UPDATE: K-Drama actress Kim Yoo Jung has directly addressed persistent dating rumors involving her co-star Kim Do Hoon for the first time. At a press conference on October 30, 2023, for her upcoming series Dear X, Kim clarified the situation surrounding speculation that intensified after they were spotted together at a Vietnam airport.
The rumors first sparked in September when Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Do Hoon were photographed without other castmates. Initial assumptions suggested a private trip following the conclusion of their filming schedule. However, Kim Yoo Jung’s agency quickly denied the claims, stating that the entire cast had traveled to Vietnam together for a group outing.
Despite the agency’s efforts, rumors reignited after a recent Instagram post featuring Kim Yoo Jung and her co-star. Instead of issuing another statement, she chose to confront the issue head-on during the press conference. Reflecting on the initial gossip, Kim recalled her quick conversation with Kim Do Hoon, where the two laughed about the rumors for nearly three minutes.
“As soon as we talked on the phone, we both laughed for about three minutes straight,” Kim Yoo Jung shared, emphasizing her lighthearted approach to the situation. Her co-star, Lee Yeol Eum, also expressed surprise at the rumors, stating her only reaction was laughter.
Director Lee Eun Bok joined in on the fun, joking, “I’m willing to provide more photos (of the two of them). I’ve secured about 100 photos that were taken at that time.” Kim Yoo Jung viewed the rumors positively, interpreting them as a sign that more viewers would be interested in Dear X.
The K-Drama is set to premiere on November 6, 2023, at 6 PM KST on TVING, making the actress’s comments even more timely given the show’s upcoming release. With heightened interest in both the series and its stars, fans are eager to tune in and see the on-screen chemistry that has ignited such speculation.
