Actors Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun have officially confirmed their romantic relationship, announcing the birth of a new celebrity couple. However, with Lee Do-hyun facing military service, Lim Ji-yeon cannot avoid becoming a "pre-wedding" bride. Attention is focused on whether she will follow in the footsteps of Han Ga-in, Min Hyo-rin, and Kim Yuna.

Lim Ji-yeon and Lee Do-hyun have acknowledged their relationship. Lim Ji-yeon's agency stated, "They are carefully getting to know each other with good feelings while maintaining a close senior-junior relationship. We would appreciate your warm support." Lee Do-hyun also confirmed, "The two are cautiously getting to know each other after developing a fondness for each other as close senior-junior colleagues."

The entertainment industry is abuzz with the news of this couple, who have brought excitement and a rosy atmosphere since the beginning of the year. They have received many congratulations and support. The two actors played the roles of Park Yeon-jin and Joo Ye-jung, respectively, in the globally popular drama "The Glory." Their on-screen collaboration was limited, making the news of their relationship even more surprising.

However, since Lee Do-hyun, born in 1994 and five years younger than Lim Ji-yeon, is due to enlist in the military this year, Lim Ji-yeon will inevitably become a pre-wedding bride. Fans are curious about whether she will choose to wait or move forward with wedding plans.

Lim Ji-yeon is in the same situation as Kim Yuna, who got married last October, but her husband Go Woo-rim has yet to serve in the military. Born in 1995, Go Woo-rim, like Lee Do-hyun, must enlist this year. Go Woo-rim's agency said, "There is no fixed schedule for enlistment yet, but he will serve as per the Ministry of National Defense guidelines."

Some celebrities have already experienced pre-wedding life, including Han Ga-in and Min Hyo-rin. When Han Ga-in married Yeon Jung-hoon, who was 23 at the time, he enlisted in the military just seven months later. Han Ga-in said, "I thought meeting a precious person was more important in the grand scheme of life than delaying marriage for fame or money."

Other representative entertainment stars who have experienced pre-wedding life include Yoon Seung-ah, wife of Kim Moo-yeol; Mina, wife of Ryu Philip; Stephanie, wife of Beenzino; and Kim Tae-hee, wife of Rain.

Lim Ji-yeon is set to meet viewers in a new drama titled "House with a Yard," co-starring actress Kim Tae-hee. Lee Do-hyun will return to the small screen with JTBC's new drama "Bad Mother," which premieres on the 26th.
