Netizens are expressing disappointment regarding allegations against model and cast member Lee Sang Yoon from the dating show Heart Pairing. Accusations have surfaced suggesting that he was in a relationship during the filming of the show, contradicting its premise of showcasing honest romantic endeavors.
Heart Pairing, which airs weekly on Netflix, Viki, and Kocowa, follows young men and women as they pursue their dreams of marriage while living together and traveling between Seoul and Italy. The series has garnered attention for its exploration of modern romance, but recent claims have raised questions about its authenticity.
According to a whistleblower, Lee Sang Yoon has been in a relationship since 2024 and continued dating his girlfriend during the show’s filming. The informant provided screenshots as evidence, showing Lee liking the woman’s Instagram posts while the production was ongoing. Furthermore, images allegedly feature the couple attending shared locations and activities—such as a G-Dragon concert and various tourist attractions—adding weight to the allegations.
The whistleblower has warned that if Lee denies the claims, additional evidence may be forthcoming. This revelation has shifted focus onto how the production team will respond, particularly as the show is marketed as a serious platform for those considering marriage.
Online communities have reacted swiftly, with the controversial post on TheQoo attracting over 42,000 views and numerous commentary from viewers expressing skepticism about the casting process. Fans have made comments ranging from disparagement of the show’s integrity to curious inquiries about the girlfriend’s understanding of the situation.
As of now, neither Lee Sang Yoon nor the Heart Pairing production team has issued an official statement regarding the allegations.
