Actress Kim So-eun is embroiled in her Nth dating rumor. This time, the protagonist is soccer player Jung Dong-ho. A close associate of Kim So-eun stated through OSEN, "They are not in a romantic relationship."
Kim So-eun brought attention to herself through this dating rumor. She has become entangled in rumors of dating with soccer player Jung Dong-ho, who is a year younger, primarily through social media. They have been under suspicion of 'love Instagram' for about a year. On the 23rd, a media outlet reported that they have been dating for a year, but this was revealed to be untrue.
An associate of Kim So-eun, who requested anonymity, told OSEN on this day, "Kim So-eun and Jung Dong-ho are acquaintances who have met in the same place," and added, "It is true that they are close to the extent that friends know each other well, but I understand that they are not in a romantic relationship. It seems that misunderstandings arose due to overlapping memberships with golf club members and acquaintances, leading to frequent gatherings."
Kim So-eun and Jung Dong-ho enjoy golfing together, and they were spotted holding hands at a birthday party, which led to dating rumors. Kim So-eun's associate stated, "It is true that Jung Dong-ho attended Kim So-eun's birthday party, but the two are not in a romantic relationship; they enjoyed the party together due to overlapping gatherings with acquaintances."
Ultimately, the dating rumor between Kim So-eun and Jung Dong-ho, which had continued for a year, was yet again found to be untrue. Instead of highlighting her projects, Kim So-eun brought attention to herself through dating rumors, adding yet another unfounded rumor to the mix due to incorrect reporting.
Although Kim So-eun has never been in a public relationship, she has been involved in several dating rumors previously. She was said to be close to actor Kim Bum, with whom she co-starred in the drama "Boys Over Flowers," as they were college mates, but she has stated, "The dating rumor made things awkward."
In 2015, her dating rumor arose when paparazzi captured her on a late-night date with actor Son Ho-jun. At that time, Kim So-eun was paired with the late Song Jae-rim on the MBC variety program "We Got Married Season 4" as a virtual couple. The sudden dating rumor attracted attention, and both agencies denied saying, "They are not in a romantic relationship."
The meeting between Kim So-eun and Son Ho-jun, which was reported as occurring during a late-night date, is known to have taken place in the company of close colleagues, including actor Yoo Yeon-seok. The agency stated, "Kim So-eun, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Son Ho-jun are known to be close friends who sometimes share meals and spend time together," firmly refuting the rumor. After facing criticism due to the dating rumor that surfaced during "We Got Married 4," Kim So-eun expressed her unfairness.
Kim So-eun had a special relationship with the late Song Jae-rim, who was her virtual husband in "We Got Married 4," as they had faced multiple dating rumors. Kim So-eun gained popularity alongside the late Song Jae-rim and co-starred as protagonists in the 2016 drama "Our Gap-soon." The two, who were close colleagues and friends, sparked dating rumors when they posted traveling photos from Japan in 2023 and were embroiled in 'love Instagram' suspicions. At that time, both sides released a statement saying it was a "coincidence."
