However, MBK Entertainment denied the news, saying, "Jiyeon's scandal with Jung Joon Young is a rumor that spread last month. When we checked last month, they were not dating. We checked with her once again, and they are not dating. There is not even 0.0001% possibility. Recently, both of them and 10 other friends went on a vacation overseas together. They were the only celebrities there, and after that, they met up with other friends as well. They are close oppa and dongsaeng, and are definitely not dating."
