Speculation began circulating online suggesting that the two actors were in a relationship, sparking widespread attention.
As the rumors spread, Hong Yi Seol addressed the situation directly through a post on her social media, firmly denying the claims.
I’m writing this carefully because there have been ongoing stories about me recently.
The actor being mentioned and I are simply good colleagues who became close while taking classes together in university. The dating rumors are completely false.
I hesitated to speak up because I was worried my post might lead to further misunderstandings, but I felt I had to clarify directly as the continued speculation could cause trouble for the other actor.
All current dating rumors and drama-related claims are not true, so please don’t worry. I would appreciate it if people could refrain from further speculation.

Heo Nam Jun has not issued any official response regarding the situation.
