In the drama, they were embarrassed, but in real life, they were lovers.

Im Ji-yeon (33) and Lee Do-hyun (28), who starred in the Netflix drama "The Glory," fell in love. On the 1st, the entertainment media Dispatch captured the scene of the couple's date and reported on the rumors of dating.

After the report, Lim Ji-yeon's agency Artist Company and Lee Do-hyun's agency Yuehua Entertainment acknowledged the fact of their relationship, saying that "the two have good feelings and are at the stage of getting to know each other carefully."

In "The Glory", Lim Ji-yeon played "Park Yeon-jin", a perpetrator of school violence, and Lee Do-hyun played "Joo Yeon-jeong", a helper who helps school violence victim "Joo Dong-eun". The two, who did not have many scenes together in the drama, became close towards the end of filming, and it is known that their relationship developed through drama workshops.

In the drama, they were close to being angry, but in real life, they were more affectionate than any lover. The two of them, who are an older couple, enjoyed dating whenever they didn't have a schedule, and even visited the Yongin Natural Recreation Forest to spend a happy time.
