Their romance has generated a lot of curiosity with fans wondering how they met. Song Ha Yoon's agency JYP Entertainment, too, seems to be in the dark. Shortly after dating rumours began doing the rounds the agency released a statement saying they were looking into it.

Huang Xuan recently opened up about his dating life, saying he wanted his partner to share his love for travelling. Not surprisingly, Song Ha Yoon is also fond of exploring new places. "I want to meet someone who can travel with me," Xuan was quoted as saying by Dramafever. "It takes someone who has a strong rapport with me, based on similar values and compatible mental state, to travel with me, so that we'd make the same decisions to enjoy what to eat, where to say, and even who to meet during the travel. For instance, if I want to visit Bhutan, but she says there's nothing to do there, so let's go to New York. That just won't work out."

He continued: "Travel is also where the most direct experiences and impressions can reveal whether we can communicating to reach consensus, or simply crash on collision. If she has the same impression when encountering even a small detail, a simple scene, a short sentence, or a situation, we would be on the same frequency. If these basics can't be established, I don't think there's much more to talk about."
