2013 Autumn, the Season of Scandals, and Now Bae Sung Jae and Park Sun Young?

We're just a little past October, but just in this month we have already seen three romantic scandals. Add these to the rumors form the previous months, and we have an unprecedented number of rumors involving stars dating each other. Yes, it's the season of romance in Korea, and with every new rumor the word "scandal" seems redundant. However, the year is not over and there will be more "scandals" to come, so let's see how these stars managed to settle down the wildfire rumors spoken about them.

SBS Announcers Bae Sung Jae and Park Sun Young have been the number one search in the search engines all day today. The rumor surrounding them is that they have been dating secretly for 3 years.

When SBS was confronted about these rumors, they confessed that they had no idea if any of it was true. Bae Sung Jae humorously and honestly tweeted after hearing the rumors, saying, "When she was hired as an announcer, I really tried hard to ask her out. She rejected me a few times, and after that we became good friends. Perhaps someone with old news spread that rumor."

This tweet was well received by his followers and news correspondents alike, who were saying that Bae Sung Jae was "honest, concise and to the point" and that his response "left nothing to wonder about".

Actress Lee Da Hee, who is currently making a play for the top TV actress of the year with two runaway hits "I Hear Your Voice" and "Secret", was a part of a rumor that's been sweeping the social networking sites that she has been dating the owner of her own management company.

Koo Bon Kwon, the CEO of Lee Da Hee's management company, denied the rumors, saying, "We are just co-workers. I guess the spotlight on Lee Da Hee was due to her rise in popularity. We maintain a good business relationship."

Miss A's Suzy was pictured in a "couple picture" with actor Sung Joon. They appeared together in the popular drama "Gu Family Book". The rumor was that they began dating throughout the series, but both of their management companies denied those rumors.

Many of these rumors were found to be simple misunderstandings that stemmed from being close friends or business partners. They may be in a relationship with each other, but the relationship was not defined by romance.
