During the press conference for the upcoming tvN Mon-Tues drama 'I Need Romance 3', held in Patio 9 in Nonhyeondong, Gangnam on January 8, Sung Joon cleared up the dating rumors involving him and Suzy.

Sung Joon explained, "It's something that happened because Suzy is famous... I didn't think it was a big deal, but I woke up and my name was #1 on search engines. That is why it was burdensome, and I realized that I need to be careful with my actions... Following the dating rumors, I felt sorry to Suzy, so I haven't been contacting her."

'I Need Romance 3' centers around a 33-year-old woman (Kim So Yeon) who doesn't believe in love and a younger man (Sung Joon) who still holds onto romantic ideals. The series will premiere on the 13th at 9:40 PM KST!
