Kim Min Suk and Lee Joo Bin have been hit with dating rumors. The actor and the actress/model, who are both 27, have reportedly been dating for five months. Sources said the two's relationship progressed from colleagues to lovers back in July.
"All their friends know that the two of them are dating. Even though Kim Min Suk is busy, he's making time to go on dates with Lee Joo Bin," according to a so-called friend. The two reportedly recently spent time together in Fukuoka, Japan.
Following the dating reports, Kim Min Suk's agency released a statement which read, "After checking with Kim Min Suk, we have confirmed that he and Lee Joo Bin are close friends but are not dating. They were coincidentally in Japan at the same time, so they just met up and were even joined by other friends."
Lee Joo Bin's agency also denied the reports, saying that the model went to Japan for personal reasons, but did not go with Min Suk.
Min Suk, who made his debut on tvN's music youth series "Shut Up Flower Boy Band" in 2012, gained recognition following his performance on 2016's hit drama series "Descendants of the Sun". He later starred on SBS' medical drama "Doctors" and won the Best New Actor award at the Baeksang Arts Awards. In 2017, he starred on SBS' "Defendant", JTBC's "Age of Youth 2" and tvN's "Because This is My First Life".
As for Joo Bin, she is a former DSP Media trainee who almost became a member of girl group Rainbow, which was formed in 2009 with seven members before disbanding in 2016. She was featured in Block B's music video for "Yesterday" and lands a role on upcoming drama "Mr. Sunshine".
