Another k-drama couple has been involved in a dating scandal. So E Hyun, who appears in "Three Days," with Park Yoochun is said to be dating idol-singer-turned-actor Kim Hyung Jun.
Although the couple previously denied they were dating, this week Sports Seoul reported that the actors have been in a romantic relationship for over a year. The newspaper learned of the relationship through an acquaintance of the couple's and sought confirmation from the actors' agencies.
His agency, SPlus Entertainment, told Sports Seoul that it was true that the two dated but the agency makes a point of not getting involved in their stars' personal lives. Later, however, they told another news source, Edaily, that they had been misquoted by Sports Seoul and needed to confirm the dating rumor with Kim Hyung Jun. Even later they told Money Today and MBN Star that they had spoken with Kim Hyun Joong and he once more denied the rumors. Although the actors remained friends after meeting through the drama, they never dated.
So E Hyun's agency, KeyEast, was guarded from the start. KeyEast representatives said that the actors did meet on the set of the 2012 romantic comedy "My Shining Girl," but as far as they knew were no longer seeing each other. Whether that meant they had ever dated or merely kept in touch was open to speculation.
According to rumors, the actors enjoyed working together on the drama and often met up with the rest of the staff. They became close because they had similar hobbies and liked to talk about acting. She loves his sense of humor. Rumors say all of the couple's friends know about the relationship and have seen them be openly affectionate but that the couple saw no reason to go public with their relationship. And, yes, her agency was partially right in that the couple broke up at one point.
So, whether the couple is dating or not is open to speculation. They have no reason to deny that they are in a relationship except that So E Hyun is about to start a new drama and relationship rumors have been known to affect ratings.
So E Hyun was last seen in the paranormal crime story "Who Are You?" with Ok Taecyeon and Kim Jae Wook. In 2013, Kim Hyung Jun, the youngest member of SS501, appeared in "I Summon You Gold" and "Melody of Love."
