K-pop boy band F.T. Island’s leader Jonghun is reportedly in love with former rhythmic gymnast Son Yeon-jae.

Paparazzi media Dispatch on Wednesday revealed photos of the two taken on multiple dates over the past year.

They were first spotted celebrating Son’s birthday on her birthday eve, May 27, at a Seoul restaurant. They were also seen at an amusement park in Japan just before F.T. Island's arena tour early this month.

Jonghun and Son reportedly met in February through an acquaintance. Jonghun’s agency FNC Entertainment said it is checking whether the report is true.
