Lee spotted alone

A fan spotted Lee Hye-young walking alone, probably coming back from picking up her mail at the end of her several mile long driveway, on the afternoon of March 18, 2026. Was she all alone? “Definitely yes,” says the fan, adding that “She was wearing a large sweater and looked really cute!”

Is Hye-young back on the market?

A rep for Lee Hye-young was not immediately available for comment.

Truth or rumor, when news that the actress was splitting hit the internet Thursday (March 19), Twitter immediately exploded with pithy commentary. It seems everyone had an opinion on the matter:

“Has anyone Hye-young’s phone number?”
