Actors confirm they aren't item

ActorPark Seo-joon, of the tvN drama "A Witch's Love", and actressBaek Jin-hee, who currently stars in the MBC sitcom "High Kick 3, The Short Legs Counterattack", are not in a romantic relationship, the stars' agencies said yesterday, refuting local reports that the two were linked.

"It is true that they have become good friends, as they filmed [the miniseries 'Gold, Appear!'] together for some time", said Keyeast, an agency for Park.

"Since Park is currently abroad with a local shooting schedule, it might take a little time to confirm".

After rumors broke out, Baek's agency, Snow Ball Entertainment, said yesterday that the 24-year-old actress confirmed that she and Park were, in fact, "not dating".

Last September, the pair appeared as a married couple on the 50-episode MBC weekend drama series "Gold, Appear!".

The local monthly magazine "Woman Sense" reportedly published an article in its August edition stating that the stars had been dating over the year. That story quickly spread, going viral across the Internet.
