Actor Kim Soohyun (36) and Im Nayoung (28), a member of former group IOI, were seen whispering affectionately at a music festival held in Incheon.
On the 10th (local time), the foreign media outlet 'ET Today' reported a dating rumor between actor Kim Soohyun and singer-actress Im Nayoung.
Kim Soohyun and Im Nayoung attended the '2024 Ultra Music Festival Korea' on the 7th. Their appearance caught the attention of the audience, who then recorded the two and posted the footage on social media.
In the video, Kim Soohyun and Im Nayoung are seen standing side by side, enjoying the music. Kim Soohyun had a casual 'boyfriend look' with a black baseball cap and oversized shirt, while Im Nayoung showcased pure charm in a white sleeveless top.
Kim Soohyun was seen whispering to Im Nayoung, displaying a friendly moment. Im Nayoung, unfazed, continued the conversation naturally.
The unexpected pairing left netizens bewildered. Comments included, "Did Kim Soohyun and Im Nayoung even have any connection?" and "I never imagined the two were acquainted."
Some are denying the dating rumors. They argue, "The festival's sponsor was also the sponsor for tvN's 'Queen of Tears.' Not only Kim Soohyun but also actor Park Seojoon was present. They were whispering because it was noisy." The sponsor mentioned is Mercedes-Benz.
Meanwhile, Kim Soohyun is back to his prime with the tvN drama 'Queen of Tears.' During the drama's airing, actress Kim Saeron posted a selfie with him on social media, sparking 'self-dating' rumors.
Im Nayoung debuted with IOI through Mnet's 'Produce 101.' She has since appeared in various films and dramas, establishing herself as an 'acting idol.'
