New Drama‑Vine: Kim Jung‑Hyun & Seo Ji‑Hyun Alleged to Be a Second Love
For the K‑drama faithful, Crash Landing On You remains a heart‑warmingly weird love story that has stitched itself into many playlists. But this week, the show’s sweet narrative might get a side‑story of its own.
Early Rumor: A “Second Couple” Out of the Echo
On April 8, Sports Chosun broke the exclusive. It claimed that Kim Jung‑Hyun (playing Gu Seung‑Jun) and Seo Ji‑Hyun (playing Seo Dan) fell for each other during filming and are now dating.
Fast‑Response: Agency Denies
Culture Depot slammed back in a swat‑through‑18‑minutes reply. “It is absolutely not true they are dating,” it declared. Both the agency and Seo Ji‑Hyun stated that the claim hurts and is utterly absurd.
Dispatch’s Dramatics: A Year‑Long Love Horizon
Following the denial, Dispatch jumped in with fresh photos of a man and woman supposedly the actors. The duo was shown strolling side‑by‑side in a parking lot and riding a lift together.
According to the outlet:
- They typically date at home, with Jung‑Hyun arriving first, then Ji‑Hyun.
- They also enjoy exploring the outskirts of Seoul together.
- Jung‑Hyun moved to Ji‑Hyun’s neighbourhood last year; their flats now lie only a ten‑minute walk apart.
Past Episodes of Romantic Unveils
Dispatch had previously revealed the romance of the original leads, Hyun Bin and Son Ye‑jin, on Jan 1. The pattern of sudden love reveals seems to be a staple of the Korean drama world.
Agency’s Counter‑Spin
Culture Depot responded to Dispatch, suggesting that Jung‑Hyun dropped by Ji‑Hyun’s apartment not because of romance but to discuss an agent switch—his current contract was ending.
They also indicated the pair were close coworkers and chose to see each other at home amid the COVID restrictions.
Final Word from the Agents
Jung‑Hyun’s current agency reiterated the same denial: no romance, just a strong professional and friendly bond. They insisted the actors are merely “close” colleagues.
Whether the rumors are just a fey fandom frolic or a little love seed sprouting in quiet corners, K‑drama fans remain eager—and somewhat skeptical—of the truth that may bloom behind the curtain.
