Recently, South Korean actor Park Seo-joon was rumored to have a new girlfriend, model and actress Lauren Tsai, who is ten years younger than him. The speculation arose after a Japanese individual encountered Park Seo-joon on the streets of Japan with a woman who was identified as Lauren Tsai. They were seen carrying matching bags, triggering fans’ curiosity.
Some of Park Seo-joon’s friends reportedly followed Lauren Tsai on Instagram, and there were photos of them taken at the same location, fueling rumors of their relationship. Some netizens even speculated that Park Seo-joon might have been introduced to Lauren Tsai through his actor friend Yoo Ah-in.
Lauren Tsai, who holds dual citizenship of the United States and the Republic of China with a diverse ethnic background, gained popularity after appearing as a guest on the Japanese reality show “Terrace House: Aloha State” in 2016. In 2019, she starred as one of the main characters in the third season of the American TV series “Legion” and also played a leading role in the American film “To the Stars”. Her official Instagram account has garnered over 1.03 million followers.
When Park Seo-joon was previously linked with the internet sensation Xooos, both their agencies responded with “it is difficult to confirm artists’ private affairs”. During a press conference for the movie “Concrete Utopia: Armageddon” last year, Park Seo-joon acknowledged the pressure of discussing his personal life publicly and stated that it is his private matter.
Following the news of Park Seo-joon’s romantic involvement with Lauren Tsai, his agency, Awesom Entertainment, stated on the 24th, “Park Seo-joon is currently overseas for a brand event, attending various activities with artists and relevant individuals from different fields. Concerning matters outside of official schedules, it is challenging to confirm details of his personal life, and we hope for everyone’s understanding.”
