Best known for his performance in the Taxi Driver K-Drama franchise, Lee Je Hoon is one of the most popular actors in South Korea right now.

His irresistible visuals, commendable acting skills, and charming off-screen personality make him the man of everyone’s dreams. In fact, his on-screen chemistry with his female leads has also often led fans to”shipping” him with his co-stars, including Suzy (Architecture 101) and Pyo Ye Jin (Taxi Driver and Taxi Driver 2).

But unfortunately for those fans, Lee Je Hoon has expressed complete disinterest in dating any of his colleagues from the industry.

The actor appeared as a guest on the YouTube channel called Aglory, where he was joined by multiple hosts, including filmmaker Jang Hang Jun. During one of the conversations, a host revealed that when she reached out to Lee’s close actor-friend Park Jeong Min to get some fun details about his dating life for the interview, Park left her shocked, saying that Lee Je Hoon has always steered clear of anything scandalous.
