On Monday July 3, 2023, news circulated that Im Yoona and Lee Junho were dating. A source leaked that the two of them had been dating for a long time before even starting filming for the Korean drama King the Land, which is currently airing on JTBC and Netflix. In the Korean drama, Yoona and Junho play characters who like each other.
It didn't take long for the management of the two artists, SM Entertainment (Yoona) and JYP Entertainment (Junho) to respond to this news. Through their official statement, the two managements both denied the dating news previously issued by the news site The Proof.
"They're just close, dating rumors are not true," said SM Entertainment representatives quoted from various sources such as Newsan and Hankyung. The same thing was also revealed by JYP Entertainment. Through their official statement, management explained that they had cross-checked Junho.
"The two of them were really close, but after asking Junho, the news of dating was just baseless gossip," said JYP Entertainment. Previously, Yoona and Junho appeared together at the press conference for the Korean drama King the Land. The two of them seemed to hit it off at the time.
They also had time to share stories from the shooting location and also told the process of building chemistry together for this drama. Yoona admitted that because she had known Junho for a long time, it was not difficult for her to feel comfortable acting with the 2PM member.
This was also agreed upon by Junho who said meeting and working with Yoona in the Korean drama King the Land was like two high school friends meeting again after a long time. "Of course we have a lot of topics of conversation because we have been in this industry for a long time. On other drama shooting locations, I try to stay humble and more reserved.
But when I'm with Yoona here, it's like meeting old friends and being able to talk a lot. The shooting location is also fun, lots of funny moments. It's really like meeting school friends!" Junho said during a press conference for the Korean drama King the Land on Thursday June 15, 2023 which was attended by a media news outlets virtually.
Yoona admitted that she was very comfortable working with Junho and playing their romantic comedy drama characters without burden. There was already a good relationship between them before they were put together in the drama so it was easier to build chemistry between the characters with each other.
"It feels good. I've known Junho since we were very young and we often meet too. Now being put together in this drama feels good. It's true, as Junho said, it's like going back to old times. Talking to Junho is like when you met him when he was an idol . We are also very relaxed around each other," said Yoona.
