Meanwhile, SBS released a statement saying, “Park Tae Hwan and Jang Ye Won are merely good friends, with no particular relationship,” while reps of Park Tae Hwan commented, “The two were in the stages of getting to know one another. It seems perfectly normal for two young people to meet and talk over dinner.”
