Actress Han Hye Jin and soccer player Ki Sung Yueng (or 'Ki Sung Yong') recently denied the rumors floating around that they are in a relationship, following news of the actress and Naul ending their nine-year relationship.

Han Hye Jin's camp responded, "We are shocked and furious. A sad and hurtful rumor is floating around, and we don't know how this could be done to people who haven't broke up long ago. At first, the corresponding rumors were not worth defending, but the matter has gotten bigger than expected."

Ki Sung Yueng also denied the dating rumors and confirmed, "It is not true."

These rumors surfaced after some claimed that a 'H' initial was spotted on Ki Sung Yueng's Cyworld accompanied by his words, "Baby I love you". Since Ki Sung Yueng previously featured on an episode of SBS' 'Healing Camp' and chose Han Hye Jin as his ideal type, some assumed that the H stood for Han Hye Jin, leading to rumors that suggested that the actress had ended her relationship with Naul due to Ki Sung Yueng.
