Looks like Korea’s getting on the potentially messy love quadrangle action that’s been dominating the headlines over in Greater China last week with the reunion romance of two of Hong Kong’s biggest stars. It’s been an ongoing saga of innuendo of the “are they-aren’t they” questions ever since Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin wrapped their critically well-received K-drama It’s Okay, It’s Love. I can’t say it’s new for either of them, the same rumors popped up after Gong Hyo Jin did The Master’s Sun with So Ji Sub and for Jo In Sung there has been a loud contingent that think he and Song Hye Kyo are made to be after That Winter, the Wind Blows. I think the logical conclusion is that Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung are onscreen chemistry magnets and make all the viewers think their reel romance is real. Last week Gong Hyo Jin and Lee Jin Wook announced the end of their short-lived three month romance, which prompted Jo In Sung to make a really random announcement that he was totally still dating Kim Min Hee.
My reaction? Whatever. This week the whole kit and caboodle has been shaken up by a twofer news drop this evening – Jo In Sung and Kim Min Hee are now broken up (apparently a lot can happen in a week), and trusty sleazy tabloid Dispatch has published pictures of Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin hanging out in the evening at a cafe. Sure there are other people in the group but the clear implication is that the IOIL OTP may actually be dating now. His agency has responded and said this was just a group gathering of close friends from the IOIL cast. None of this would be as much of a shocker if Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Min Hee aren’t long time BFFs, and they really are a well-known industry stalwart girl friendship beacon over the years. Draw your own conclusions but even if Gong Hyo Jin and Jo In Sung are really dating, whatever fallout comes from it is for them to deal with so I’m just passing the latest on dit along for those various ships that are either sunk or resurrected because of this development.
Regardless of whether there is some sort of messy love square that happened (is happening), the undeniable element in this story is the long standing BFF friendship between Kim Min Hee and Gong Hyo Jin. To borrow Hae Soo’s phrase – they are each other’s style.

Nah... their friendship is too precious. No way Gong Hyojin would do this to her. I trust her.
Same here.
They were with other people and who knows, maybe JIS needed someone to listen to his probs and who would know his now Ex better than her BFF? She'd make an excellent advisor.
Well, between advising my BFF's ex and my BFF.... I think I'd go for the latter.
That said, this seems just hyped up. Good chemistry on screen doesn't automatically mean anything, other than skilled acting. 'Suspicious' coincidences also don't mean anything. I don't know enough about any of these actors to know how they'd truly behave, but I'd like to be believe GHJ is a good friend. She seems smart, like someone that would know better than to betray a long-time BFF. And professional enough to be able to attend a post-drama outing with the BFF's ex without treading on anyone's toes. Nothing in these pics makes me think otherwise in any case.
Gong Hyo Jin you are my favorite Korean actress and I have seen everything that you have ever been in. I want you to fine your happiness and have your happily ever after. Hopefully this is just another example of your excellent OTP chemistry, but on the of chance that its not, Noooooooo. Hyo Jin-na No. We should never pick a man over our ride-or-die chick. Men will come and go but a friend to weather the bad hair decades with, that only happens once in a life time.
Those photos don't look like much, honestly. They could just be hanging out as a group. But if Jo In Sung and Gong Hyo Jin are indeed dating, then I'm happy for them! I didn't know that Gong Hyo Jin and Kim Min Hee are BFFs though so that just makes it... awkwaaaard. Haha. But oh well, if Jo In Sung is still wooing her, girl's got a tough choice! Super hot man candy vs. Bestie for life. In the words of Gretchen Wieners, "Ex-boyfriends are just off limits to friends! I mean that's just like the rules of feminism." HAHA JK. Go on, date all you want pretty people!
I don't believe it ....I'm a the only one that see JIS holding the other girl hand?
I noticed that too. Either they're shaking hands or he's pulling her away. But then again maybe they knew someone was watching them. GHJ barely even looks or acknowledges JIS in any of the pics.
There seems to be way more going on between him and the other girl actually.
For a sleazy tabloid, Dispatch surely get the buzz worthy news. How do they get these tidbits? There's gotta be insiders info.
Nah. i dont belive that JIS and GHJ are an item.
It maybe suspicious that the span of time of each other relationship breakups announcement is to close (1 week), I can say that there is nothing going on around the lead stars IOIL.
Besides,on what I learn from Korean Ent. dating 101. No artists,nor idols,nor host want their relationship to be revelead in public, coz they want some privacy.
Base on the pictures from Dispatch,I think JIS and GHJ will wear some mouth masks or caps or shades to hide their faces to the public and paparazzis IF THEY ARE REALLY DATING,but as we can see in those photos,they do the opposite.
Do they want to go public? Are they not afraid of what will KMH fans will react?
Who in the world of K Ent.will want to admit they are publicly dating?! I think noome (as far as I know).
People are just hype and conclude dating speculations becaue of the chemistry of the two leads of the recently finished drama that they starred in.
GHJ is too smart and moral to go after her BFFs ex-man. I trust her and the pictures are innocent. They aren't hiding and there are other people there.
Though shippers, seriously... calm down. You don't want this to be true, really.
They already released a statement that their friendship is fine and denied dating
Those BFF pictures from way back are so cute! I'm glad they have each other to get through all the crazy that is K-ent.
Gong Hyo Jin is stupid and slut...
She is a "stupid slut"because she hangs out with her friend at night ...get real.
Even if these hyped up suspicious were true, it's all GHJ's doing but none of JIS's?
Double standards is all I can say.
Whoa! Who r u to say those kind of words?! If u can say that maybe i can say this too.. You fucking slut!!!
You're the one , for posting stupid comments.
