One of the most awaited K-dramas of 2025, Dear X, starring Kim Yoo-jung, has finally premiered. Fans are loving it and praising Yoo-jung for her amazing performance as Baek Ah-jin. Many believe this might be one of her best roles yet. But along with the excitement, rumours have started that she is dating her co-star Hwang In-yeop in real life. Fans have been watching closely, trying to figure out if there is any truth to the speculation.
In the drama, Hwang In-yeop appears from episode 5 as Heo In-gang. He is a former idol turned actor who has become a top star with record-breaking success. Despite his fame, he struggles with inner sadness. When he meets Baek Ah-jin on the red carpet, sparks fly. Fans feel the chemistry between the two characters is electric.
Social media has been filled with comments claiming that Kim Yoo-jung and Hwang In-yeop are dating off-screen. Some even said her agency confirmed it. But this is false. The agency has denied all rumours. Still, fans continue to imagine the two together and create content about them. The drama’s recent episodes, showing their on-screen romance, have only added to the speculation.
Fans are so impressed with their chemistry that some are asking for a full K-drama with them as the main leads. One fan wrote on X, “Turns out I wasn’t that ready for Yoo-jung and In-yeop as lovers in a drama, actually.” Another said, “Hopefully after the special appearance, someone casts them as main leads.”
Dear X is currently available for streaming on Viki, Disney+, HBO Max, and TVING. Fans are eagerly following every episode and can’t get enough of the pair’s on-screen moments.
