These two got involved in a dating rumor after they were spotted at a cafe together.

They both quickly denied the rumors, saying that they were just good friends.

A dating rumor…? I feel so old now that I’ve been involved in a dating rumor.

This is not true. Hee Won sunbae-nim and I met on Hot Young Bloods and Collective Invention. We’re good friends and industry colleagues, though we have an age difference. We do meet up to eat, that part is true. We also drink tea too!!! And when we went to Youngdeok to have steamed crab, the director for Collective Invention came with us… Like… The three of us… T-T Since I don’t have an agency, it is harder for me to get press on these matters. But I thought I could at least clarify like this.

I couldn’t just say, ‘We’re just a close sunbae and hoobae.’ I just felt like it sounded fake. So I just decided to say it’s false. What can I do if people don’t believe me? It’s the truth.
