Kim Jong Kook And Yoon Eun Hye Caught In Dating Rumors After Evidence Surfaces

Another piece of evidence suggesting that Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye were once in a romantic relationship has surfaced.

On July 9, 2025 , online communities and social media platforms began circulating two photos claiming that Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye used to go to the same tanning salon. The photos, dated June 10, 2008, show both individuals at the same location on the same day, with handwritten notes reading “Thank you” along with the date.

As this news spread, netizens once again began speculating that the two had dated in the past. Particularly noteworthy was the fact that both left proof shots with identical backgrounds on the exact same date.

Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun Hye have long been embroiled in dating rumors, starting from their appearances on the SBS variety show X-Man, and rumors about their relationship have persisted over the years.

In particular, in 2022, Yoon Eun Hye garnered attention when she shared a dating story on a YouTube video that reminded viewers of Kim Jong Kook.

“In the beginning of a relationship, men text a lot, but over time, the number of texts decreases. That naturally makes women feel disappointed.” She added, “Because my boyfriend texted me less, I wrote down all the texts I received from him in a notebook and gave it to him.”

Once this was revealed, many pointed out the striking similarities to a story Kim Jong Kook shared in 2018 on SBS’s My Ugly Duckling. He even showed the notebook he received as a gift. This further fueled speculation that the two had once dated.

“There was someone who used to write down the texts I sent by hand. My texts got shorter over time.”
