Biographie

Gong began dating actor Ryoo Seung-bum after they grew close on the set of 2001's Wonderful Days; the two had in fact shared one class in elementary school before Gong transferred out. In a rare move for Korean celebrities, the young stars publicly admitted their relationship. The real-life couple again starred together in 2002 comedy Conduct Zero. They broke up in 2003, but remained friends. Gong asked Ryoo to make a cameo appearance in her 2006 film Family Ties as her character's ex-boyfriend, lending a meta component to their scenes. The couple reunited in 2008, and both appeared in Dachimawa Lee (directed by Ryoo's older brother Ryoo Seung-wan), though they did not share any scenes. In 2010 Ryoo made a cameo in Gong's TV series Pasta. Often topping surveys of favorite Korean celeb couples, they shocked fans in 2012 by announcing that they had ended their relationship.

Sports Seoul broke the story in May 2014 that Gong was dating actor Lee Jin-wook, but her agency later confirmed their break-up in September of that same year.
