Actor Lee Min Ho and actress Park Shin Hye of the recently ended SBS Wednesday Thursday drama "The Heirs" got involved in a dating rumor.
On January 26, 2014, a number of Chinese media delivered the news that actor Lee Min Ho and actress Park Shin Hye who starred together in the recently ended SBS Wednesday Thursday drama "The Heirs" have been going out in secret for two months.
Although a number of new media in China reported this, there has been no evidence for the source, and it has gotten difficult to even look for the primary source of the news. The news media just reported that "Actor Lee Min Ho and actress Park Shin Hye of 'The Heirs' have been going out in secrets for two months," but failed to provide the correct source or pictures that support the claim.
The agencies of actor Lee Min Ho and actress Park Shin Hye expressed that the news was absurd. A person from actress Park Shin Hye's agency said in a phone interview, "Of course this is not true. There is no evidence to support this. I do not know why a news article about Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye's dating relationship had come out in China. We are trying to find out about it ourselves through the agents in China." Lee Min Ho's agency also said, "There has been similar rumors. But this one is not evidenced by facts. I think that people keep talking about the two in that way because they have had a really good relationship as team members of the drama 'The Heirs.'"
In related news, actor Lee Min Ho is invited to the biggest TV show in celebration of the Chinese new year as the first Korean star, and plans to meet his fans in China in the Chinese national TV CCTV's new year special program, which is to be aired live, on January 30, 2013, for over 750,000 estimated audiences.
