The two hottest K-pop stars ― Zico and Seolhyun ― are dating.

Their agencies confirmed the two stars’ romantic relations Wednesday afternoon shortly after an online news agency Dispatch reported the two have been dating secretly for months.

“We would appreciate support from the public and fans of the two stars,” said their agencies in a joint release.

Their agencies said Zico and Seolhyun were “growing feelings for each other as they went through difficult times together.”

Allegations have it that the two stars became close when Zico supported her by the time she got ridiculed in May for her lack of history knowledge on a TV program.
