Actor Lee Dong-geon (46) continues to draw attention day after day with his unpredictable moves.

Lee Dong-geon has been in a two-year acting hiatus since the Pulsepick short-form drama "Love That Is Good for Nothing" last January. While news of his main profession has been scarce, he has found himself at the center of daily headlines due to his loud personal life. In May last year, Lee Dong-geon was swept up in dating rumors with rookie actress Kang Hae-rim, who is 16 years younger. Multiple sightings of Lee Dong-geon and Kang Hae-rim on dates in Seoul Gangnam were reported. Nevertheless, Lee Dong-geon's side at the time held back by calling it a "private matter," leading to a prevailing atmosphere that they had essentially 'admitted' the relationship. This became even more of an issue as it was his first dating rumor since divorcing actress Cho Yoon-hee in 2020 and his sixth public dating rumor. Lee Dong-geon has a daughter born in 2017 with Cho Yoon-hee.

Additionally, Lee Dong-geon opened a cafe in Aewol-eup, Jeju last April, drawing attention as a 'cafe owner.' Complaints from nearby business owners erupted, drawing unusual attention to his challenge of becoming a cafe owner. However, the Jeju cafe operated by Lee Dong-geon recently announced its closure after just one year of operation and revealed plans to reopen in Seoul.

Amid this, Lee Dong-geon once again captured public interest by sharing updates as a 'TikToker.' On the 8th, he held a TikTok live broadcast, urging fans to "join the fan club," actively promoting himself as a 'TikToker.' He also spoke directly about his cafe owner status, saying he was "preparing for business in Seoul." Furthermore, Lee Dong-geon thanked fans, saying, "Thank you for your support."

In addition, Lee Dong-geon faced unfavorable public scrutiny during his joining process of the JTBC couple variety show 'Divorce Reflection Camp.' This happened when existing member Jin Tae-hyun suddenly left, and Lee Dong-geon filled the spot, causing controversy. Although Jin Tae-hyun had played a significant role as the program's central axis, criticism continued that it was not a 'Divorce Reflection Camp' but rather a 'Divorce Encouragement Camp,' especially since Lee Dong-geon joined as a 'divorced man' following MC Seo Jang-hoon.

Amid these negative reactions, Lee Dong-geon has already completed the first recording of 'Divorce Reflection Camp.' The revamped 'Divorce Reflection Camp' is scheduled to air starting in July, and Lee Dong-geon is set to make headlines once again.
