Lovelyz’s Mijoo Reportedly In A New Relationship, “Evidence” Now Deleted

On July 25, 2025 (KST), Tenasia reported that Lovelyz member Lee Mijoo is in a new relationship with Hanwha Eagles’ baseball player Lee Jin Young.

According to Tenasia‘s exclusive, the idol and the athlete were confirmed to be dating after Lee Jin Young’s now-deleted social media post initially sparked rumors. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that a lamp captured in Lee Jin Young’s Instagram post celebrating his birthday on July 21 seemed the same as the one shown in Lee Mijoo’s recent YouTube video showing her house.

The dating news is now deemed more convincing given Lee Mijoo’s open support for the Hanwha baseball team, especially Lee Jin Young. She was seen in an “Eagles TV” YouTube video mentioning how she’s a fan of Lee Jin Young and that she “likes” him.

I’m player Lee Jin Young’s fan. I like him…

— Lee Mijoo

Previously, in April 2023, Mijoo had gone public with her relationship with soccer player Song Bum Keun. However, breakup rumors surfaced nine months later, in January last year. While her agency refrained from commenting, citing her privacy, Mijoo subtly acknowledged the breakup by confirming her single status on various shows. She officially confirmed the split on her YouTube channel recently.
