Kim Ji Won’s Recent Airport Appearance Fuels Romance Speculations With Kim Soo Hyun
Queen of Tears co-stars Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won have gotten tied up in a dating rumor following a recent public appearance of the latter.
The success of Queen of Tears, which became the most successful show in terms of viewership in tvN‘s history, has been largely attributed to the cast, especially the chemistry between the leads. As expected, viewers started “shipping” the actors, wishing they date in real life.
Though their behind-the-scenes interactions have sparked romance speculations before, nothing significant has ever emerged from them. However, Kim Ji Won’s recent airport appearance has set off new rumors.
The speculations started after the actress arrived at the Incheon Airport on May 12 to depart from South Korea to Singapore for a Bulgari perfume launch event. In the videos of her at the airport, Kim can be seen surrounded by multiple security personnel, but one of them stood out to hawk-eyed fans. They recognized the bodyguard easily as the same person who frequently accompanied Kim Soo Hyun at multiple of his international schedules.
