UPDATE: K-Drama actress Kim Yoo Jung has directly addressed the swirling dating rumors involving her and co-star Kim Do Hoon for the first time, creating a media frenzy just days before the premiere of their new series. During a press conference on October 30, 2023, for her upcoming TVING K-Drama, Dear X, Kim shared her candid thoughts on the speculation that has captivated fans since September.
The dating rumors ignited after the two were spotted together at a Vietnam airport, raising eyebrows as they were without their fellow castmates. Fans speculated that the duo had taken a private trip post-filming. Although Kim Yoo Jung’s agency quickly denied these claims, clarifying that the entire Dear X team had traveled to Vietnam for a scheduled group trip, the rumors resurfaced following a recent Instagram post featuring the actors.
Instead of relying on another statement from her agency, Kim took the opportunity at the press conference to set the record straight. She recounted the moment she first heard the rumors, revealing, “I spoke with Kim Do Hoon almost right away. That was after we had finished the Busan International Film Festival schedule for Dear X and everyone had just dispersed. As soon as we talked on the phone, we both laughed for about three minutes straight.”
The lighthearted comments continued, as Kim joked about the situation with director Lee Eun Bok, suggesting that the unexpected attention might actually benefit the drama. Lee humorously added, “I’m willing to provide more photos (of the two of them). I’ve secured about 100 photos that were taken at that time.” Co-star Lee Yeol Eum also shared her surprise at the rumors, expressing that she could only laugh at the situation.
Kim Yoo Jung took the rumors in stride, viewing them as a positive sign that would draw more viewers to Dear X. The series is set to premiere on November 6, 2023, at 6 PM KST on TVING. With the anticipation building, fans are eager to see if the dating speculation translates into heightened interest for the show.
As these developments unfold, fans and followers are left buzzing about both the drama and the dynamic between the two stars. Stay tuned for more updates as Dear X approaches its debut, and watch for any new insights from Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Do Hoon that could further impact this trending topic.
