AceShowbiz - "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim" stars Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young have been hit with dating rumors. Local newspaper Sports DongA reported in its July 27/28th edition that the on-screen lovers are also an item in real life.

According to the newspaper, the 29-year-old actor and the 32-year-old actress' relationship began way before they become co-stars on the recently concluded tvN drama. They reportedly have been dating secretly for three years now, but kept it a secret, even to their close friends.

"Many are curious about their relationship," said a so-called insider. "But they didn't want their personal lives getting more attention than their work so they kept it a secret, even to their close peers and had 007-like dates."

While no other Korean media outlets confirmed the dating reports, netizens are convinced they have "evidence" of the two stars' relationship. They claimed that Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young wore couple items and traveled to places together among other things.

However, Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young's labels have denied the dating news. Park Seo Joon's agency Awesome ENT said in a statement released on Friday, July 27, "Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young are just close colleagues. The dating reports are not true. We believe that there is a lot of interest [from others] due to their chemistry in the drama."

Namoo Actors, which represents Park Min Young, similarly stated, "We have looked into the rumors of Park Min Young and Park Seo Joon dating. They are just close colleagues," and added that "their dating reports are untrue."

It appears that the dating reports sparked from the chemistry shown by Park Seo Joon and Park Min Young on their drama series "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim". The show, which is based on the web novel of the same title by Jung Kyung Yoon, scored high ratings leading to its finale which aired on Thursday, July 26.
