Actress Son Ye Jin talks about her dating rumors with "Shark" and "Pirates" co-star Kim Nam Gil.

In a recent interview with news portal "Starnews," actress Son Ye Jin talked about her upcoming film "Pirates," her movie co-star Kim Nam Gil, and the dating rumors surrounding the two of them.

On Kim Nam Gil's personality off-screen, she said, "He's just like Jang Sa Jung, his character in 'Pirates'. He seems cool, but in reality, he's actually talkative and fun to be with. He's also a bit clumsy, but he's really friendly."

She continued, "The image he shows other people isn't actually who he is. I've known him since our drama 'Shark', so I'm really comfortable working with him. In this respect, I think he suits his character well."

Their closeness caused dating rumors between the two actors, and regarding this issue, Son Ye Jin revealed that she didn't entertain the rumor. She explained, "While filming for the movie, I received a call from him. He asked me if I saw the rumors, and I just answered, 'Yes!'."

She added, "Our co-star Park Chul Min joked around that the two of us should get married, but we don't think about it, and we're not going to do it in the future. Kim Nam Gil is someone I want to be with for a long time, but as a friend. He always makes me laugh."

In related news, their film "Pirates" is scheduled to premiere on August 6.
