Popular Korean actor Lee Dong-wook, known for his iconic role as the Grim Reaper in the 2016 fantasy romance drama, Goblin, is currently single and he has now shared the reason why. Despite his immense popularity in the Korean entertainment world, the star has chosen to stay away from romantic relationships. He, recently, opened up about this part of his personal life and why he isn’t dating. The actor made an appearance on Yoo Jae-suk’s YouTube show, Pinggyego. During the show, the 42-year-old, who has been a guest multiple times in the past, was asked if he wanted to date. His response to the question surprised everyone. Rather than giving a typical answer, Dong-Wook revealed that he’s “too lazy" to date, which he considers the biggest obstacle in his love life.
“I don’t think I can date anymore. I’m so lazy. To date, you have to become friends with someone. I don’t remember how to do that anymore, it’s been so long," Lee Dong-wook admitted during the episode aired on August 13.
