Check out our list of other real-life couples … who “dated” other people on screen.
Seo Ye-ji and Kim Jung-hyun
On April 12, Dispatch published a report about Seo and Kim: Seo allegedly prevented her then boyfriend from filming romantic scenes in the 2018 MBC drama Time, demanding that he get the script changed and not have any contact with his co-star Seohyun while on set. Kim apparently decided to abide by her request, replying to Seo with the message “only you can touch my hand” and telling her that he didn’t even greet any of the female staff, according to the reports. Kim later dropped out of the series due to health issues, according to a statement from his agency.
The day after the report went live, Seo’s agency Gold Medalist released an official statement, saying that the leaked text conversations were “a commonly seen quarrel between actors who are dating” and that “all actors apply themselves to the craft of acting by putting aside their quarrels with their partners”.
