Jang Theo (aka Jang Tae Oh) and Jung Yujin (aka Chung You Jin) have recently been the center of relationship rumors in Korean entertainment circles. Following their appearance on Netflix’s dating reality show Single’s Inferno Season 4, fans noticed how close the two were and spotted them together on several occasions. A report from My Daily on September 4, 2025, claimed that the co-stars were romantically involved.
However, Jang Theo has now clarified the situation, firmly denying the rumors. He emphasized that he and Jung Yujin are just close friends and nothing more. In a statement to Ilgan Sports, his team explained that the two spent time together due to overlapping promotional schedules in the Greater China region after the show, as well as appearances at fashion weeks, which may have fueled misunderstandings.
On Single’s Inferno 4, their friendship stood out for being playful and supportive—they encouraged each other to pursue interests in other people rather than expressing direct romantic intentions. Neither ended up paired on the show, and their continued camaraderie led some media outlets to misinterpret it as a budding romance.
Jang Theo is known for his roles in KBS Joy’s Love Naggers 2, KBS2’s Man in a Veil, and KBS1’s The King of Tears, Lee Bang Won. Fans seem reassured that his bond with Jung Yujin is strictly friendly, despite the speculation.
