While many actors agencies take time to look into such reports, Seo Ji Hye’s agency denied it almost as soon as the report was released, they stated that she’s definitely not dating Kim Jung Hyun and that they’re ‘shocked’ by the reports.
This was followed by a response from Kim Jung Hyun’s agency which also denied the news in a statement to another news outlet. They stated they have developed a close relationship as a senior and junior after working together in tvN’s ‘Crash Landing on You.’

But things didn’t stop there, leading us to Dispatch’s report of Seo Ji Hye And Kim Jung Hyun.
Despite Seo Ji Hye And Kim Jung Hyun denial, Dispatch has released its own exclusive report to claim the two actors have indeed been dating for over a year, they published photos of the two actors entering what appears to be an apartment building together keeping a noticeable distance from each other.
According to Dispatch, Seo Ji Hye and Kim Jung Hyun have been dating for a year following the conclusion of “Crash Landing on You,” and they’d usually have their dates at either of their places which are 10 minutes distance from each other.

They also shared a testimony of an acquaintance close to them who claimed the two would spend lots of time together and spend their birthdays together. Another acquaintance revealed that Kim Jung Hyun relied on Seo Ji Hye after going through personal issues.
Seo Ji Hye’s agency stuck to their initial statement despite the Dispatch report and told the news outlet that the two actors had met up to speak about the matter of transferring his agency since he’s set to become a free-agent soon. In regards to why they were spotted going inside the same apartment building together, the agency explained it was due to the pandemic.
