Since Lee Do-hyun is the male lead in The Glory and Lim Ji-yeon is the “villain,” many were surprised when they revealed themselves to be in a reel-to-reel relationship. Lee Do-hyun is five years younger than Lim Ji-yeon. On April 1, 2023, the couple formally announced their romance after Dispatch saw them out on a date. The 34-year-old actress, who is currently filming the movie Revolver, was recently questioned about her lover Lee Do-hyun, who is presently in the military.
In response, Lim Ji-yeon stated on his behalf, “He’s doing well.” She said how much she values their relationship and said she hoped he would stay well while serving in the military. They were able to meet and converse at the 60th Baeksang Arts Awards despite not being able to go on dates because of the 29-year-old actor’s military service. Her encounters with Lee Do-hyun were very pleasant, and he didn’t hesitate to thank her in public. Lim Ji-yeon responded that their connection is already well known and that there is nothing she could do about it when asked if she felt under pressure for it to be made public. Lim Ji-yeon, who works in the same field as her, has expressed her gratitude for finding someone who is constantly encouraging and doesn’t interfere with her work.
