Actress Nam Sang Mi has denied that she is currently dating a M&A (mergers and acquisitions) professional. News were rife yesterday that Nam Sang Mi had been dating a M&A professional who was older than her by 5 years. They apparently met each other last year and became friends but progressed to a dating relationship this spring. It was also reported that this M&A professional holds a significant amount of shares in a leading fashion brand and has a strong financial background. He also often gives advice to Nam Sang Mi and lends her his shoulder in times of need. Nam Sang Mi dismissed the rumors on the 22nd in a phone interview and said in exasperation, "This is definitely not true. And I am hearing about this for the first time. If there's really someone like this, please tell me who it is. I don't know of anyone in the financial sector. I only changed to a new management agency recently and my new horror movie Living Death will be airing at cinemas from 13th August. I don't really have time to do other things and I won't hide if I am really dating someone." One can only speculate whether it's a gimmick to promote her movie.
