Kim Soo Hyung reignites his 'Hae In' dating rumours

When a fan asked Kim Soo Hyun to marry his Queen of Tears co-star Kim Ji Won in real life, the actor shut down the rumors once and for all with a strong reply that read, "Watch dramas as dramas." However, Kim Soo Hyun has unexpectedly reignited his dating rumors, but with a different Hae In.

Recently, Kim Soo Hyun and actor Jung Hae In featured on Good Day as BIGBANG G-Dragon's 88 Land friends, alongside Yim Siwan, Lee Soo Hyun, and Hwang Kang Hee. While the group's camaraderie was undeniable, it was Kim Soo Hyun and Jung Hae In who stole the show with their bromance.

Throughout the episode, Kim Soo Hyun couldn't stop calling out "Hae In-ah! Hae In-ah!" much to Jung Hae In's amusement. The Snowdrop actor eventually had to intervene, saying, "Stop calling my name." Kim Soo Hyun's thoughtful gestures, such as giving Jung Hae In his blanket when he sat on the ground, left fans absolutely floored, ultimately reviving his 'Hae In' ship.

Fans couldn't help but rave about their chemistry, with some implying it's the Hae In in Jung Hae In's name that has Kim Soo Hyun floored. ¡°Jung Hae In is ¡®Hae In,¡¯ too,¡± one fan wrote, while another mentioned, "This is insane.¡± ¡°I mean¡­ He is the Hae In that Kim Soo Hyun kept looking for," a third fan wrote. ¡°These comments, LOL. You all are too into it, right?¡±
