However, the 27-year-old actress' entertainment agency Salt Entertainment denied the rumours and stated that they are just close friends. According to the agency, the two are students of the same university and they did not go alone for vacation.

"They merely have a close senior-junior relationship. As Park Shin Hye and Choi Tae Joon are both students at Chung Ang University, they have maintained a good friendship as industry senior and junior," a representative of the actress stated.

While the missing 9 star is majoring in theatre, the Doctor Crush actress is studying drama and cinema at the Chung Ang University in Seoul. The agency claimed that their fans are already aware of their friendship.

"Fans are very well aware of their friendship. Park Shin Hye went to the park not only with Choi Tae Joon, but with many other fellow students as well. It seems that, despite the fact that there were a lot of people, many recognised only Choi Tae Joon and Park Shin Hye," Soompi quoted Salt Entertainment.
