Kim Mu Jun was suddenly dragged into rumors of an affair with a Japanese actress named Mei Nagano. Surprisingly, the news also said that Mei was dating two men at once, namely Mu Jun and actor Kei Tanaka who is married.
On April 23, 2025, Kim Mu Jun's agency 9Ato Entertainment immediately responded to the rumors through a statement on Hankyung Media. They clarified, "Kim Mu Jun and Mei Nagano are just close friends," firmly denying any romantic relationship.
On the same day, Japanese weekly magazine Shūkan Bunshun published photos of Mei and Kei's alleged affair involving intimate physical contact. Kei is known to have been married since 2011 and is the father of two daughters.
The news quickly spread in Korea as well, with photos circulating quickly. Mei and Kei are now facing backlash from the public in Japan. One netizen wrote, "Is Mei Nagano really having an affair…? The man on the right is thought to be Kei Tanaka, and the one on the left is Kim Mu Jun—what is going on?”
The magazine also reported that Mei had invited a Korean male co-star from her latest drama to her home, further fueling speculation about her personal relationships. Mei is currently starring in the TBS drama “Sunday Caster,” which premiered on April 13, 2025, alongside Mu Jun.
Their on-screen chemistry has drawn increased scrutiny, with some in Korea and Japan speculating that Mu Jun could be Mei’s real-life partner. Born in 1999, Mei is considered one of Japan's most promising young actresses, known for her acting skills and stunning visuals.
She made her debut in the films "Hard Revenge" to "Milly: Bloody Battle". Since then, Mei has appeared in popular works such as "Daytime Shooting Star", "My Love Story!", "Half Blue" and "Love That Makes You Cry".
The actress is now enjoying great popularity in Japan and this scandal could be a detriment to her career. Meanwhile, Kei was born in 1984 and rose to fame through the BL drama series "Ossan's Love". He has many fans even now, as his scandals continue to be revealed.
