Actor Kim Soo Hyun has finally addressed the ongoing dating rumors with Kim Ji Won, sending a clear message to fans.

On January 24th, Kim Soo Hyun posted a response on the popular communication platform Bubble, saying, “I hope you all watch dramas as just dramas now.” His words came after a fan suggested that the two stars should go public with their rumored relationship.

The fan had written, “Please get married to Ji Won soon and show your love publicly. Let everyone know how much you love each other and that you belong to each other. Please get married. Kim Soo Hyun, Ji Won's husband; Kim Ji Won, Soo Hyun's wife.”

Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won previously worked together in the hit tvN drama Queen of Tears, where they portrayed a married couple. The drama, which wrapped up in April of last year, became a huge success, peaking at a viewership rating of 24.9% (Nielsen Korea). Their chemistry on-screen earned them the nickname "Baek Hong couple," and they gained significant love from fans.

However, dating rumors started circulating after Kim Soo Hyun deleted some photos he had posted on his social media in July. The photos shared similar poses, outfits, and compositions to ones posted by Kim Ji Won, leading to speculation that they were secretly in a relationship. At the time, neither star commented on the rumors.

On the work front, Kim Soo Hyun is set to return to the screen with Disney+’s new series Knockoff. The series, scheduled for release in the first half of this year, follows the story of Kim Seong Jun (played by Kim Soo Hyun), an ordinary man who enters the counterfeit business during the Asian financial crisis and eventually becomes the "king of knockoffs." Kim Soo Hyun will star alongside actress Jo Bo Ah in this exciting new project.
