A Close-Up From BIFF Sparks a Buzz
When Kim Yoo-jung dropped a photo with rising actor Kim Do-hoon on Instagram, fans didn’t just double-tap—they dove right into the rumor mill. The picture, which shows the two looking quite close at the Busan International Film Festival (BIFF), set K-drama forums ablaze.
Behind the Scenes of ‘Dear X’
Turns out, the intimate snapshot wasn’t a soft launch—it was a promo moment. Both stars were attending a red carpet event for TVING’s upcoming original series ‘Dear X’, where they play onscreen counterparts. The caption? Just the basics: “Dear X. Busan. BIFF.”
Vietnam Vacation? Not So Fast
The plot thickened when netizens shared alleged pics of the two at a Vietnamese airport back in May, claiming they were spotted traveling together. That added fuel to dating rumors—until Kim Do-hoon’s agency stepped in.
“After wrapping up filming for ‘Dear X’, the cast and director went on a group trip. Photos might look like it was just the two of them, but it was far from a couple vacay,” stated PEAK J Entertainment.
K-Drama Chemistry ≠ Real-Life Romance
K-Drama fans sometimes blur the lines between script and reality. But for now, it looks like the Kim Yoo-jung–Kim Do-hoon ship is staying in the fantasy lane. Still, with all this buzz, ‘Dear X’ might get a nice ratings bump when it drops.
Coming Soon: ‘Dear X’
Set to stream on TVING, ‘Dear X’ promises sizzling drama—and apparently, offscreen speculation too. With Kim Yoo-jung leading the charge and Kim Do-hoon rising fast in the ranks, it’s one of the season’s most anticipated shows.
Could this ‘shipped’ duo become the next iconic K-drama pairing? We’re not rooting for rumors—but we’re here for the chemistry, both on and off the screen.
