Rumors of a relationship between Korean actor Kim Moo Jun and Japanese actress Nagano Mei have taken a controversial turn. The 25-year-old Japanese actress was accused of two-timing after her past relationship timeline surfaced.
The two met during the filming of the Japanese love comedy ‘Caster’, currently airing on TBS.
Recent reports from the Japanese weekly Shukan Bunshun have stirred controversy regarding actress Nagano Mei’s romantic relationships. According to their report, she had been in a serious relationship with actor Tanaka Kei since last year after meeting on a 2021 film set.
However, new claims suggest Nagano may have simultaneously been involved with a Korean co-star, Kim Moo Jun, from her current drama ‘Caster’, which premiered on April 13. Multiple sources report she invited the Kdrama actor to her home several times during his stay in Japan.
The Japanese entertainment industry has been rocked by allegations surrounding married actor Tanaka Kei and his “And the Baton Was Passed” co-star Nagano Mei. The married father of two – who tied the knot in 2011 – is now at the center of infidelity claims alongside Nagano, with whom he shared the screen as stepfather and stepdaughter in the 2024 family drama film.
The scandal intensified when Shukan Bunshun reported the co-stars had been in a relationship since 2023. Complicating matters, the Japanese star is simultaneously embroiled in dating rumors with a Korean co-star.
On April 23, his agency, 9ato Entertainment, dismissed dating rumors stating that Kim Moo Jun and Nagano Mei are just “close colleagues”.
Kim Moo Jun, born on May 24, 1998, is a rising star in the Korean entertainment industry. He gained recognition through notable roles in “My Dearest”, “Sorry Not Sorry”, “Nevertheless”, and “Love All Play”.
Mei Nagano is a Japanese actress born on September 24, 1999, in Tokyo. She debuted in the 2009 film “Hard Revenge Milly: Bloody Battle” and has since become a top actress in Japan. Some of her notable works include “My Love Story!”, “And So the Baton Is Passed”, “Riding a Unicorn”, and more.
