Thanks to the Korean entertainment scene and its numerous media outlets, even a casual indirect conversation between two stars can sometimes ignite dating rumors.
Such has happened with Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon and actor Kang Dong Won, as Ten Asia claims the two stars “might just spark dating rumors with comments like these.”
During an episode of MBC Radio FM4U‘s Jung Hee of Hope Music Kim Shin Young, Kang Dong Won was a guest discussing his new movie The Plot. During a light-hearted exchange, DJ Kim Shin Young brought up Taeyeon’s previous appearance on the program and mentioned how, when posed with the hypothetical of either inviting Kang Dong Won to her home or being invited to his, Taeyeon had opted for the latter.
Kang responded with another light-hearted comment, saying he too preferred receiving invitations, but hinted he might invite Taeyeon in the future. The comment sparked laughter and further teasing from DJ Kim, who joked about supporting Taeyeon until she eventually dined at Kang’s personally crafted ten-person table.
Though light-hearted and said in a seemingly joking manner, Ten Asia’s report on their comments has surged to the top of NAVER’s most-viewed articles of the day.
Within just a few hours, the article attracted nearly 140,000 views, becoming a hot topic across South Korea.
