‘Just Say That You’re Close Acquaintances’ - Stars Who Denied Romantic Relationships In 2014

On March 24th Kim Suk Hoon and Lee So Yeon were wrapped up in a relationship rumor, but both sides denied romance, saying, "They're just close acquaintances. Both have very social personalities, and were very friendly on set. That's why there's a misunderstanding. They are just colleagues."

In continuation of last year, there have been relationship rumors for many stars this year (so far). The only couples to confirm their relationships were Girls' Generation's Yoona and Sooyoung, who are dating Lee Seung Gi and Jung Kyung Ho, respectively. Other couples are prone to saying that they're merely close acquaintances. Let's take a look at the couples who were caught in the relationship rumor so far in 2014.

Gun Il & Kang Jiyoung

On January 20th KARA's Kang Jiyoung and Supernova's Gun Il were rumored to be dating. That very same day, a rep from Supernova's agency told TV Report, "While it is true that Gun Il and Kang Jiyoung maintain a close relationship, their friendship has nothing to do with Kang Jiyoung's departure from her team."

The rep continued, "These two filmed a Japanese drama together. They attend each other's concerts and support one another. We think that's why Japanese media reported such a relationship as being a romantic one." They starred in a Japanese drama together in 2012.

Kang Jiyoung has announced her departure from KARA, and will be pursuing her academic and acting careers when her contract with DSP Media expires in April.

Lee Min Ho & Park Shin Hye

On January 26th SBS "The Heirs" stars Lee Min Ho and Park Shin Hye were swept up in a relationship rumor. Several Chinese media sources reported that the couple had been dating secretly for two months, and were still dating.

However, both agencies seemed flabbergasted at this rumor. A rep from Park Shin Hye's agency stated, "It's definitely not true. There's no validity to that story. We don't understand why this kind of report came out from China."

Lee Min Ho's agency rep stated, "There was a rumor like this before, too. But it's an article that hasn't been verified. We think this kind of rumor arose because their teamwork in the drama is so great."

Jonghyun & Lee Yoo Bi

There were many relationship rumors in January. On the 29th, SHINee's Jonghyun, who debuted with the group in 2008 and has since been showing great presence in entertainment programs, and "Gu Family Book" actress Lee Yoo Bi were reported to be dating.

A rep Jonghyun's agency SM Entertainment stated, "The rumor that he's dating Lee Yoo Bi is definitely not true. They just meet one another at friends' gatherings." Lee Yoo Bi's agency Sidus HQ's one rep stated, "We asked the actress herself, and the relationship rumor is not true. They're just friends that meet each other at friends' meetings," and vehemently denied the rumor. Lee Yoo Bi is currently acitng as the MC for SBS' "Inkigayo."

Kim Hyung Jun & So Yi Hyun

Actress So Yi Hyun and SS501 singer turned actor Kim Hyung Jun starred in "My Shining Girl" (aka "Sunshine Girl") together. On March 3rd it was reported that the two had been dating for over a year now. However, again both sides denied their relationship.

So Yi Hyun's agency Key East stated, "So Yi Hyun and Kim Hyung Jun met while working on the same drama, and are close acquaintances They are not dating. While it is true that they first came to know each other while filming 'My Shining Girl,' they're no more than colleagues." A rep from Kim Hyung Jun's agency S Plus Entertainment stated the same, saying, "It's true that he's close with So Yi Hyun, but they've never dated."

So Yi Hyun is currently starring in SBS drama "Three Days," and Kim Hyung Jun is starring in KBS drama "Melody of Love."

Tyler Kwon & Jessica

On March 13th Jessica was the 3rd Girls' Generation member to be reported as dating (this year). However SM Entertainment denied the rumor, saying, "We verified with Jessica, and she said she is just close with Tyler Kwon. They're not lovers."

Earlier that day one media source reported that the two had been dating since last year. Tyler Kwon is a business major of the University of Michigan, and is the CEO of New York-based investment company Coridel Capital Partners. It's also been made known that he's also close with Big Bang's Seungri, model and actor Lee Soo Hyuk, Girls' Generation's Hyoyeon, and Jessica's younger sister and f(x) member Krystal.

Shim Soo Chang & Yoo So Young

Last week on the 20th, girl group After School member and actress Yoo So Young and professional baseball player Shim Soo Chang's relationship rumor surfaced. One media reported that according to several celebrity reps, Yoo So Young and Shim Soo Chang were found to be dating for several months now.

According to the article, the two went on a date in Japan when Shim Soo Chang was there for training. Yoo So Young's agency PF Entertainment simply stated, "We apologize," and a rep from Lotte Giants' side stated, "It's not true. They've never even met in Japan, so we don't understand why this kind of article would be published," and denied the rumors. Yoo Soyoung is currently appearing in SBS drama "You're Only Mine" (aka "Only My Love").
