“Korean Hulk” Ha Je-yong said that he is “very close” with the Hollywood star Lindsay Lohan, in an interview with local media outlet Star News.

The two have been rumored to be dating since October and have posted photos together on their social media accounts.

Lohan, however, has officially denied the rumor on various occasions.

Through the recent interview, released on the first day of 2018, Ha admitted that he is close with Lohan.

“We are very close,” Ha said. “Living in Dubai at the moment, we are doing things together.”

He said that Lohan was to come to Korea in December, but the trip was canceled due to the dating rumor and a conflicting schedule.
“Lohan is to go to New York in January and to visit Korea as well,” he added.

Ha, 31, won a bench-pressing competition in Korea in October. Appearing in multiple Korean TV shows as “Muscle Man,” he calls himself a “Korean Hulk.”
