There has been a lot of talk about a potential romantic relationship between actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lim Na-young, who was previously a member of the group I.O.I. These rumors initially gained attention in Taiwan and were sparked by the fact that the two were spotted attending a music festival in Incheon together. However, both individuals quickly addressed and dismissed the speculation surrounding their alleged relationship.

According to a report from ETtoday on the 10th, Kim Soo-hyun and Lim Na-young were both spotted attending the ‘2024 Ultra Music Festival Korea’ on the 7th and appeared to have a close relationship. A festival attendee shared a video showing the two standing next to each other and having a good time. In the clip, Kim Soo-hyun was casually dressed in a black baseball cap while standing beside Lim Na-young, and the two were seen whispering to one another.

In addition, this report quickly circulated within the country, leading to immediate denials from the agencies representing both Kim Soo-hyun and Lim Na-young.

On the 11th, representatives from both Kim Soo-hyun’s agency Gold Medalist and Lim Na-young’s agency Mask Studio denied the rumors of a romantic relationship between the two.

It appears that the dating rumors surrounding Kim Soo-hyun and Lim Na-young were the result of a misunderstanding. Their chance encounter, where they were seen whispering and enjoying the festival together, was blown out of proportion and sparked the sudden dating rumors.

Amidst the broadcast of the drama “Queen of Tears,”actress Kim Sae-ron caused a stir by sharing an old selfie with Kim Soo-hyun on social media, leading to speculations of a romantic relationship between the two. This stirred up further dating rumors for Kim Soo-hyun, who was already recently embroiled in similar rumors with Kim Sae-ron.

Despite the sudden dating rumors, Kim Soo-hyun continues to experience a peak in his career and gain significant popularity. His recent role as Baek Hyun-woo in the hit drama “Queen of Tears”has been well-received, with fans praising his chemistry with co-star Kim Ji-won, who portrayed Hong Hae-in. This has garnered him a lot of love and attention.

Lim Na-young first gained attention as a member of the project group I.O.I, which she joined through the audition program “Produce 101″on Mnet. Since then, she has made a name for herself as an “acting idol”by starring in numerous films and dramas. Most recently, she was seen in the KBS1 daily drama “Udangtang Family.”
