Okay, fellow fans — Kim Yoo Jung just addressed those persistent dating rumors about her and co-star Kim Do Hyun, and she did it in the most Kim Yoo Jung way: with a laugh. She spoke directly at the Dear X press conference on Oct 30 (KST), clearing the air and keeping the mood light while promoting the new drama.
Quick recap: photos of Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Do Hyun together at a Vietnam airport in September sparked speculation that they’d traveled together after wrapping Dear X. Their agencies denied it, saying the cast traveled as a team, but a later Instagram post kept rumors alive.
At the press event Kim said she called Kim Do Hyun right after the rumors first broke and the pair “laughed for about three minutes” at the whole thing. Director Lee Eun Bok even joked he had about 100 photos from that time, and co-star Lee Yeol Eum said she was just surprised and couldn’t help but laugh too. Kim Yoo Jung added that she saw the attention as a silver lining — it gets more eyes on Dear X, which premieres Nov 6 at 6 PM KST on TVING.
As a fan, I love that she handled it with humor and kept the focus on the drama. No dramatic denials, just honesty and a little teasing — classic Kim Yoo Jung energy.
