K-pop girl band T-ara’s Soyeon could be dating Japanese wakeboarder Shota Tezuka.
MBK Entertainment, the band’s agency, said the pair met three years ago and began considering dating in August. The agency said it will confirm the issue with the singer.
Soyeon, 28, who dated former K-pop boy band Click-B member and musical actor Oh Jong-hyuk for six years until July, met Tezuka, 22, because she is interested in wakeboarding.
Netizens said they saw the pair holding hands at an international wakeboarding championship on Aug. 19-21 at Seoul’s Han River. They also said their SNS pages showed photos of them in Florida.
Tezuka turned pro aged 12 in 2005 and won silver at the IWWF World Wakeboard Championships in 2013.
Soyeon, whose name is Park So-yeon, debuted with the band in 2009.
