Reps For SHINee's Jonghyun And Actress Lee Yu Bi Deny Rumors The Duo Are Dating

K-pop fans were on full-alert when reports began circulating that SHINee's Jonghyun and actress Lee Yu Bi are dating. Information quickly came out by the agencies for both, denying the dating rumor by stating that they are just really "close friends."

What Their Agencies Said

Lee's agency, which is "Sidus HQ," told Xports News, "They are just good friends. They are on very friendly terms, but they are definitely not dating." Sidus HQ further stated, "The dating rumor had been around for a while so we checked up on it and found that the two are indeed close but have not become a couple."

Just after a few minutes, Jonghyun's agency which is "SM Entertainment," stated, "It is not true. They are just friends among the group of people born in 1990 that meet up for gatherings."

Person Who Spread The Rumor

So who was the person who initiated this rumor? It was Kang Min Kyung, who was believed to be the "match maker." Once reportsd began circulating, Kang's agency Core Contents Media told Newsen:

"The report stating that Kang Min Kyung connected SHINee's Jonghyun and actress Lee Yu Bi in this dating rumor is completely false. It is true that Kang Min Kyung is good friends with Lee Yu Bi. However, Kang Min Kyung was taken aback by this baseless report about her playing the role of match maker."
