The management companies of both TWICE’s Jihyo and former athlete Yun Sung-bin have released a brief response regarding rumours of their supposed relationship.
On 25 March, JYP Entertainment stated that it was hard for them to confirm whether the rumour was true or not as it concerned the privacy of their artiste.
“We ask that you will understand,” the company added.
Meanwhile, Yun’s agency All That Sports echoed a similar response, though added that they do not manage his personal life as he is no longer an active athlete.
It was early on 25 March that several Korean tabloids reported that the Winter Olympics gold medalist has been dating the singer for a year. The two of them were supposedly introduced by a mutual acquaintance and naturally started dating.
It was also reported that the two lived a five-minute drive from each other and there were witnesses who saw Yun entering and leaving Jihyo’s place.
