Park Seo-joon said to be dating YouTuber Kim Soo-yeon, friend of Blackpink's Jennie

UPDATE: JUNE 22

At a press conference on June 21 for his upcoming film Concrete Utopia, Park Seo-joon was asked by a reporter to comment on his relationship rumours. He said: "I heard that there was such news belatedly as I'm currently filming a project now. The first thought I had was, 'A lot of people are interested in me.'"

However he refrained from commenting, saying that he was "grateful for the attention" but felt "greatly burdened" by opening up on his private matters to the public.

"Since this is a personal matter, I think it will be difficult for me to particularly comment," he added.

South Korean actor Park Seo-joon, 34, is rumoured to be dating YouTuber Kim Soo-yeon, according to reports yesterday (June 20).

An entertainment insider reportedly told JTBC Entertainment News recently that their relationship is so "special" that he has introduced her to his best friends.

The insider also claimed that the couple are "enjoying small dates", sharing their hobbies and exercising together.

Seo-joon's agency Awesome Entertainment responded that it's "hard to confirm" information regarding his personal life.

Widely known as xooos, Soo-yeon, posts original songs and covers on her YouTube channel, which has 1.5 million subscribers. Her cover of Charlie Puth's Light Switch has amassed 35 million views.

The 29-year-old is also good friends with Blackpink's Jennie, which led to fans speculating on the connection between the three.

In an Instagram post on May 11, Soo-yeon posed with Jennie and model Ju Hee-jung, with the caption "And my sweet girls."
