South Korean actor Park Seo Joon has spoken up amid speculations about his love life.
The Itaewon Class star recently stirred dating rumors after JTBC Entertainment reported that he is in a relationship with YouTuber and singer xooos.
The Korean media outlet quoted an insider as saying, “The relationship is special enough to introduce her to her best friends”.
Seo Joon and xooos are claimed to enjoy small dates “such as sharing hobbies and sports like any other couple”.
Both Seon Joon and xooos’ respective agencies, Awesome Entertainment and Wavy Entertainment, earlier stated it’s “difficult to confirm” the matter.
During a press conference for his upcoming disaster thriller film Concrete Utopia, Seo Joo shared his thoughts on the romance speculations.
“I heard that there was such news belatedly as there is a project I’m currently filming now. The first thought I had was, ‘A lot of people are interested in me’,” the K-drama actor was quoted as saying in a Soompi report.
But similar to his agency, Seo Joon refrained from confirming or denying the dating allegations.
“I’m grateful for the attention, but in my case, I tend to feel greatly burdened by opening up my private life [to the public], and since this is a personal matter, I think it will be difficult for me to particularly comment,” he added, asking the public to show interest in his upcoming film instead.
