It was also reported that Davichi member Kang Min Kyung was responsible for setting the two up since they were seen many times in gatherings. The rumors stated that Kim Jonghyun and Lee Yu Bi were mostly seen together in the Gangnam area, holding hands while on dates. The rumors were immediately crushed on all ends by the representatives in the agencies of all of the people involved in the rumor. Sidus HQ, Lee Yu Bi's agency, stated that "They are just good friends. They are on very friendly terms, but they are definitely not dating."
