On December 18, SBS Entertainment News reported that Song Mino and Park Ju Hyun have been in a relationship for two years. Reportedly, they started dating after working together on the 2022 Netflix film ‘Seoul Vibe.’ The news comes after Mino recently attracted controversy for neglecting duty during his ongoing military service.
The report also noted the affectionate gestures of the duo towards each other which fuelled their dating rumors.
