Seungyoon of boy band Winner is rumored to be dating actor Mun Ji-hyo.

On Thursday morning, pictures of a couple holding hands wearing matching-colored clothes quickly circulated online. Netizens speculate that the couple is Seungyoon and Mun, both of whom are represented by YG Entertainment.

Although both are wearing masks in the pictures, some netizens say the man's outfit is the same as one worn by Seungyoon on May 7.

Seungyoon, whose real name is Kang Seung-yoon, became known to the public after auditioning for Mnet’s singing contest “Superstar K2” (2010). His cover of singer-songwriter Yoon Jong-shin’s 2010 song “Instinctively” became a No. 1 hit on local music charts at the time. He subsequently made his debut as member of Winner in 2014.

Mun, a rookie actor, made her first screen appearance through Mnet’s audition show “High School Rapper” in 2017. She also appeared in the music video of Seungyoon’s solo single “Born To Love You” this March.

YG Entertainment says it will not be able to confirm the rumor “as it’s a personal matter.”
