Chinese model Liu Wen has denied she is romantically involved with Choi Si-won, an actor and a member of K-pop band Super Junior, Chinese media reported Monday.
Choi and Liu starred in the Chinese version of TV variety show “We Got Married” as a virtual married couple for about three month since April.
During the shooting, a show host asked Liu: “Are you and Choi actually together?” Liu avoided he question, and asked the audience, “Have you eaten? If you don’t, cook will provide you food.”
The episode sparked a romance rumor among Chinese fans.
Liu’s management company has denied the romance, saying,“Choi and Liu are not actually dating, but they just acted as a couple for the show. We don’t know what’s going to happen, but Liu is a single now.”
Choi is serving his mandatory military service in Korea, after shooting a popular MBC drama “She was Pretty.”
