seriously dating a 27-year old non-celebrity lay person."

A Key East rep stated, "It's true that he's been seeing a Korean woman for 3 months now. We want to be careful since they're still in their early stages of dating, but as much as they are getting along in age, we want to say that the two are pursuing a serious relationship."

The rep continued, "It's also true what's been reported about the woman. However since she is a layperson, we don't want to release any more specific information about her."

About the relationship the rep said, "The couple are cultivating a nice and serious relationship. They were introduced to each other through an acquaintance, and have naturally grown close. Since then they've been pursuing a positive relationship. Please keep an affection eye out for them."

According to the Nikkan Sports article, Bae Yong Joon met the woman several months ago when they gathered to eat. That's when he met the non-celebrity woman, who is 14 years his junior. Nikkan Sports wrote, "It's already been 10 years since he starred in the big hit drama 'Winter Sonata.' This super star has finally found love," and posted it to their front page.

He was with his girlfriend when he visited them in Japan for their wedding on November 28th. They also attended a banquet on December 1st in Saitama City, and were spotted near Tokyo dining and shopping. On December 4th they returned back to Korea through Haneda Airport, and the couple both wore black couple hats.

Nikkan Sports reported, "According to a Korean source that is close to the couple, Bae Yong Joon's girlfriend is the daughter of a famous Korean business leader. At 170cm she is a tall beauty that matches Bae Yong Joon, who stands at 180cm. Right now she's living in Seoul, but her English is good because she's lived in America for a long time. She is reported to have a bright and vibrant personality. After they were introduced to each other through the acquaintance, they secretly started to date, and carefully developed their relationship," and wrote about the woman's profile and how they came to be in a relationship.
