The agencies of actors Kim Soo-hyun and Lim Na-young denied rumors that the two are dating.

An official at Kim's agency, Goldmedalist, said on Tuesday, "While it is true that Kim Soo-hyun attended Ultra Music Festival Korea, the dating rumors are groundless."

Lim Na-young's agency, Mask Studio, also denied the rumors. "Lim Na-young attended Ultra Music Festival Korea privately and coincidentally encountered Kim Soo-hyun there. The moment where they were observed whispering was merely a result of the noisy environment," one official at Mask Studio said.

Previously, a video of Kim and Lim at Ultra Music Festival Korea sparked speculation online. In the video, Kim was seen whispering to Lim, leading to dating rumors.

Both actors' agencies clarified that those rumors are groundless.

Kim recently starred in the tvN drama "Queen of Tears," which concluded in April, playing the role of Baek Hyun-woo.

Lim, formerly of the groups I.O.I and Pristin, appeared in the KBS drama "Whirlwind Family," which ended in March.
