Recently, rumors of a romantic relationship between actors Kim Yoo-jung and Kim Do-hoon surfaced, prompting a swift denial from Kim Yoo-jung’s agency. On September 20, a representative from her management team clarified the situation to Xports News, stating that the two actors had taken a trip together with their drama team after filming for ‘Dear X’ wrapped up. The agency emphasized that the rumors of a romantic involvement were unfounded.
The speculation began when a photo of a woman, allegedly resembling Kim Yoo-jung, was shared on social media, showing her alongside Kim Do-hoon. A netizen claimed to have seen Kim Do-hoon on a flight, which fueled the dating rumors further. The woman in the photograph was wearing a mask, making it difficult to identify her. However, some noted that her outfit closely resembled one Kim Yoo-jung had previously posted on her social media accounts.
In the photo, the woman wore shorts and a shirt over a tank top, and she was seen carrying a green bag on top of her suitcase, which matched Kim Yoo-jung’s style from her earlier posts. Despite the initial excitement surrounding the potential romance, the clarification from Kim Yoo-jung’s agency, confirming the trip was simply a team outing, effectively put the dating rumors to rest.
Both actors are currently working on the upcoming Tving original series ‘Dear X’, which tells the story of a woman named Baek A-jin, played by Kim Yoo-jung, who dons a mask to escape from hell and strives to rise to the highest place. The series is set to premiere on November 6, adding to the public’s interest in both actors.
Why it matters: The swift response from Kim Yoo-jung’s agency highlights the importance of addressing rumors in the entertainment industry, especially when they can impact the careers and public perceptions of the individuals involved.
