After much speculation in the rumor mill, Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin have been confirmed to be dating. What's more, the happy couple have been keeping their relationship secret for the almost two years.

The confirmation came from Namoo Actors. Based on the statement, Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin actors originally worked together in a drama in 2014 and became good friends. It can be recalled that dating rumors first began to surface at the time, which the camps of both actors have denied, Soompi reported.

Namoo further said that Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin maintained their close friendship which developed into a romance sometime at the beginning of 2016. The agency asked for the fans support as the couple go public with their relationship.

"They (Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin) had a lot of similarities as friends and became interested in each other, but they spent a long time confirming those feelings, which is why they are carefully dating," Namoo stated. "Please look upon these two actors fondly as they continue their activities."

According to a report by Koreaboo, Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin originally worked together for the historical drama "Gunman in Chosun" but it was the fans who immediately noticed the strong chemistry between the actors. Dating rumors started as early as June 2015 when they were spotted several times stepping out with their friends which was denied by their reps.

Dating rumors resurfaced in August of the same year when the ultra private couple were spotted wearing the same necklace leading fans to believe that it was a couple necklace. Namoo Agency debunked the rumors and said that they have not received confirmation from Lee Joon Gi and Jeon Hye Bin that they were together. Now, that they have finally received the confirmation, it seems that rumors will finally die down and it is hoped that the couple will finally enjoy their relationship away from speculation.
