KUALA LUMPUR: Fans of Onew, the leader of K-Pop boy group SHINee, brace yourselves!
Rumours are flying around saying that the 27-year-old may be dating South Korean actress Park Hwan-hee, 26, and apparently there are plenty of coincidental facts to support them.
It was SHINee’s Japanese fans who first started the rumour, and it quickly spread through online communities in South Korea, reported Koreaboo.
It all began when Onew, whose real name is Lee Jin-ki, and Park were spotted going out to cafes together. The actress was also seen attending SHINee’s concerts.
Fuelling the rumour further were Instagram posts that showed the two hanging out together. Park was seen “liking” SHINee’s fan art, while Onew was discovered to have followed her private Instagram account.
The two had co-starred in last year's hit K-drama Descendants Of The Sun, in which they played co-workers. The two reportedly became very close during filming.
However, many of Onew fans choose to believe that they are simply close friends, while some even supported the idea of them dating.
Onew and SM Entertainment have yet to respond.
