Park Hyung Sik has finally spoken out about the dating rumors with his Strong Woman Do Bong Soon co-star, Park Bo Young, after fans were buzzing over their recent interactions.

On January 25, a new video titled "'Did I date Bo Young noona? Actually, the truth of that day…" dropped on Singles Magazine's YouTube channel.

In the interview, Park Hyung Sik shared his thoughts about love and family, and also addressed those steamy dating rumors that recently made headlines.

When asked about what brings him joy these days, Park Hyung Sik revealed, “What makes me happiest is being with the people who love me”, joking, “I must be suffering from love deficiency. I keep seeking out people who love me!”

He also added a little insight into his family dynamics, saying, “I’m the youngest at home, but my family has always been very affectionate. I think I absorbed all of that”.

Talking about his own family, Park Hyung Sik said his older brother is very affectionate, often ending their calls with “I love you”, which makes others in the family do a double-take.

“When I hang up with my older brother, everyone looks at him like, ‘Did I just hear that?’” he laughed, admitting his family has always been a bit different in expressing love.

Reflecting on his childhood, he shared a heartwarming memory of his father saying “I love you” before leaving for work every morning, which made him feel very comfortable showing affection.

As for the Strong Woman Do Bong Soon set, Park Hyung Sik reminisced about filming the drama, recalling that the staff had noticed the natural chemistry between him and Park Bo Young, joking, “When we were filming, the camera directors said, ‘There’s something suspicious between the two of you’”. The affection between them was so real that it made staff wonder if they were secretly dating!

The rumors flared up again after an October charity event for breast cancer awareness, where Park Bo Young was seen tenderly removing an eyelash from Park Hyung Sik’s face. That moment sparked online speculations that the two might be a couple.

But Park Hyung Sik was quick to clear things up, saying, “She was sitting next to me and said, ‘Let me take a picture.’ Then she noticed my eyelash and said, ‘Hyung Sik, you have an eyelash here.’ I asked, ‘Where?’ and she took it off for me.”

He added, “It was edited that way, so I could understand why it might look that way,” directly putting those dating rumors to rest.

Looks like it’s just pure affection between two friends!

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
