Actor Lee Min-woo has revealed he is dating someone.

On the March 8 episode of SBS’ “My Little Old Boy” (“Miu Sae”), Lee and Kim Seung-su visited Go Joo-won’s home.

Asked about marriage, Lee said his thinking has shifted. “Until last year, I strongly felt I didn’t need to get married, but these days I’m keeping an open mind because I could,” he said.

When Go asked what prompted the change, Lee replied, “Even if I get hit a few times, I’ll be honest. I have a girlfriend right now.”

In the studio, Seo Jang-hoon reacted by asking why Lee was “acting pitiful” on the show.

Kim also challenged him, saying Lee had claimed he did not have a girlfriend when they met in August.

Lee responded that he never said he did not. “I should have asked for your understanding in advance, but I fell short,” he said. Kim shot back, “Then why are you here? Are you here to officially announce you have a girlfriend?” drawing laughter.
