SHE is 'immersed in a sea of happiness' with him.
He 'feels like she is a part of (his) life' and that their coupling was 'decreed by heaven'.
These declarations of love were left by Korean actors Lee Seo Jin, 34, and
KimJung Eun, 31, on their respective websites last week.
Their love blossomed on the set of the romantic drama, Lovers.
The declarations on their websites confirmed rumours that have been circulating since late January, after Lovers ended its run in Korea.
On 15 Apr, Jung Eun left a message on her homepage to tell fans that she is basking in love.
'He is a good friend to me and an outstanding role model,' she wrote, according to My Daily.
'It's a fact that we're dating, but there's no way I can tell everyone what stage we are at now, or what plans we have for the future. Just let nature take its own path.'
HIS SIDE
In response, Seo Jin went online the next day with his side of the story and urged fans to support them, reported The Chosun Ilbo.
'With everyone's silent concern, I hope I can protect this destiny that has fallen on me. I think it is decreed by heaven, and I will cherish it.
'There's a saying that love changes your perspective of the world, and the world in my eyes has become so beautiful without me realising it. Or is it just me?'
In Lovers, set to air on StarHub in the third quarter of this year, Seo Jin plays a brooding mafia boss who falls for a vivacious plastic surgeon played by Jung Eun.
It was the first time the two veteran stars worked together, and part of the show was filmed in Hainan island in China last September.
The two continued to meet after filming ended, leading to speculation about a romance.
Apparently, Jung Eun was drawn to her co-star's attentive ways, while he fell for her cheerful nature and maturity.
It helped that they lived 10 minutes' drive from each other , and their mothers reportedly knew each other.
But their managers have long insisted they were only 'good friends'.
Interestingly, it was Jung Eun's assistant who finally confirmed her romance.
She was seen driving Jung Eun and Seo Jin separately to the airport earlier this month. Both were headed for Japan.
After denying that the duo were going for their honeymoon, she added that 'it's a fact' they are dating, and asked the media not to disturb them.
But now that the lovebirds have come clean, the next question will be, 'When will they get married?'
