The couple would meet up in Sohee's apartment as one of her neighbors attested to it. An added fuel to the rumor is when Sohee signed a contract with Key East, Kim's talent agency. It came to a point when the rumors talked about them getting married. But later in September of the same year, the agency released a statement that there is no truth about it.
