It all began when photos of Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Do-Hoon together popped up online, especially from a trip to Nha Trang (Vietnam) earlier this year. A masked woman next to Kim Do-Hoon at an airport in Nha Trang got eyeballs because her outfit seemed suspiciously similar to an outfit Kim Yoo Jung had posted on social media in June.
Internet communities went into overdrive: “They must be dating!” — fueled by what looked like a “lovestagram” style share and travel together. Both stars’ agencies quickly responded.Kim Yoo Jung’s agency (Awesome ENT) told media: The two were not dating. The Nha Trang photos were from a ─ in their words ─ group trip that included the director Lee Eung‑Bok, staff and cast after wrapping up the drama Dear X.Kim Do-Hoon’s agency (PEAK J Entertainment) echoed the same: it was a team trip, not a romantic getaway. On October 30, at a press event for Dear X, Kim Yoo Jung addressed the rumors herself. She said that right after the articles hit, she called Kim Do-Hoon and they laughed together for three full minutes. Her message? The rumors were more of a “Wow, people are paying attention” kind of moment than anything grounded in reality. Both are stars of the same upcoming drama (Dear X) so people are paying attention to any joint appearances.
Kim Yoo Jung and Kim Do-Hoon are two of Korea’s brightest rising stars, and it’s no surprise people can’t stop talking about them.Kim Yoo Jung has been in the spotlight since she was a kid — seriously, she’s one of those rare child actors who grew up flawlessly into a full-fledged A-list star. She’s known for her sweet-yet-powerful presence, killer acting chops, and that natural charm that just lights up the screen. From Moonlight Drawn by Clouds to Lovers of the Red Sky and now Dear X, she keeps proving she can handle any role — whether it’s historical, modern, or fantasy.Kim Do-Hoon, on the other hand, is newer but quickly climbing the ranks. Fans first noticed him in Moving (yep, the Disney+ hit), where he showed off some serious acting range and charisma. Since then, he’s been getting more attention for his looks, quiet confidence, and undeniable screen chemistry with whoever he’s paired with.
