The two have been rumored to be in a relationship a few times before, but both had denied the speculations previously. However, media outlet Dispatch has once again reported on the first day of 2015 that the two are indeed in a relationship with some paparazzi shots to back up their claims.

The shots taken by the media outlet are said to be from December 26 when the two had late lunch at a restaurant owned by Lim Sae Ryeong. Although they could look like just friends from the photos at lunch, Dispatch says that their continued late night meeting showed that they are more than just friends.

The alleged couple are said to frequently meet at their homes when they get off work to avoid prying eyes, and have strengthened their bond over the years through a few business ventures as well.

One anonymous source told the media outlet, "The two aren't yet thinking of marriage... I think they plan on just maintaining their romance for now at least until Lim Sae Ryeong's ex-husband remarries."

When a Daesang Group rep was contacted, the rep simply responded, "Haven't the dating rumors circulated since a while ago... We cannot know the private affairs of the company's owner. Ask Lee Jung Jae."

C-JeS Entertainment has revealed they are currently looking to confirm whether the dating rumors are true by getting in touch with the actor.
