Regarding the rumors of infidelity involving Japanese actor Mei Nagano, actor Kim Moo-jun denied the dating rumors, stating that they are "close colleagues."

On the 23rd, Japanese media Shūkan Bunshun reported on the affair between Nagano Mei and Kei Tanaka. Tanaka Kei married the actress Sakura, who is one year older, in 2011, and they have two daughters. It is alleged that he has been enjoying secret meetings with 15 years younger Nagano Mei.

Tanaka Kei was also involved in a controversy regarding an affair with a gravure idol in 2015. Amid this, a selfie of Nagano Mei and him, holding hands or with their faces close, was leaked, prompting new suspicions of infidelity.

According to reports, Nagano Mei and Tanaka Kei became connected after appearing in the same film in 2021, and it is said that they developed an affair since last year. The film they co-starred in, "And the baton was passed," was selected as a Community Biff screening at the 27th Busan International Film Festival in 2022 and is well known to domestic fans. Given that they appeared as a father and daughter in the film, fans were left in shock upon hearing the news of their affair.

In particular, Shūkan Bunshun reported that Nagano Mei was involved in both an affair and a romantic relationship. The partner is a Korean actor currently appearing in the same drama, and images of the two were captured sitting in a car in front of Nagano Mei's house.

Currently, Nagano Mei is appearing in the TBS drama "Caster," which premiered on the 13th. In this drama, Korean actor Kim Moo-jun is cast in the role of a news agency assistant director and is delivering a compelling performance. Consequently, due to the fallout from Nagano Mei's affair rumors, Kim Moo-jun has also become embroiled in dating rumors.

However, in regard to this, Kim Moo-jun's agency, 9ato Entertainment, told OSEN that "the dating rumors with Nagano Mei are not true," emphasizing that they are "close colleagues."

Meanwhile, Kei Tanaka denied the rumors of an affair with Nagano Mei, saying, "We are just on good terms, but we are not dating."
