Korean actors Park Shin-hye and Lee Jong-suk denied rumors that they are in a romantic relationship, saying they are just “close friends,” Wednesday.

A local news outlet, Dispatch, broke the story that the two had been in a relationship for the past four months, after starring as an onscreen couple in the hit TV drama “Pinocchio.”

The news outlet photographed Lee and Park on alleged dates in Seoul and pointed out that they had consistently been in the same overseas locations, such as London in March and Hawaii in April.

“The two are just close friends. They are definitely not dating,” said Park’s agency S.A.L.T. Entertainment.

“They are just friends and are not dating,” said Lee’s agency Wellmade Yedang.

Both Park and Lee have become international hallyu stars since starring in the hit drama series “Pinocchio,” which ran from last November to January.
