Since the Dispatch Couple is nowhere to be found (and we will probably skip this year for the New Year couple), several Korean stars dating news were rumored and reported to kick-start 2024. We’re just four days into this year, yet social media and the South Korean entertainment industry face dating rumors here and there, so let us summarize it all for you. Here are all the rumored matches that we got from media outlets and gossip sites. Are any of these true? Find out here.
Who Are The Korean Stars Dating This 2024?
The fans have been anticipating the Dispatch Couple announcement, but they will not probably release it anytime soon. The media outlet will miss out on the revelation this year, as it was reported that this is a way to give respect to the passing of veteran actor Lee Sun Kyun. So for fans waiting, you can probably stop refreshing your X or Facebook feeds. Instead, you can check out this list of Korean stars dating news in 2024.
- Former APRIL member Lee Na Eun and soccer star Lee Kang In
On January 2, news outlet The Fact released a series of photos alleging the singer-turned-actress and athlete went out on dates last November 2023. According to the exclusive report, Lee Na Eun visited the soccer player’s dorms or the two would spend time in her house or car.

In a quick turn of events, Lee Na Eun and her agency, Namoo Actors, responded to the dating news and denied the romance. In the statement they released, they mentioned that the two are only acquaintances.
- Former APRIL member Yang Ye Na and football star Seol Young Woo
Yes, another K-pop girl group member from APRIL faced a dating rumor with another football star. It became a hot topic online, as a K-netizen tweeted about the matching phone cases and hats with their separate photos. The football shoes are somehow convincing, but that’s not enough confirmation of their romance.

The parties have yet to respond to this dating rumor. Netizens have been jokingly talking on theqoo about the two athletes and former co-members going out on double dates. But, if ever this rumor is true, we hope for the best for Yena and Young Woo!
- Actors Kim You Jung and Song Kang
The acting industry has no escape from these circulating Korean stars dating news on social media. A random TikTok account posted two photos from Dispatch of the alleged My Demon lead stars. While many hoped it was real, unfortunately, it wasn’t.

The Dispatch images used featured ex-couples, Descendants Of The Sun’s SongSong, Song Hye Kyo and Song Joong Ki, and Reply 1988’s Lee Hye Ri and Ryu Jun Yeol. We couldn’t contain our hearts when we saw Kim You Jung and Song Kang’s chemistry on screen, so by any chance this could be true, we hope the best for them! But for now, we hope people stop spreading false information about these celebrities and other people.
We’ll surely update this Korean stars dating list once more rumors come out this January. Do you think any other dating rumors would emerge this year? Share them with us in the comments below.
