3. Choi Jin Hyuk and Apink’s Jung Eunji
Choi Jin Hyuk recently addressed dating rumors with Apink’s Jung Eunji. The two, who are currently starring in the K-Drama Miss Day And Night, have been caught up in dating rumors more than once.
The latest allegations stem from the co-stars’ appearance on Shin Dong Yup‘s YouTube show.
