"Squid Game" star Lee Jung-jae, 53, was photographed in Paris during a romantic outing with his girlfriend, Lim Se-ryung, 48, vice chairwoman of Daesang Group.

U.S. entertainment outlet Splash News released on Saturday photos of the couple strolling through Place Vendome in the French capital.

Lee was seen dressed casually in a gray coat and hoodie, his face partially covered by a mask, while Lim opted for a chic look with a long coat, knit sweater, and black leather pants, leaving her face uncovered.

The outlet reported that the couple appeared to enjoy a relaxed and romantic walk through the historic square.

This marks the second recent sighting of the pair. On Dec. 30, U.S. entertainment outlet Backgrid photographed them enjoying a beach date, displaying their close bond.

Since going public with their relationship in 2015, Lee and Lim have been seen together at major events, including the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and the Emmy Awards, cementing their status as one of Korea’s most high-profile couples.

Lim is the eldest daughter of Lim Chang-wook, the honorary chairman of Daesang Group, a conglomerate in condiments and food manufacturing. She previously married Samsung Electronics Vice Chairman Lee Jae-yong in 1998. The couple divorced in 2009 and share joint custody of their two children. Following the divorce, Lim began working in her father’s business management.
