Netizens Reactions
"Do people not know what acting is? It's not real, just because two actors play characters that are in love doesn't mean the actors are, it's the point of acting."
"Since when do they have dating rumors just because they did a role together? Why always ship two main characters who can also be friends? Just like with this woman. They are probably friends."
"Fans ship them but they are not dating... it's just what fans think and want to happen or impose on them due to great chemistry but most of these actors don't date and are dating someone else already."
"You people created the dating rumor. If he wants to date anyone... He's free. He's a grown-ass man."
"Rumor? Hmmm no photo or evidence of him dating the FL. Haven't you heard of fan fantasy? Do you quote fan fantasy as a rumor? Wow! You have reached a new low in writing — worse than a 5-year-old who can't differentiate fact from fiction."
"There are 1-2 prominent security companies that supply bodyguard services to the stars for events domestic and overseas. Of course, there will be overlaps. Attributing that to 'romance' is hilarious since stars don't hire personal bodyguards. Fact!"
"Man, the dating rumors in K-drama land are always wild. Honestly, I'll believe it when they confirm it themselves."
