KARA's Hara was supposedly spotted on a date with model-turned-actor Lee Soo Hyuk in Japan.

The two stars were seen shopping together in Tokyo's Harajuku district on July 29 by both Japanese and Korean fans. However, the agencies of both parties have denied the rumors and come forward to state that they're just friends.

DSP Media commented, "It's true that they met in Tokyo, but they're not dating. Harajuku is a very busy place, and both of them knew that Korean tourists were around them. Lee Soo Hyuk needed to buy something, so as a dongseng, Hara helped him out."

Lee Soo Hyuk's agency Sidus also denied the rumors, stating, "He's friends with Kim Young Kwang, who starred in KARA's drama 'Secret Love', and through Kim Young Kwang, he started up a friendship with the KARA members."
