Rock band FT Island vocalist Lee Hong-ki said in a radio interview Thursday that he has been coached on dating by actress Park Shin-hye.

“Despite not having many dating experiences, she is more mature than I am (in terms of dating),” he said on KBS FM’s “Park Myung-soo’s Radio Show.” "She gives me a lot of advice about life.”

Lee and Park started their show respective business career as child actors and have maintained a decadeslong friendship.

“We have talked about issues or troubles with dating partners,” he said. “I feel more comfortable speaking with her than my male friends.”

Lee was recently reported to have been dating actress Han Bo-reum.
