New year yet same old dating rumor to start things off on the second weekend. K-stars Gong Yoo and Jung Yumi were swept up in a wedding rumor today and both stars mutual agency has released an official response denying the rumor. An anonymous post claiming by an employee of Shilla Hotel saying that Gong Yoo reserved the famed venue for an upcoming wedding and the bride was to be Jung Yumi. Gong Yoo has had two major dating rumors in the last two decades, the first was with Im Soo Jung for the first half of his career and the second half has been dating rumors with Jung Yumi, who he has worked with twice in The Crucible and most recently in Train to Busan. They belong to the same agency and are openly close friends, even doing cameos in dramas for the other, and honestly their dating rumors have gone on for so long and so consistently I wouldn’t be surprised if they really are a couple. That doesn’t mean they are getting married soon but only time will tell, not now it’s still quick denials all around.
Song Joon ki and Song Hye Kyo did the same thing, they denied dating then surprise they announced a wedding. Not calling him old but Gong Yoo is already at an age that if he plans to marry he would.
In my opinion, SongSong did the right thing..If they admitted their relationship back then, there would be so much pressure and stupid fangirls & journalists would bother them (esp song hye kyo)…Woman’s side suffers more in public relationships…
Congratulations to the happy couple.
I have learnt a lesson that if they are consistently being rumored together, chances that they are a couple is indeed high. I did not believe Lee Jun Ki dated Jeon Hye Bin back then but they were rumored together since 2014 and resurfaced again in 2015 and boom, I should have known.
The rumors about Gong Yoo and Jung Yumi reminded me of Kim Nam Gil and Son Ye Jin who I believe dated for a period of time (despite both agencies denying) but now I think the relationship has gone down in flame and they are no longer being linked anymore. So I am going to apply the same belief with GY and JYM And come on, they are both of marrying age already and just the right time to settle down.
there is always an iota of truth in rumours and I will not be surprise if they are really dating,they make a lovely couple.
Sorry but he’s dating me
That’s every fan girls’ dream.
It’s okay Gong Yoo ajhussi, you can admit your relationships. Someone your age not having a girlfriend is too weird.
Lol, true! Congrats to the happy couple!
I think he’s just a very private person.
Yumi seems nice girl. Yoo Ah In and kang Dong Won were reported dating her several times just because they are close. In case of Yumi, I think she just a buddy for Gong Yoo. I don’t see them as a couple by their interaction off screen. Yumi has this kinda tomboy aura that well matched with boys just like Han Ji Min or Song Ji Hyo. I really thought Yumi had a little crush on Eric since she just turn to be so ‘girly’ when he arounds. Anyway, wish the best for both of them.
Omo, first I heard about Seo Hyun Jin’s crush on him and now Yumi?…Such a stud! Every girl seem to fawn over that guy:/ Never understood his appeal to be honest (acting and look wise)
Same here.
U should watch Na PD.. 3 Meals a Day then u’ll know why he’s soo attractive.
He’s a husband material.
Being honest, Eric is good looking enough but not that superbly handsome. Seeing him in variety show, I can understand why girls like him. He’s gentle, calm and always take care of people and I see him more like a farther figure lol. Other girls who adores him are Yoona SNSD, Han Ji Min (he saved her life in car accident during film) and Yoon Eun Hye (they flirted a lot in X-Man variety show). I saw the interview of them during KBS drama awards where Yumi always ask Eric’s help when she didn’t know how to continue her sentences and Eric helped her a lot. So, I think this perhaps the reason why the girls adore him easily.By the way, I wont’ be surprise if Gong Yoo and Yumi are real cpuple though. See their short clips in youtube. They always joke around comfortably. Maybe just like Song-Song couple, they will throw bomb anytime soon.
Hahaha good, just do a SongSong, deny deny then get married this October.
Congrats! Be happy!
I always thought they were an on-off long term couple like Song Ye Jin and Kim Nam Gil. I wouldn’t be surprised if they just dropped a wedding news one day. But for now looks like it’s not.
If they are dating- congratulations!!! Such a lovely couple.
I wanted a GongGong couple *Gong Hyo Jin/Gong Yoo but I really like these two also so…i’m actually happy with this news LOL. Its nice to read about him being linked to someone,, its exciting news to hear. Jung Yoo Mi was linked to Yoo Ah In and I honestly thought they would get together but I haven’t heard about them lately.
haha speaking of gonggong, gong hyojin’s reaction was so cute.
Lol! What did she say!?
haha she was joking around, saying that how come she and gong yoo were never rumored to be dating, but were instead known as “gong gong siblings”.
These two have such wonderful chemistry and really look good together…..I’d be so happy if they were together
one thing I’ve learnt over the years is that when it come to dating rumors knetz know their shit like 80% of the time it ends up being true. I don’t know if they are a couple now or not but I do think they’ve dated at some point. Personally i think they look good together but Im happy for them either way.
Still ppl have said that if they were really dating dispatch would’ve broken their dating news over gd and that girl on new years since its bigger so we never know
Actually both share the same agency. They release a statement: Gong Yoo and Jung Yoo Mi’s agency Soop Entertainment stated, “We are releasing a statement regarding the rumor that’s spreading on social media and various online community sites right now. The rumors about Gong Yoo and Jung Yoo Mi are totally false. From here on out, we will be taking firm legal action against rumors and malicious comments.”
A source from the agency further commented, “The marriage rumors between Gong Yoo and Jung Yoo Mi aren’t true at all. The two aren’t even like siblings; they’re like brothers. Gong Yoo treats Jung Yoo Mi like a younger brother.”
Saying not dating is one thing. They are like brothers. That is a funny responce.
I read that too! What’s worse then being a sibling to a guy? Being treated like a brother! Lol I thought that comment was a joke and pretty harsh. Lol So much for killing any type of ship. Lol
I agree, I love Gong Hyo Jin response too. She is offended why she was never shipped with him since both are closed friends. Made me laugh.
gong yoo really does have a type
im soo jung, jung yumi, and he’s a hardcore fan of jeon do yeon since he was young
Gong yoo is kinda Lee Seo Jin or Jung Woo Sung. They like girls but not to the state want to have commitment. And Yumi is easy going girl that like to hang out either with men or women. She loves joking with her costars like a lot. I seriously think she likes/liked Eric. Because Eric is the only guy that I could see her become shy and all lol.
lol.hahahaha.But then Song Hye Kyo also said and I quote “Song Joong Ki and Yoo Ah In probably see me as a noona who buys them food, when she the topic was about fating and marriage.”That was like in February..cant remember but it was in 2017.July the same year.Song Song.We are getting married.
As for Gong Yoo and Jung Yoo Mi.Eh if they are dating, they match.If its true, congrats to them.Gong Yoo is at the age where marriage and dating is a huge cause for celebration.Jung Yoo Mi is a great girl.What is there to bash avout her.Any stupid Gong Yoo fangirl, trying to make a fuss will just be seen as a delulu.The majority of Gong Yoo’s fanbase would be on the mature side rather than teens.Although I know other ahjummas can be just as delusional.
I think its a bit insulting to her that she is viewed as a brother – it could have been less harsh – why can’t they say they are just friends but its like she was put down.
Could have been more gentlemanly or kind about the whole thing.
Why are people so obsessed with other people’s love lives? If the big announcement happens, then people should congratulate and move along. Why make useless speculations? Just let these celebs live and date freely without any pressure from the public.
Congrats to youu,,, love Gong Yoo and Jung Yu Mi
