The speculation was initially fueled by Sports Chosun, which revealed the actors were reportedly dating, and pointed to a six-year age gap between them. Seo Ji-hye, currently 37, and Kim Jung-hyun, now 31, have found themselves at the center of attention, not only for their acting prowess but also for their personal lives.
The story surrounding Kim Jung-hyun and Seo Ji-hye took a turn when the name of Seo Ye-ji was brought into the conversation. Reports surfaced about her alleged involvement, which added another layer of complexity to the unfolding narrative.
Following the staff's statement, a Korean media outlet unveiled text messages exchanged between Kim Jung-hyun and Seo Ye-ji. These messages provided a glimpse into their past relationship, with one exchange revealing:
"Why didn't you tell me everything you did today?"
"I didn't greet the female staff members today."
"I'm very stiff with other people."
These revelations, coupled with the dating rumors, led to a whirlwind of public reaction and speculation. The industry was abuzz, and fans eagerly awaited further developments.
According to reports by Spotv News, Kim Jung-hyun agreed to make a special appearance in MBC's "Would You Like to Have Dinner Together," starring Seo Ji-hye. This move, some sources suggest, was motivated by his relationship with Seo Ji-hye, whom he recently co-starred with in the widely popular drama "Crash Landing on You."
However, the actors' agencies were quick to respond to the dating rumors. In a matter of minutes, representatives from both sides issued statements. Culture Depot, representing Seo Ji-hye, denied the claims, calling them unfounded. It is not true that there is a relationship between Seo Ji-hye and Kim Jung-hyun, the agency stated. We consulted with her, and she responded that it was absurd.
Similarly, O& Entertainment, Kim Jung-hyuns agency, also refuted the reports. "As far as we know, Kim Jung-hyun and Seo Ji-hye are not dating," the agency stated, bringing a degree of clarity to the situation, although not entirely dispelling the curiosity.
The rumors, however, persisted. The media outlet 'Dispatch' released exclusive photos, which showcased the pair together, seemingly confirming the dating rumors that had been circulating. These photos provided visual evidence, further fueling the discussion about the actors' relationship.
The alleged relationship, if true, would have started shortly after "Crash Landing on You" concluded in February 2020. The drama's ending, which saw their characters find happiness, could have been a precursor to a real-life romance.
The plot thickens with the news that Kim Jung-hyun will be making a special appearance in "Would You Like to Have Dinner Together," starring Seo Ji-hye, according to Spotv News. This move raised eyebrows, as many wondered if the actor was motivated by his connection with his former co-star from "Crash Landing on You."
The initial reports of Kim Jung-hyun and Seo Ji-hye's relationship came from Sports Chosun on April 8th, which sparked a wave of online discussions among fans. Their chemistry in "Crash Landing on You" was undeniable, leading many to hope for a similar connection off-screen.

In "Crash Landing on You," Kim Jung-hyun and Seo Ji-hye's characters' stories ended on a hopeful note, which fans hoped would be mirrored in their real lives. The fact that they had previously worked together in "Don't Dare to Dream" in 2016 further added to the interest surrounding their relationship.
Adding to the drama, the past conflict between Kim Jung-hyun and Seohyun from "Time" (2018) resurfaced, just as his relationship with Seo Ji-hye began to be discussed. This added a new layer of scrutiny to the actor's career.
The entertainment world, particularly South Korean drama fans, are often invested in the relationships of their favorite stars. When 'Dispatch' released exclusive photos of Seo Ji-hye and Kim Jung-hyun, the interest level soared.
In the midst of dating rumors and denials, the upcoming drama "Would You Like to Have Dinner Together?" holds a special significance for fans. The series presents a chance for Kim Jung-hyun and Seo Ji-hye to share the screen again, which has increased anticipation, as many eagerly await to see if their characters can rekindle their love, this time in real life.
The response from both of their agencies, which swiftly denied the allegations, served to cast doubt on the claims. Yet, in the world of celebrity and entertainment, denials do not always mean the end of the story.
In April 2021, the South Korean media outlet Dispatch released exclusive photos of Seo Ji-hye and Kim Jung-hyun, further fanning the flames of the rumors. The images allegedly showed the pair together, seemingly confirming their relationship.
