UPDATE: K-Drama star Kim Yoo Jung has directly addressed swirling rumors regarding her alleged romance with co-star Kim Do Hoon during a press conference held on October 30, 2023. The rumors began circulating in September after the two were spotted together at a Vietnam airport, igniting speculation about a private trip post-filming.
At the press event for her upcoming series, Dear X, set to premiere on November 6, 2023, at 6 PM KST on TVING, Kim chose to tackle the dating rumors head-on rather than let her agency handle it. She humorously recalled how she immediately reached out to Kim Do Hoon when the rumors first emerged, stating, “As soon as we talked on the phone, we both laughed for about three minutes straight.”
The initial speculation was sparked by their airport appearance, leading Kim Yoo Jung’s agency to clarify that the entire cast had traveled to Vietnam for a group trip. However, the rumors reignited after a recent Instagram post featuring the two actors together.
During the press conference, Kim noted, “I took it as a positive thing since the rumors meant more eyes would be on Dear X.” The series has garnered significant attention, partly due to the buzz surrounding the rumored relationship.
Director Lee Eun Bok added to the lighthearted atmosphere, jokingly offering to share more photos of the duo to fuel the speculation further. Co-star Lee Yeol Eum chimed in, admitting she found the rumors amusing and unexpected.
The engagement between Kim Yoo Jung and fans at the press conference illustrates the deep connection viewers have with K-Drama stars. With the show’s premiere just a week away, the spotlight is firmly on the cast, and the anticipation is at an all-time high.
As the situation develops, fans and viewers alike are eager to see how the dating rumors may influence the reception of Dear X. Will the buzz propel the show to new heights? Time will tell as more updates unfold in the coming days.
