Lee Jong Suk insists that he is not dating miss A singer and actress Suzy Bae. It would be nearly impossible because he never met her.
So, how did this dating rumor happen?
It started with an online post claiming that the Dispatch had photos of the actors together and that they would be released the next day. The rumors naturally spread because the Dispatch is well known for outing dating stars and the celebrities in question are very popular.
But the rumors were not true. The next morning the Dispath denied them saying that they would only be posting photographs of an old photo shoot of Suzy's.
But now that the rumors existed the agencies of both stars felt it necessary to deny them.
A representative from Wellmade Entertainment said that they had confirmed that Lee Jong Suk did not know the actress personally.
"We're receiving inquiries from everywhere including advertisers," said the Wellmade representative. "There are so many stories that are spread without regard for the truth."
Suzy Bae's agency, JYP Entertainment, also made a statement.
"The dating rumors are totally false."
They called the rumors thoughtless and said that they had already caused big damage.
Lee Jong Suk said recently that he is not dating and he has to this point been free of dating scandals. The closest he ever got to a dating rumor was that he was rumored to be dating Kim Woo Bin because the two had such an intense bromance in the drama "School 2013." But it was not true and Kim Woo Bin had a longtime model girlfriend.
Suzy was once briefly involved in a dating scandal when she was photographed out walking with actor Sung Joon, who had his arm around her shoulder. But she insisted that the two "Gu Family Book" co-stars were merely friends.
She was also previously rumored to be dating her 'Dream High" co-star Kim Soo Hyun, but although she admitted that they did get close while filming the drama, they were also only friends.
On the television show "Invincible Youth" she once admitted that she did have a boyfriend. But it turned out to be an imaginary one. She held up her phone and showed the host a photo of Ian Sommerhelder of "Vampire Diaries."
Even if Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk are not dating, someone might consider having them co-star in a drama. They look good together.
Lee Jong Suk recently finished the drama "Doctor Stranger" and is considering a role in "Pinocchio" with co-star Park Shin Hye.
