South Korean footballer Lee Kang-in, who plays for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), is reportedly in a relationship with Park Sang-hyo, an heiress to the Doosan Group. The revelation came from Dispatch, a prominent South Korean media outlet known for uncovering celebrity relationships.
Park Sang-hyo is the daughter of Park Jin-won, Vice Chairman of Doosan Bobcat, and granddaughter of Park Yong-sung, former chairman of Doosan Heavy Industries.The couple is said to have met earlier this year in Paris, where Park is currently studying in graduate school, and Lee is playing for PSG. Their initial connection was facilitated through Lee’s sister during a social event for Koreans in Paris. The two reportedly grew closer while attending PSG matches together, sparking the romance that has now been publicly speculated.
Dispatch released photos showing the pair on dates in Paris, including an outing to a restaurant. The relationship is also rumored to have continued in Korea, where Lee and Park were spotted together at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul in June, attending a game with Lee’s sister.
Their close friends are reportedly aware of their relationship, with some of Lee's former teammates from Valencia following Park on social media, suggesting the couple has been open within their circle.Despite the public attention, neither Lee nor Park has officially commented on the rumors. This news comes after Lee was previously linked to actress Lee Na-eun from the girl group April, though both denied the dating speculation, calling themselves only acquaintances.
