Who is Hong Yi-seol, the subject of Heo Nam-jun's dating rumors?! Brave New World, Profile, Instagram, Age

Dating rumors between actor Heo Nam-jun and model and actress Hong Yi-seol have spread across online communities and social media, but Hong Yi-seol herself has personally denied the claims. Hong stated that she and Heo Nam-jun are merely good colleagues who became close while taking classes together during their college years, and clarified that the dating rumors and drama-related stories currently circulating are all untrue.

 

The two garnered even more attention due to their connection from appearing together in the SBS drama *Brave New World*.

 

 

1. How did the dating rumors between Heo Nam-jun and Hong Yi-seol start?

Rumors of a romantic relationship between Heo Nam-jun and Hong Yi-seol spread through speculative posts on online communities and social media.

 

 

It appears that dating rumors arose from the fact that the two appeared in the same project and are known to have known each other since their college days. Heo Nam-jun is currently playing the lead role of Cha Se-gye in the SBS Friday-Saturday drama *Brave New World*, while Hong Yi-seol appeared in the same series as Cha Se-gye's secretary.

 

However, most of the grounds presented for the dating rumors were closer to unconfirmed speculation. One cannot conclude that they are actually in a relationship based solely on the fact that they attended the same school or appeared in the same drama. This is especially true when actors' names are mentioned together while a drama is airing; even a small acquaintance or a single scene often quickly escalates into a rumor.

 

With Hong Yi-seol's direct clarification, this latest dating rumor also appears to be settling down as a baseless incident.

 

 

2. What did Hong Yi-seol say in her explanation?

 

Hong Yi-seol directly denied the dating rumors with Heo Nam-jun by posting on her social media on June 13.

He stated, “I am cautiously writing this post because there are rumors circulating about me recently,” and clarified that the actor being mentioned is merely a good colleague with whom he became close while taking classes together during college. He then clearly drew a line, stating that the dating rumors are completely untrue.

 

Hong Yi-seol also explained why she could not clarify the situation immediately from the beginning. She stated that she hesitated to come forward for fear that her post might cause further misunderstandings, but decided to speak out directly because she felt the continuing speculations would be a burden to her co-star. She also urged people to refrain from further speculation, emphasizing that the dating rumors and drama-related stories currently circulating are all untrue.

 

It was an explanation that carried the nuance of hoping the other actor would not be harmed, rather than just a simple denial.
