3. Choi Jin Hyuk and Apink’s Jung Eunji
Choi Jin Hyuk recently addressed dating rumors with Apink’s Jung Eunji. The two, who are currently starring in the K-Drama Miss Day And Night, have been caught up in dating rumors more than once.
The latest allegations stem from the co-stars’ appearance on Shin Dong Yup‘s YouTube show.

There is no chance. We are like brothers. Eunji scolds me a lot. Whenever she says anything I just apologize. Because we are so close, I didn’t feel there was any romantic interests.
