Actress Kim So-eun has been entangled in dating rumors with soccer player Jung Dong-ho, but an associate denied this.
On the 23rd, an associate of Kim So-eun, who requested anonymity, revealed to OSEN that "both Kim So-eun and Jung Dong-ho are acquaintances who have met in the same place" and stated, "It is true that the two are close enough for mutual acquaintances to know each other well, but I understand that they are not in a romantic relationship. It seems that the overlap of golf club members and acquaintances has led to misunderstandings due to frequent meetings.
Rumors of a romance between Kim So-eun and Jung Dong-ho have been raised since about a year ago, mainly focused on social media, amid allegations of 'love-stagram.' In connection with this, OSEN received reports that last year, Kim So-eun and Jung Dong-ho were seen enjoying a round of golf together, and that they were spotted holding hands at a birthday party. However, even then, another acquaintance of Kim So-eun vehemently denied the possibility of a romantic relationship between the two.
In this regard, Kim So-eun's associate noted, "It is true that Jung Dong-ho also attended a birthday party with Kim So-eun and her acquaintances. However, the two are not in a romantic relationship; they simply enjoyed the party together due to overlapping acquaintances and gatherings," denying the dating rumors.
Additionally, regarding physical contact such as 'holding hands,' they explained, "Kim So-eun enjoyed a friendly atmosphere with acquaintances who attended the birthday party. Therefore, there likely was natural physical contact not only with player Jung Dong-ho but also with several other people."
Born in 1989, Kim So-eun is an actress who debuted in 2005 through the MBC drama 'Sisters' Sea.' It is reported that she has been independently active since her contract with the former agency Ascendio expired last year.
Jung Dong-ho, who is rumored to be dating her, was born in 1990, making him one year younger than Kim So-eun. He was active with the Korean professional soccer team Suwon FC in the K League until recently and is currently said to be a free agent.
