South Korean actor, Lee Dong Wook, is all set to be back on our screen with his upcoming rom-com movie, Single In Seoul. The 42-year-old actor has received massive appreciation from the audience for his role in the 2016 K-drama, Guardian: The Lonely And Great God, as the ‘Grim Reaper, Wang Yeo’ and then in the 2020 fantasy-romcom, Tale Of The Nine-Tailed as the ‘Gumiho, Lee Yeon’.
Although Lee Dong has been in Korean showbiz for over two decades and has worked on innumerable K-dramas, but the above two series shot him to immense popularity. Unlike his professional front, the actor has never spoken much about his love life. His relationship with Bae Suzy is the only known romance of his life.

Lee Dong Wook will be appearing on the silver screen with Im Soo Jung in the film, Single In Seoul, which will be released on November 29, 2023. The two are caught up with interviews and promotional events for their film. In one of such interviews, the 42-year-old actor shared previously unheard details pertaining to his personal life.
In an interview with Koreaboo, Lee Dong Wook spoke about his single life and also joked about the reason why his love radar is not working properly anymore. He said that he has been single for so long that it has made him comfortable now being alone. Just like his character in his upcoming movie, the actor is enjoying his single life. He said:
"I have become too comfortable with being alone. I guess it’s because I’ve become used to it, but I’m sure it’ll work out.”
Lee Dong Wook relates a lot with his character ‘Park Yeong Ho’ from his upcoming movie, Single In Seoul, as he has a long list of reasons why he does not want to fall in love. While people always wish to find their ‘one’ in life, the actor stated quite a few reasons why he is better off being a single man. He revealed:
“Everything about it. I am not controlled by anyone. My schedule is very unorthodox; I eat lunch at three and dinner at nine. If I had to eat with someone, it would be uncomfortable for both of us. These things make it more comfortable for me to be single.”

In another interview with Kbizoom, the 42-year-old actor also revealed that he is not overly affectionate but is a gentle person. His ideal type is someone who would not require much understanding and with whom Lee would communicate well. He further added:
“When dating, I think it’s important for humour codes to match well. Looking back, I was happiest when I was dating people with whom I could communicate well.”
According to Kbizoom, Lee Dong Wook even had hearty laughter regarding his old and dying ‘dating cells’ due to his prolonged single life. He also revealed that shooting Single in Seoul felt like rehabilitation. Dong Wook further explained that dating is not a ‘priority’ in his life right now, but rather working hard and enjoying life is. When asked about his wedding plans, the actor said:
"I do have thoughts about wanting to get married, but I don’t think I’m mature enough to establish a family yet. Even so, I can’t register with marriage information agencies or actively go on blind dates. My life is predictable, so that’s probably why I’m in this situation right now.”
