At first their agency came out with the announcement, that they have to confirm with Lee Joongi and Jeon Hyebin, whether they are dating or not.
Soon after, the second statement was released and this time their agency confirmed, that both actors were really in a relationship.
Lee Joongi and Jeon Hyebin met in 2014th during a drama shooting where they co-starred and became close friends.

Two became closer to each other as time passed and were cautious with their relationship. Since they were close friends, they try to proceed cautiously with their relationship. Please see the two actors kindly and please support them too. Thank you. – Said Namoo Actors officials.
