Stars deny romance rumor

Actors Lee Jong-seok and Park Shin-hye have denied a fresh rumor that they are a couple.

The pair worked together from November last year to January on TV series Pinocchio on SBS.

Friends of the stars said: “They are really close friends but it is absolutely not true that they are dating.”

One said it was a coincidence that the two had participated in events like photo shoots and fan meetings together and wore similar bracelets.

Earlier Wednesday, a media report said Lee, 25, managed by Wellmade Yedang, and Park, 25, from S.A.L.T. Entertainment, had been dating for four months.
