SEE ALSO: SECRET NUMBER's Léa has now left the group, following the end of her exclusive contract

In a report by Yonhap News on the 9th, an insider stated, "The two met and broke up and got back together again and have been dating for a long time... They have been spotted strolling together at a shopping mall in Seongsudong, Seongdong District near Eric's home."

Another insider also commented, "Na Hye Mi attended the 'Shinhwa 16th anniversary concert' at Olympic Gymnastic Arena last month, showing her affection for her boyfriend... If you type Eric on portal site search engines, Na Hye Mi also comes up in related keywords and to that extent, many fans are already aware of their relationship."

Although some reports claimed that Eric's side had already confirmed the relationship, his agency later spoke up to tell several media outlets, "It's true that Eric and Na Hye Mi did date previously... However they break up and get back together so frequently that we are not sure of their current status... It's hard to give you a confirmation because we can't seem to get in touch with Eric... Once we get in touch, we'll release an official statement."

Stay tuned for an update with the official statement.
