Park Shin-hye's past dating rumors with Lee Min-ho, Jung Yong-hwa
Rumors that Korean actors Park Shin-hye and Lee Jong-suk are dating, reported Wednesday, have prompted members of the public to highlight her previous “romances” with other stars Lee Min-ho and Jung Yong-hwa.
Park achieved her breakthrough success in the 2013 drama series “The Heirs,” as the on-screen love interest of Lee Min-ho. A year later, she acted in her second hit drama series “Pinocchio,” opposite Lee Jong-suk.

Park’s agency also credited the “groundless rumors” to the popularity of “The Heirs” in China.

Jung played a friend who harbors feelings for Park in the romantic TV drama “You’re Beautiful” in 2009. Two years later, he played her on-screen love interest in another romantic drama series, “Heartstrings.”
Though they acted as on-screen lovers on the small screen, Park and Jung have never seriously been at the center of dating rumors.

Park said at the same press conference, “Jung Yong-hwa and I know so much about each other, I think it would be difficult for us to start a romantic relationship.”
The actress reiterated on an entertainment program in March 2013 that she and Jung were “just good friends.” Jung said on a talk show last year that Park often attended CNBLUE concerts due to their friendship.
Park is an international Hallyu icon with a strong fan base spanning several Asian countries.
