Personal Life
Ryu began dating actress Gong Hyo-jin 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, and Ryu made a cameo appearance in Gong's film Family Ties in 2006. The couple reunited in 2008, and both appeared in Dachimawa Lee, though they did not share any scenes. In 2010 Ryu made a cameo in Gong's TV series Pasta, and he complimented her in an interview in 2011. Often topping surveys of favorite celeb couples, they shocked fans in 2012 by announcing that they had ended their relationship.
