Shortly after reports of potential marriage some time this year, singer Kangnam's label Jinah Entertainment stepped up to respond with a denial. 

A rep from Kangnam's label stated, "The reports that the couple plan to get married by the end of this year are not true. It has only been 5-6 months since Kangnam and Lee Sang Hwa began dating, and they are still in the budding stages of their relationship. Of course, in a relationship, a couple can think of marriage, but currently they are not at that stage. The reports that they officially introduced each other to their parents are also false. Because they are both public figures, they simply met with their parents on both sides for greetings."

Meanwhile, Kangnam and Olympic speed skater Lee Sang Hwa admitted to their relationship back on March 16. The two met while filming SBS's 'Laws of the Jungle'.
