"Park Seo-joon is in a relationship with Xooos. The relationship is special enough to introduce her to his best friends," an entertainment insider told the Korean media outlet.
On June 21, Park Seo-joon attended a press conference for the Korean movie “Concrete Utopia,” which also stars Lee Byung-hun.
Regarding the report, Park Seo-joon neither confirmed nor denied it.
“I heard the news late yesterday because I was shooting another project. First thing I felt after reading the news was that I am receiving a lot of attention,” he said, Korea Herald reported.
He added, “But as an actor, it’s really difficult for me to talk more about my personal life. Instead of putting so much attention on me, I hope such attention can be moved to our film.”
A photo of Park Seo-joon and Xooos together also spread in online communities. It also included “Squid Game” actress Jung Hoyeon. The photo was originally uploaded by Chanel designer Oleg Moscal last year and deleted it.
Korean netizens commented on the dating rumor between the two.
“I don't know who she is but I'm genuinely jealous,” one said while another wrote “ Park Seo Joon... why are you being like this!!!,” according to Netizen Buzz.
Here are other comments:
- “God dammit, congratulations”
- “Judging by the pictures.. she's doesn't seem~~ like the right fit for him?
- “I can tell just by her pictures that these rumors must be false. why would Park Seo Joon date a horse face like her? Who would believe such baseless rumors”
