Yuri, member of K-pop band Girls’ Generation, has been dating baseball player Oh Seung-hwan for six months, a local media outlet reported Monday.

According to the weekly newspaper, Yuri, 24, and Oh, 32, have been romantically involved since November.

The pair have enjoyed dates in Korea and Japan, mostly accompanied by mutual friends.

The tabloid newspaper reported that Yuri stayed on in Japan to hang out with Oh, who is currently based in Osaka, after wrapping up her recording schedule with Girls’ Generation. She returned to Korea five days after her bandmates.

Yuri’s label SM Entertainment has not made any comments on the reports as of 10:30 a.m.

The relationship rumors have been circulating among K-pop and sports insiders with the two often sighted together at amusement parks, cinemas and restaurants.

If the reports are true, Yuri would join other members -- Yoona, Sooyoung, Taeyeon and Tiffany -- who made public their romantic relationships.

The celebrated Oh, who debuted with Korean baseball team Samsung Lions in 2005, has fared well as a pitcher for the Japanese baseball team since 2013.

The 8-member Girls’ Generation has been promoting the latest album “Catch Me If You Can,” released on April 10, in Korea and Japan.
