Bon Appetit, Your Majesty’s Lee Chae Min Defends His Girlfriend With This Sweet Gesture

Bon Appétit, Your Majesty’s lead actor Lee Chae Min is basking in the success of his latest romantic fantasy, which aired on Netflix between August and September. But his rising popularity due to his role in the period romance drama, which featured YoonA, turned sour for him as his real-life girlfriend, actress Ryu Da-In, became the target of hateful comments on social media. This prompted the actor to take matters into his own hands. Lee Chae Min has since silenced naysayers with his recent gesture towards his girlfriend. The couple was spotted enjoying a romantic dinner together. According to the account provided by the restaurant staff on an online community, Chae Min and Da In appeared happy and comfortable in each other’s company. The staff member praised their “visual chemistry”, calling Chae Min “handsome” and his girlfriend “beautiful.” Lee Chae Min Even Prepared Food For His Girlfriend The user further shared that the actor even prepared some savoury pancakes for his girlfriend. “He even personally cooked a pancake (buchimgae) for Ryu Da In. When I shyly asked for an autograph, he kindly said, ‘Of course, as many as you want,’ and was incredibly warm. Ryu Da In was also unbelievably beautiful, to the point where I thought, ‘Not just anyone can be an actor,’” the user mentioned in the post, as quoted by Kbizoom. OP: “He even personally made some 부침개 (buchimgae) for actress Ryu Dain, and when I shyly asked for an autograph, he said it’s totally fine in the sweetest way possible. I was so flustered and excited today that I don’t even know how I managed to work ?” LMAO BYE HATERS 🤪 https://t.co/KUXqDsImvp pic.twitter.com/LVv3ot7ZVB — ᰔᩚ (@ifeyaaa) October 5, 2025 The person even shared the autograph given by Chae Min as proof. The incident reportedly took place after the conclusion of Bon Appétit, Your Majesty, with the couple being spotted at a traditional Korean restaurant in Gwangju, Gyeonggi Province. Lee Chae Min And Ryu Da In’s Relationship Timeline The two actors began dating last year. Lee Chae Min and Ryu Da In, who first met while working on the 2023 romance drama Crash Course in Romance alongside Jang Do Yeon and Jung Kyung Ho, began dating after the show aired. The speculations of their romance first came to light after clips of the duo on a masked date in Seoul’s Seochon neighbourhood surfaced online. In 2024, Chae Min’s then agency, Gold Medalist, and Da In’s agency Aground confirmed their relationship. More recently, the 25-year-old actor also addressed rumours about the couple’s “Lovestagram” posts, where both used similar birthday candles. Chae Min called it a mere coincidence and expressed gratitude to fans for their increased interest in his life. When asked about wearing a couple of rings with Da In at the Bon Appétit, Your Majesty’s wrap-up party, he revealed it was purely a fashion choice.
