Eden Nine Entertainment, which represents actors Won Bin and Lee Na Young, has denied rumors that the couple is expecting a child and planning a fall wedding. The agency told several Korean media outlets, including My Daily, that the rumors were ridiculous.
"As expected this news is false," said the Eden Nine Entertainment representative. "The two are currently preparing for their next project."
It is not the first time that Eden Nine has denied rumors about the couple. Two years ago the agency denied that the actors were even in a romantic relationship. Eden Nine said that the actors were merely colleagues and friends who were represented by the same agency. Lee Na Young joined the agency in 2011.
But reporters from the Korean media outlet Dispatch camped outside Lee Na Young' s Bundang apartment and caught Won Bin leaving there the morning after he arrived. The photographs they published forced the couple to admit to their relationship. But Won Bin went a step further. He said that not only were he and Lee Na Young dating but that he was in love with her.
The rumors about the coming wedding began when it was reported that designer Ji Choon Hee was creating a special dress for her friend Lee Na Young. One Korean tabloid picked up the rumors, so the agency was forced to deny them.
The agency went on to say that people do tend to make up rumors about celebrity couples. It's part of being a celebrity couple.
"As they're a couple that can't help for receive a lot of attention, it makes sense that they'll be surrounded by these kinds of rumors."
The agency also spoke about the actors preparing upcoming projects. Won Bin has not appeared in a drama since 2002 and his last film role was in the 2010 film "The Man From Nowhere." He won at least eight awards for his role in that film, including Baeksang and Grand Bell Awards. According to a statement released by Eden Nine in February 2015, Won Bin is currently considering a film role.
At the time the agency said that Won and Lee were eager to start acting again.
Lee Na Young has had a few projects since her 2010 drama "Fugitive: Plan B." She appeared in the films "Lady Daddy," "Howling" and "SPEC: Close." She can soon be seen in a short film titled "Sad Scene."
