Park Ji Hyun has set the record straight after rumors about her love life began spreading online. Her agency, Namoo Actors, quickly stepped in to deny the speculation, confirming that her recent holiday was simply a friendly getaway with her personal trainer and other acquaintances — nothing more.
The buzz started on October 9 when Park Ji Hyun shared a few cheerful snapshots from her Chuseok holiday on Instagram. Captioned “A jam-packed holiday,” the post showed her relaxing and enjoying her time off, playing board games, and lounging on a sofa wrapped in a towel.
But one particular photo caught netizens’ attention — a reflection in the window seemed to show a man taking her picture. Within hours, the image began circulating on social media, with fans speculating that Park might be dating someone.
However, the truth turned out to be far simpler. On October 10, Namoo Actors addressed the situation through a statement, saying, “Park Ji Hyun simply went on a trip with her personal trainer and some acquaintances.” The agency emphasized that it was a casual group trip and that no romantic involvement was involved.
Interestingly, Park Ji Hyun had already tagged her travel companions’ social media accounts in the original post — a detail many overlooked amid the frenzy. One of those tags belonged to her trainer, who was joined by his spouse during the trip. That clarification, along with the agency’s prompt response, helped put the rumors to rest almost immediately.
While the dating buzz briefly took over online discussions, many fans expressed support for the actress, noting how easily innocent moments can be misinterpreted in the public eye. For celebrities, especially in South Korea’s entertainment industry, where personal privacy is often overshadowed by public curiosity, even the smallest details can snowball into gossip.
On the work front, Park Ji Hyun continues to enjoy a thriving career. Just last month, she drew widespread praise for her performance in Netflix’s drama known internationally as You and Everything Else.
Following the show’s success, Park is reportedly reviewing several new projects, including a potential role in the upcoming film Wild Thing alongside Kang Dong Won, drama Let’s Go to Work Tomorrow with Seo In Guk, and more.
