She candidly confessed how her boyfriend left her for a gay male celebrity and said, “I once dated a male celebrity.

She shared how her life paused after that, and the actress admitted how she lived like a ghost for a long time. The Train to Busan star said, “It was a huge shock that I couldn’t cope with at such a young age. For a long time after we broke up, I lived like a ghost. I swore to myself that I’d never see either of them again. And to this day, I’ve never once run into them—not even by accident”.
When she talked about this incident, Lee Jung-Hyun maintained the private information of her ex-boyfriend and the gay male celebrity and chose not to delve more into their identities to respect their individual privacy.
