Back in 2011, MC Kim Hee Chul on MBC "Radio Star" had stated, "SM Entertainment CEO Lee Soo Man had suggested in house dating. He had said that at least it would be more comfortable and easier to block if two people from the same agency were dating."

Was it this statement that created all the SM artist dating rumors and scandals? Recently, many scandals from SM have been occurring.

On February 25, f(x) member Victoria posted a picture on her weibo of food she had cooked. The person's reflection from the spoon in her picture was later revealed to be TVXQ member Changmin. Due to this, a scandal broke out and SM Entertainment stated that if was just a coincidental thing that he was in the picture.

Last year, media released news that TVXQ member Yunho and actress Go Ah Ra were dating. The news article had stated, "The two were good friends for a long time. Go Ah Ra was a big support to Yunho and Yunho, the same to her. With this, the two began to take their relationship to another level." With this scandal, SM reported it to be false as well.

However, the recent scandal between Girls' Generation Sooyoung and actor Jung Kyung Ho is different. The two are not from the same agency. 

Back in December, Sooyoung was caught in a scandal with actor Won Bin as well. Both sides stated it to be false and Sooyoung even stated that it was untrue on a broadcast as well.

With her recent scandal with Jung Kyung Ho, the media stated that the two first met last year in September and later became a couple early this year. However, both sides have stated that the two are just good friends and nothing more.
