Choi Kang Hee reveals how she really feels about Joo Won

 
Choi Kang Hee disappointed all the shippers out there by making it loud and clear that she would never date her ‘7th Grade Civil Servant‘ co-star Joo Won no matter how cute he is.
 
During filming for SBS‘ ’Incarnation‘, the rumor of her falling head-over-heels for her much-younger co-star was brought up, and Choi Kang Hee revealed, “I became very close with Joo Won through the drama. We freely had skinship with each other and were always by each other’s side. I think Joo Won is good at making others feel comfortable.”
 
Seeing how close the two are, the MCs couldn’t help but ask, “If Joo Won asks you to date him in real life, would you?” Choi Kang Hee answered, “I wouldn’t date him. I don’t like celebrities. I don’t see male celebrities as men,” confirming that she friend-zoned Joo Won even before she met him.

Lee Jang Woo and his agency finally speak up

 
The silence has finally been shattered by Lee Jang Woo and his reps after netizens voiced out, wanting to hear a response from the actor, who has never spoken up until now.
 
His reps spoke on his behalf, stating, “During the beginning stages of the drama, dating rumors with Oh Yeon Seo came out. Since he had just begun his drama, it was more of a priority for them to focus on acting rather than offer words… The two are of sunbae and hoobae relationship, and have been doing their best with their teamwork until now with the conclusion of the drama up ahead.”
 
“Lee Jang Woo feels sorry to Oh Yeon Seo with speculations regarding the two being brought up again,” said the reps.
 
Another rep from his agency stated, “Lee Jang Woo is quite flustered that a break up report has suddenly surfaced while he’s putting his all into filming… They’re currently focusing on their acting as good friends. He wants to remain good friends with Oh Yeon Seo by wrapping up the filming of ‘Oh Ja Ryong Is Coming’ on a good note… Lee Jang Woo feels really bad that there may be negative effects on Oh Yeon Seo… They’re good sunbae and hoobae so it’s a shame that this kind of article has come out.”
 
As mentioned in the previous article, Oh Yeon Seo’s reps have already spoken about the issue, clarifying the dating and breaking up rumors as they stated, “It’s true that the two had fond feelings for one another, but after the dating report broke out, they decided to just wrap up their feelings.. So now they’re working as just friends.”
 
Thus, it seems that even though there were mutual fond feelings, the two decided to just remain friends after the dating report broke out, rather than pursuing on their feelings. Therefore, their position seems to be that since Oh Yeon Seo and Lee Jang Woo didn’t get to a stage in which they started officially dating, it can’t be considered breaking up.

Oh Yeon Seo and Lee Jang Woo have broken up?

 

 
According to Sports Seoul, the media outlet that broke the dating scandal between Oh Yeon Seo (26) and Lee Jang Woo (27), the two stars have recently broken up.
 
Sports Seoul states that a source close to the actress revealed, “Oh Yeon Seo and Lee Jang Woo have broken up. Although they couldn’t continue as girlfriend and boyfriend, they will continue to have a good sunbae-hoobae relationship.”
 
The close friend also revealed a possible reason for their breakup sharing, “Oh Yeon Seo admitted to the dating scandal. But Lee Jang Woo’s camp took on a passive attitude and cut off contact with the press. It seems Lee Jang Woo’s passive attitude towards the scandal served as the trigger to their break up.”
 
A staff member of the two’s drama ‘Oh Ja Ryong Is Coming‘ allegedly stated, “Because the two of them normally got along well, I would’ve never guessed that they would break up. When I see Oh Yeon Seo getting past her pain from the breakup and continuing to focus on acting, I applaud her as a good actress.”
 
This latest report by Sports Seoul brings about confusion as they seem to ignore all the other statements released by Oh Yeon Seo’s agency after their initial confirmation, leaving netizens to ask, “They admitted they were dating..?”, and others to propose that perhaps it was the lack of response from Lee Jang Woo’s side that led Oh Yeon Seo’s agency to change their position.
 
-
 
To recap on this whole ordeal, Oh Yeon Seo’s agency first confirmed the dating rumors, then they slightly modified their position to say that although the two have been seeing each other, it’s too early to call them a couple, and then did a complete 180 when they denied the rumors completely, saying that the two were no more than sunbae-hoobae. Lee Jang Woo’s side never offered a statement on this issue, leaving things to die down on their own.
 
The dating scandal also brought about controversy due to Oh Yeon Seo’s onscreen marriage with MBLAQ‘s Lee Joon on ‘We Got Married‘ at the time. Through a tearful episode of the faux-marriage program, Oh Yeon Seo also told Lee Joon stated that she and Lee Jang Woo weren’t dating. However, Lee Joon then left a mysterious post, which fans wondered was pointing at his ‘marriage’ with the actress, and soon after, the two pulled out of the show due to scheduling issues.
 
-
 
In response to this latest ‘break up’ report, Oh Yeon Seo’s agency has once again spoken up, stating, “We are a bit shocked since a break up report has come about when the two haven’t dated… The two were swept up in a dating scandal back in January, but they weren’t a couple. They’ve always been just good sunbae-hoobae.”
Lee Jang Woo’s side has once again decided to remain quiet on the issue.
 
Whatever happened between the two in the past, it seems Oh Yeon Seo and Lee Jang Woo’s romance only exists onscreen now, at least until the 17th, when their daily drama is scheduled to end.
