AceShowbiz - Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon are reportedly an item. The 28-year-old actress and the 26-year-old actor are said to have been dating for over a year. The two were both students at Chung Ang University and developed a close relationship after debuting as actors.
Sources from the industry say Shin Hye and Tae Joon usually enjoy quiet dates at Shin Hye's apartment in Chungdam-dong or hang out with their common friends around the neighborhood. Tae Joon's friends are reportedly aware that they're dating.
Shin Hye's agency S.A.L.T Entertainment has denied the dating reports, saying, "It's not true that Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon are dating. They are just close friends." Meanwhile, Tae Joon's agency Huayi Brothers says they are currently checking with the actor. "We've learned about the dating rumors with Park Shin Hye. We are looking into it," a source from the agency says.
This isn't the first time Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon were hit with dating rumors. In May last year, rumors emerged that they were more than just friends. The reports surfaced as the two were spotted going on a vacation together with their friends in April and visited a national park together in May. There was also a video showing the two stars' close relationship while they enjoyed a trip overseas.
At the time, Shin Hye's agency also denied the reports, stating, "They merely have a close senior-junior relationship. As Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon are both students at Chung Ang University, they have maintained a good friendship as industry senior and junior."
The statement continued, "Fans are very well aware of their friendship. Park Shin Hye went to the park not only with Choi Tae Joon, but with many other fellow students as well. It seems that, despite the fact that there were a lot of people, many recognized only Choi Tae Joon and Park Shin Hye."
However, the so-called insider insists the "Pinocchio" star and the "Padam Padam" star are in a relationship. "They couldn't confirm the dating rumors at the time because of their individual situations, but they have been dating since then. They're a fond couple who learn to treasure each other more with each day," the source says.
