Comedian Heo Kyung Hwan and rhythm gymnast�Shin Soo Ji were swept up in dating rumors once again, but have firmly denied the rumors.

A media outlet reported recently that the two had been dating for five months even though the two had previously denied the relationship back in October of 2012, when rumors first started circulating.

According to the media outlet Heo Kyung Hwan even went on a trip to Japan with the gymnast and that the 'Gag Concert' cast and crew were already aware of the relationship.

However, both sides have once again put down the rumors as being completely false. Shin Soo Ji's reps further discouraged the rumors stating, "Shin Soo Ji is close not with just Heo Kyung Hwan, but other members of 'Gag Concert' as well. The rumors about her going on a date with the comedian in Japan are not true. They had simply had one dinner together when they both happened to be there. Soo Ji is very upset about the continuing rumors."
