Juyeon of boy band The Boyz denied rumors that he is dating actor Shin Si-a.

Rumors arose on online communities earlier this week that the two have started dating.


Online users cited pictures in which the two celebrities had the same-shaped stickers on their phones, similar key rings and other similar fashion items such as jackets.

The two co-starred in a short film titled "Young-Young," which premiered at the 26th Jeonju International Film Festival on May 5, which sparked fan suspicions.

Juyeon's agency, One Hundred Label, shot down the rumors with a short statement.

"The rumors of the two dating are not true," the agency told reporters on Tuesday.

Juyeon, born in 1998, debuted as a member of boy band The Boyz in 2017. Shin, also born in 1998, made her debut in 2022 with the film "The Witch: Part 2. The Other One."
