The dating rumor mill is up and running again concerning top Korean actor, Park Seo Joon.
On Thursday, May 23, Korean news outlets AllKpop and Koreaboo reported about an alleged relationship between Seo Joon and an American actress. The lady in question is 26-year-old Lauren Tsai.
Reports stated that the two celebrities were allegedly spotted together in Japan. At first, Seo Joon was photographed with a woman on Saturday, May 18, which netizens later identified to be Lauren. But the only indicator that netizens had on was a photo of Lauren seemingly using the same bag as the one in Seo Joon's stolen public pic.
As Koreaboo translated, the person who uploaded the photo captioned their post, "Today, I came across Park Seo Joon. We were the only ones to notice, and the staff told us to keep it a secret. This morning, by chance I was watching Kill Me Heal Me before leaving, and it felt like it was fate."
Park Seo Joon's love life
To refresh your memory, Seo Joon was actually linked to South Korean YouTuber, xooos, back in June 2023. Rumors about their pressumed relationship circulated after designer Oleg Moscal uploaded a photo of the actor and xooos during a trip to London. Oleg's caption for the now-deleted photo read, "My best friends (And my sweet girls)."
Both Park Seo Joon and xooos' agencies responded with a brief statement saying that they couldn't confirm the news, as it pertained to their artists' personal lives. Seo Joon's agency Awesome ENT stated, "It is difficult to confirm facts related to our artist’s personal life. We’re sorry. Please kindly understand."
At the same time, Seo Joon has long expressed his desire to keep his life outside of showbiz, very private and completely separate.
Who is Lauren Tsai?
As of writing nothing has been confirmed by either camp, but if you want to know more about Lauren Tsai, here's a quick background.
Lauren is not just an actress, she's also a great illustrator. She shares her works via Instagram, and we are in awe!!!
One of her recent pieces is titled "Ending Song." Lauren conveyed how she came up with her newest art, noting that it is a manifestation of her running toward her dreams and inspirations—without leaving anything unfinished.
A part of her heartfelt caption read, "While painting, I felt near to the “me” who wanted so badly to make this years ago, and felt how much I’d changed since starting. “Ending Song” is a years-long beginning, a small piece to a vision I will continue to chase, and a promise kept. I’m grateful for this time and this painting which has followed me so long."
