Actor Jung Il-woo posted what appeared to be lovestagram SNS posts with a woman, sparking a "self dating rumor," and his agency said it was "unable to confirm personal matters."
On the 9th, Jung Il-woo posted on his personal SNS a photo of himself and a woman each taking pictures of themselves with the comment "Good day."
In the two photos, Jung Il-woo and the woman are shown having brunch in what appears to be the same space, and they tagged their SNS accounts under their respective photos.
Jung Il-woo deleted the posts quickly after uploading them, but the posts spread rapidly on online communities. Regarding this, a representative for Jung Il-woo cautiously gave an official comment to OSEN, saying, "As it concerns the actor's personal life, it is difficult to confirm. We ask for your understanding."
When agencies typically say they are "unable to confirm personal matters" in response to dating rumors, it is often interpreted as "effectively admitting" the relationship. Netizens who saw this reacted with comments such as "If it's true, congratulations," "She's almost 40, so what," and "Wow, congrats, congrats."
The woman involved in Jung Il-woo's self dating rumor is the CEO of the diet food brand for which Jung Il-woo works as a model, and she is known as a gifted person who earned a master's degree from Seoul National University College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. She founded the brand in 2021, and specific details such as her exact age are not known.
Jung Il-woo is actively involved with the brand not only as a model but also directly participating in brand planning and new product development, and late last year he attended a bazaar event and donated 10 million won to children with incurable diseases.
Meanwhile, Jung Il-woo is currently starring as Lee Ji-hyuk in the KBS 2TV weekend drama Our Golden Days.
