Singer Kim Jun-su is not dating former Lovelyz member Kei, Kim’s agency Palmtree Island said on Friday, contradicting an earlier report by news outlet Mydaily.

“The dating rumors of Jun-su and Kei are not true and are groundless,” the agency stated. “Kei is an artist who is represented by Palmtree Island, an entertainment agency established by Kim and their relationship does not go beyond that. They are just artists working in the same industry.”

The agency asked the press and public to refrain from spreading false information.

Kei signed with Kim’s agency on Dec. 1 after Lovelyz disbanded in November. She starred in the recent production of “Death Note,” which ended its run in June at the Chungmu Arts Center, central Seoul. Kim played a lead role too.

Kim is a former member of boy band JYJ, who is now an active in musicals and as a solo artist.
