TVXQ / DBSK / Tohoshinki’s Jaejoong is once again involved in a Japanese dating rumor.

A weekly magazine in Japan reported that Jaejoong and Japanese model Mikiko Yano were spotted enjoying a date together in Tokyo’s Shibuya district. The two were seen wearing masks standing at a cross walk with arms locked looking to be enjoying each others company.

A representative speaking for Jaejoong said, “He has only met Mikiko Yano once and it was in a group setting.” Mikiko Yano’s camp told the magazine that she and Jaejoong are just “friends.”

The Japanese media previously linked Jaejoong with actress Abiru Yuu last November. Could this just be another misunderstanding?
