BAE YONG JOON’S EX-GIRLFRIEND LEE SA-GANG IN THE NEWS
The lady who once captured the heart of South Korea's Top Hallyu star Bae Yong-joon, is currently in the news.
Lee Sa-gang (LSG), who studied filmmaking in London, has reportedly directed a couple of MVs recently such as Tataclan's Chopsticks and Fly to the Sky's Drink and Tell. But that's just to whet your appetite. The main reason she has returned to Korea is to make her feature directorial debut! More on that later.
Back in December 2003, Bae Yong-joon revealed to the public that he was dating Lee Sa-gang. The then 23-year-old LSG was on the receiving end of much attention both in Korea and Japan. However, the relationship lasted as long as most Hollywood marriages.
The couple called it quits in the summer of 2004 because of their busy schedules. At that time, LSG was already enrolled in a London film school, so after the break-up, she went to Britain.
Lee, now 28, returned to South Korea last year because she was given the opportunity to direct a movie. The talented lady will not only direct, but will also be penning the script for the film, which is reportedly a melodramatic love story between a top Korean star and a Japanese woman.
Famous ex-boyfriend aside, LSG is making a name of her own. "I got a Master's from the Central St. Martin's college of Art and have been working for various ad agencies in London and France. I have also worked as a model for sportswear companies," LSG revealed.
Apart from that, she also created buzz in the indie circuit with her first short film Sputnik. It was selected as the best student film by the London Film School back in 2002 and was even shown at the BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts).
Now that LSG has returned to her homeland, will she be looking to rekindle the romance with a certain Hallyu superstar? We don't know. But LSG's Papa, Lee Jae-yoon, has spoken up saying that he trusts his daughter to make the right decisions.
Papa Lee said: "He (Bae) was so busy so he could not marry soon and Sa Gang had to wait at least three or four years and she just could not do that. She made the decision. I respect her and I let her make her own life decisions."
