Rumors have turned out to be true once more as actress Han Hye Jin and soccer player Ki Sung Yueng (or 'Ki Sung Yong') have been confirmed to be in a relationship!

The rumor made its way around months ago, following the actress and Naul ending their nine-year relationship, when netizens dug up mysterious initials spotted on the soccer player's Cyworld. However, both sides had denied the rumor at the time.

Then the rumor came back in full swing just recently after a media outlet reported that they were spotted out on a secret date and netizens once again spotted the initials 'HJ SY 24? written on his cleats. SY clearly stood for Sung Yong, and netizens again questioned if the HJ stood for Hye Jin.

However, instead of outright denying the rumor this time, the soccer player stated that he will comment on this matter after his match.

He has kept his word as he directly confirmed the rumors to be true on his twitter just earlier, writing, "The game has ended now, and I'm now announcing, whether this is good news or not [to all of you], that Han Hye Jin and I are seeing another with good feelings... We haven't been dating long, so we've been careful... But it's not like we've done something wrong, and we wanted to see each other as we've become big sources of strength for one another... I'll just say this shortly, we'll continue seeing each other happily."

The two seemed to have kept in touch after Ki Sung Yong's previously featured on an episode of SBS' 'Healing Camp', where he chose Han Hye Jin as his ideal type.
