Lee Jung-hyun denies dating director

Singer-actress Lee Jung-hyun denied rumors that she is dating Kim Han-min, the executive director of “The Admiral: Roaring Currents” (2014), after news speculating that they are in a romantic relationship spread on the Internet yesterday morning.

Lee wrote on her personal Twitter account yesterday afternoon that it is “groundless” to think she and Kim, someone who she likens to her “father,” are dating.

Lee is 34 and Kim is 44.

Ilgan Sports, an affiliate of the Korea JoongAng Daily, quoted an insider from Big Stone Pictures, the production company behind “Roaring Currents,” who confirmed that Lee and Kim are not in a romantic relationship and that Kim laughed when he read the false news articles.

Lee played a supporting role in “Roaring Currents,” a local blockbuster that received more than 17 million views.
