Since actor Lee Jung Jae confirmed his relationship with heiress Lim Se Ryung, reporters have been close paying attention to their comings and goings. The fact that they visited the villa owned by Big Bang's T.O.P. led to rumors that they were using his home to meet secretly. YG Entertainment denies this, saying the actor is a close friend of T.O.P.'s and often visits him at home, bringing along his girlfriend.
The rumors began when the Korean media outlet Dispatch reported that,"Lee Jung Jae and Lim Se Ryung have enjoyed dates at a close hoobae's house. This place is known as the "love house of top stars."
Another media outlet Star Today strengthened those rumors when they interviewed a neighbor who had seen the couple enter the P Villa where T.O.P. lives on more than one occasion. T.O.P purchased the four-bedroom, three-bathroom villa late in 2010.
T.O.P. is known to like entertaining there. As his fame makes it difficult for him to eat out, he prefers to invite his friends over for dinner and drinks. According to a representative from YG Entertainment T.O.P does not like to leave his house outside of official schedules so many close celebrity friends come to his house to see him. That includes fellow actors and the other members of Big Bang.
"Everyone already knows that T.O.P is close with Lee Jung Jae and his visits with Lim Se Ryung had no intention other than visiting T.O.P. It is extremely unfair to give his house a weird atmosphere by calling it a "Love House" or "Guest House" and T.O.P himself seems flustered and frustrated. His house is also under renovation and we plead you not to portray his home in a negative manner."
T.O.P. and Lee Jung Jae are close friends. They have been seen together in other locations. Lee Jung Jae has publicly praised the singer-actor's singing and acting ability.
It was only last week that Dispatch reports encouraged Lee Jung Jae to admit that he dated Lim, an executive board member at Daesang Group and the ex-wife of the Samsung Group heir. The couple denied being romantically involved for five years.
Dispatch reporters saw the couple enjoying brunch at a restaurant owned by Lim Se Ryung. After the brunch, they were then seen heading toward Lee Jung Jae's home. The media outlet's reporters say they saw Lim Se Ryung visiting Lee Jung Jae's home more than three times in a week.
According to his agency they were originally friends but the relationship recently evolved into a romantic one.
