When celebrities start dating or fall in love, they usually take pains to hide their relationships from the public eye. It's hard enough having a relationship, but it's even harder when the media is following your every move.

With rumors abound on the Internet, celebrities are using their personal homepages to directly address the facts and announce their romantic relationships.

Actress Kim Jeong-eun and actor Lee Seo-jin are the latest star couple to go public with their romance by posting messages on their individual homepages.

In a message posted on her homepage last Sunday, Kim said she is now "standing in the middle of happiness" and described Lee as her best friend.

Movie stars Jo Seung-woo and Kang Hye-jeong have split up after three years, their management agencies said.

Jo and Kang were believed to be in a solid relationship. Most celebrity couples tend to avoid having their relationship in the media spotlight, but the pair frequently showed up together in public places without hiding their relationship.

Jo's agency said that lately the actor has been spending time alone while Kang's agency said that she has been on a short break.

The news comes as a shock even though speculation of their breakup had spread early last year. Kang didn't attend Jo's recent performance in the musical "Rent", which started on Jan. 7 in Taehangno, Seoul.

Their relationship was first announced in 2004. Since then, they have openly expressed their affection toward each other. In various awards ceremonies, the pair often gave honor to one another.

The real-life lovers starred as a couple in last year's melodrama "Love...

At first glance, it is hard to describe actress Kang Hye-jeong's mysterious charms. When you go through her films, it may be even be harder.

But when you take a careful look, you realize that she has both the girl and the woman in her face. It is a characteristic that is distinctively her own and one that has allowed the 23-year-old actress to explore a range of characters in her comparatively short acting career.

Her characters range from a teenage girl to a 29-year-old woman. She plays a budding young woman in the mega-hit "Old Boy" (2003), an innocent and naïve girl in "Welcome to Dongmakgol" (2005) and she took on the role of a woman who lived a life full of inner pain in "Rules of Dating" (2005).

So it may not be so surprising to learn that her next role is that of a 20-year-old woman with the intelligence of a seven-year-old girl in the new film "Herb".

But Kang, who seems to have enjoyed challenging herself to play bold and convinci...
