WINNER's Nam Tae Hyun and actress Jung Ryeo Won are currently wrapped up in dating rumors. According to reports, the two have been dating for approximately a year now after meeting through a mutual friend.
An exclusive report from Xports News said Nam Tae Hyun and Jung Ryeo Won became close because of their common interest in arts. The report further claimed that the two have been enjoying public dates since Nam Tae Hyun announced he would take a time off from WINNER because of health issues. The couple was reportedly spotted on a date in Shinsa-dong, Gangnam a few days ago.
The rumored couple has a 13-year age gap. Jung Ryeo Won is 35 years old while Nam Tae Hyun is only 22, which added shock to the news.
Back in February, netizens suspected Nam Tae Hyun was dating due to his posts on social networking sites but his agency, YG Entertainment, denied the rumors.
Jung Ryeo Won's agency quickly made a statement to address the rumors, claiming that the two are just friends. Meanwhile, YG Entertainment has yet to make an announcement.
"[The reports] about dating Nam Tae Hyun are completely false. It's not true," a source from the company stated, according to Soompi. "Nam Tae Hyun and Jung Ryeo Won are just friends. They are not dating. We are startled by the news," the company added.
Jung Ryeo Won is a singer-turned-actress who rose to fame with her role in 2005 drama "My Name is Kim Sam-soon." She also starred in other dramas including "Which Star Are You From?" (2006), "History of a Salaryman" (2012), "The King of Dramas" (2012), "Medical Top Team" (2013) and "Bubble Gum" (2015). On the other hand, Nam Tae Hyun debuted with WINNER in 2013. He had his acting debut on web drama "Midnight Girl" in 2015 which was followed by a supporting role in "Late Night Restaurant."
