Actress Kim Yoo Jung has personally addressed the rumors about her dating actor Kim Do Hoon.
On October 30, the press conference for the TVING original series Dear X was held at the CGV Yongsan I'Park Mall in Seoul. Cast members Kim Yoo Jung, Kim Young Dae, Kim Do Hoon, Lee Yeol Eum, and director Lee Eung Bok attended the event.
'Dear X' tells the story of Baek Ah Jin (played by Kim Yoo Jung), a woman who wears a mask to escape hell, and the Xs she cruelly crushes along the way. The series is a melodramatic suspense series depicting the downfall of Baek Ah Jin, South Korea's top actress, who hides her cruel nature behind a beautiful face, and the love of Yoon Joon Seo (played by Kim Young Dae), who chooses hell to protect her. Kim Yoo Jung plays Baek Ah Jin, a woman who wears a mask to survive, while Kim Young Dae portrays Yoon Joon Seo, a man who believes salvation is love.
Earlier, Kim Yoo Jung and co-star Kim Do Hoon were caught up in dating rumors in September. Sightings of the two together at a Vietnam airport in May were reported, and both shared photos from their Nha Trang trip on social media, sparking further speculation.
During the press conference on this day, Kim Yoo Jung explained, "Right after the articles were published, I called Kim Do Hoon. We spent about three minutes laughing nonstop as soon as we spoke. I even laughed a lot while talking with the director. From our perspective, this shows how much attention people are giving us, and I hope the project does well."
Director Lee Eung Bok also joked, "I'm willing to provide a few more photos. I've secured a few shots." Kim Young Dae added, "I honestly didn't know anything. I couldn't be there. I asked sincerely whether it was real or fake, and when I called, they said it wasn't true."
Lee Yeol Eum said, "I couldn’t go either, but we coordinated plans in our group chat. I knew what day it was and how things went, so I later chatted with Yoo Jung. Seeing that part appear in the news made me laugh."
Meanwhile, the TVING original 'Dear X' will release episodes 1–4 on November 6 (Thursday) at 6 PM KST.
