Photos of actress Soo Ae enjoying "dates" with Taewon Entertainment CEO Jung Tae Won have recently surfaced online, but her representatives denied that such a relationship exists.

Soo Ae's agency Star J Entertainment stated on the 2nd, "It is not true that Soo Ae is dating CEO Jung. They are merely close friends."

Ahead of their official statement, SportsSeoul reported that Soo Ae was indeed dating Jung Tae Won whose agency produced mega projects such as 'IRIS' as well as 'Athena : Goddess of War'. For those out of the loop, Soo Ae had a prominent role in Athena : Goddess of War.

The two were rumored to be pretty serious, but CEO Jung also made an official statement saying, "I have been asked a number of times regarding the nature of our relationship, but every single time I dismissed these suspicions because they simply did not reflect the truth. But this time, I consider it an invasion of privacy and I plan to take legal action."
