However, fans’ happiness was short-lived as Park Bo Young was quick to debunk rumors and confirmed that everything was strategically planned out by the marketing team to promote their drama. “It was just Song Joong Ki’s [way of promoting the movie]. [His statement] was a public relations stunt planned beforehand,” the ‘Strong Woman Do Bong Soon’ star was quoted as saying by allkpop.com. Here, all we gotta say is the marketing team won but at what cost?
While Park Bo Young’s statement set the records straight, many believed that the couple meticulously planned it to refrain from their private lives becoming a topic of discussion on social media.
Currently, Joong Ki is married to British actress Katy Louise Saunders, and the couple welcomed a healthy baby boy earlier this year. Song Hye Kyo, meanwhile, is reported to be in a relationship with Lee Min-ho. As for Park Bo Young, the ‘Doom At Your Service’ actress maintains quite a low-key profile for anyone to make any wild guesses.
