On March 7, one media outlet claimed that Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon have been in a relationship for approximately a year, and that they gradually progressed from close co-workers to lovers. 

The two were wrapped up in dating rumors last May, when both sides clarified that they were just close friends. Shortly after the second dating rumors, a representative from Park Shin Hye's label responded with, "It is not true that the two are dating. They are just very close friends."
