Lee Min-ho and Park Min-yeong break off six-month relationship

Celebrity couple Lee Min-ho and Park Min-yeong have separated after six months of dating.

Yesterday, Lee's agency, King Kong Entertainment, announced to local media that the two have gone their separate ways but will remain good friends.

The pair met on the set of the drama "City Hunter" and became lovers. They admitted they were seeing one another when paparazzi snapped a photo of them on a date in Cheongdam-dong in southern Seoul. But the couple kept a low profile and remained tight-lipped about their relationship.

Speculation about the break-up surfaced as early as last month when the couple made separate appearances at the KBS and SBS drama awards.

The cause of the break-up is thought to be the stars' busy schedules.

After filming "City Hunter", Park moved on to the KBS drama "Glory Jane". Meanwhile, Lee has been carefully perusing possible future projects and making visits to China, where he is immensely popular.
