The news about Kim Go-eun and Shin Ha-kyun’s break up has started rumors that Kim is dating Gong Yoo. All three denied the rumor.

Kim and Shin’s agency HODU&U Entertainment confirmed the couple broke up on Wednesday, saying that they split due to their busy schedules.

Soon after a rumor spread that Kim is dating Gong, who co-starred on the recent hit drama “Guardian: The Lonely and Great God.”

Kim and Gong have often shown their close friendship through behind-the-scenes videos of the drama.

Also, when Kim recently re-created her Instagram account, she posted a “wedding” photo of Gong and herself from the drama as the first photo while leaving out the photo with Shin which was on her previous account.

“We’ve heard about the rumor saying that Gong and Kim are dating,” HODU&U said on Wednesday. “That’s just a rumor without any grounds.”

“There’s smoke, a lot, without fire,” wrote the CEO of Gong’s agency Management Soop on Instagram referring to the rumor.
