Rumors swirling around actor Kim Soo Hyun and former I.O.I member turned actress Lim Na Young's alleged romance have been swiftly squashed, with both parties slamming down the dating speculations as "completely groundless."

Setting the record straight, Kim Soo Hyun's agency, Gold Medalist, wasted no time debunking the rumors on the 11th, asserting that there's absolutely no truth to the dating buzz.

Echoing the sentiment, Lim Na Young's agency, Mask Studio, chimed in, clarifying that the stars merely bumped into each other at a festival and shared a few whispered words, courtesy of the boisterous surroundings. "The dating rumors are groundless," they emphasized, shutting down the gossip once and for all.

The dating whispers first ignited when Taiwanese media outlet ET Today stirred the pot on the 10th (local time), alleging a romantic spark between the two stars after they were spotted together at the "Ultra Music Festival Korea 2024" on the 7th.

But fear not, fans! Kim Soo Hyun, beloved for his heart-wrenching portrayal in tvN's 'Queen of Tears,' which concluded in April, is gearing up to charm global fans once again as he takes on hosting duties at the "KCON LA 2024" countdown event next month.

Meanwhile, Lim Na Young, who stole hearts as an idol and is now making waves in the acting scene, wrapped up her stint in the KBS 1TV daily drama 'The Noisy, Bubbly Family' back in March.

With the dating rumors firmly put to rest, it's back to business as usual for these two talented stars as they continue to shine brightly in their respective endeavors.

Actor Lee Min Ho recently shared an unforgettable and embarrassing moment from his early career, revealing how he became a “falling star” at his first Baeksang Arts Awards.

On the December 25th episode of You Quiz on the Block (Episode 274), Lee Min Ho made a guest appearance and reflected on his rise to fame.

The actor, known for his iconic role as Goo Jun Pyo in Boys Over Flowers, won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards, but it wasn’t just his victory that grabbed attention.

Lee Min Ho recalled, "I was attending the Baeksang for the first time, and I was so excited. Since I wasn’t going as Goo Jun Pyo, but as Lee Min Ho, I styled my hair in a perm and was ready to go." However, things took an unexpected turn when he tripped and fell on the red carpet.

He sighed, recalling, "That day, I fell. I fell and created so many memes. Even now, I look back and think, 'How did I walk that quickly on the red carpet?'"

Laughing at his own clumsiness, he admitted, "I was moving at the speed of light, no composure, no focus. Honestly, more than the joy of winning the award, that day was chaotic and so embarrassing for me."

Though his win was a highlight, Lee Min Ho humorously shared that the incident of tripping overshadowed the excitement of his achievement.

It’s safe to say that while the fall became a funny meme, it also became a lesson in humility for the actor, and a moment that fans still remember to this day.
