TWICE Jihyo's Dating News Reaches JYP Entertainment, Agency Releases Official Statement
On March 25, news outlet SWAY disclosed that Jihyo of TWICE had been dating athlete Yun Sung Bin.
According to the exclusive report, Jihyo and Yun Sung Bin met for the first time through mutual acquaintances. The relationship between the two eventually developed romantically, and with the claims, Jihyo and Yun Sung Bin have reportedly dated for a year.
SWAY reported that the two stars would go out on a date across the Geumho neighborhood, in the district of Seongdong. Insiders then stated that their romantic connection began due to their common interest in exercising, as they indicated that the two became gym buddies.
"Jihyo and Yun Sung Bin are sports enthusiasts. Yoon Sung Bin taught Jihyo how to exercise and became acquainted with her," an insider shared. "They had a lot in common, so they quickly developed into a romantic relationship."
On the same day (March 25), JYP Entertainment finally addressed the dating news. The agency shared that the matter would be difficult to confirm, as the context mainly involves the artist's personal life. It also asked for everyone's consideration.
"It is difficult to confirm this matter because it is a private matter," JYP stated. "Thank you for your understanding."
Yun Sung Bin's agency All That Sports also responded to the reports saying, "He is no longer an active athlete, so we do not manage his personal life. Confirming would be difficult."
In an online post, here's how fans reacted to Jihyo and Yun Sung Bin's dating rumors:
- "I acknowledge this couple."
- "If this is true, I'll congratulate them."
- "What a sexy couple."
- "Jihyo has some good taste in men. First Kang Daniel and now Yun Sungbin? Girlie knows her worth."
- "So much dating news in the past month wtf we used to get two a year maybe, but I think social media made it harder to hide it."
- "If it's true, this makes sense in my mind. Like of course Jihyo would date an Olympic gold medalist."
- "They are both hotties, my eyes are blessed. Good for them!"
- "Assuming it's true, glad it's an athlete (a gold medalist at that) and not an idol. Seems like a good match with their love for working out."
