South Korean A-lister Park Seo Joon is caught up in rumors of a new romantic involvement with singer and internet personality Kim Soo Yeon, also known as “xooos.” While the Itaewon Class star is yet to confirm the circulating news, he said in a press conference that his relationships are a “personal matter.”

“I’m grateful for the attention, but in my case, I tend to feel greatly burdened by opening up my private life [to the public],” Park Seo Joon stated. “I think it will be difficult for me to particularly comment.”

In response to the ongoing rumors, Park Seo Joon’s agency Awesome ENT also backed up the Hallyu talent. “It is difficult to confirm facts related to our artist’s personal life. We’re sorry. Please kindly understand.”

The top Korean actor, who is headlining the upcoming disaster-thriller film Concrete Utopia, asked his fans to divert their focus on his forthcoming project instead. In a media event last June 21, he requested, “Since today is the first official scheduled event for Concrete Utopia, please show lots of interest in the film.”
