Local news outlets confirmed Wednesday that singer Taeyang from K-pop idol boy band Big Bang has been dating actress Min Hyo-rin for more than a year.


One of the reports quoted two of the couple's personal acquaintances as saying, "It's already been a long time since many K-pop idol singers knew about the couple's relationship."

"Their relationship is serious. Their looks and characteristics naturally bond well," the sources added.


Taeyang, 27, first met Min, 29, when he worked with her on a music video for his song "1 a.m." that he had released with his album "Rise" in June of last year. The two acted as a couple in the video.



After the video was released, netizens reported that they saw online photos of the two wearing the same pants and shoes and assumed they might be dating.



태양ㆍ민효린 2년째 열애 '연예계선 이미 알려져'

빅뱅의 태양(27)과 배우 민효린(29)이 열애 중인 것으로 확인됐다고 복수의 언론사가 2일 보도했다. 

이들을 잘 아는 한 측근은 두 사람이 사귄다는 사실은 아이돌 가수들 사이에 이미 잘 알려져 있다고 말했으며, 태양과 친분 있는 한 아이돌 가수도 '둘이 진지하게 만남을 갖고 있다. 두 사람이 성격과 외모 모두 잘 어울린다'고 말했다고 알려졌다. 

민효린은 태양이 지난해 6월 발표한 솔로 음반 타이틀곡 '새벽 한시' 뮤직비디오에 출연한 인연이 있다. 

이후 온라인에는 두 사람의 데이트 목격담을 비롯해 이들이 커플을 상징하는 같은 운동화와 반지를 착용한 사진이 속속 올라와 팬들 사이에서는 교제 의혹이 불거졌다. 

청순한 외모의 민효린은 2006년 광고 모델로 데뷔해 영화 '써니'와 '바람과 함께 사라지다', 드라마 '칠전팔기 구해라'와 '로맨스타운' 등에 출연했다.
