South Korean actor Jung Gun Joo, of Extraordinary You fame, was recently involved in dating rumours with a famed YouTuber.

The entertainment company, which also represents Squid Game Season 2 actress Park Gyu Young, officially responded to these rumours spreading like wildfire in online communities.
On September 9, Saram Entertainment stated, “The two are just close acquaintances,” as reported by Korean media outlet Money S.
Netizens seemingly blew the link between Jung Gun Joo, 29, and Nam Seo Yeon, 21, after connecting the dots between a series of photos, hinting at their twinning outfits. Singling out social media posts of the K-drama actor and YouTuber (known for her channel ‘SEOYEON’), netizens directed their attention to the duo possibly being at the same location by matching the timing. The photos supposedly pointed out that the two were cooling off at the same ‘baeksuk’ (Korean chicken stew) restaurant, as reported by AllKpop.
