In a recent interview, Bae In Hyuk addressed the swirling rumors surrounding his alleged romantic involvement with Lee Se Young.
It's not uncommon for lead actors in dramas to be the subject of speculations suggesting a real-life romance, and this was no different for Bae In Hyuk and Lee Se Young following their roles in "The Story of Park’s Marriage Contract."
The on-screen pair even found themselves nominated for the coveted 'Best Couple' award at the MBC Drama Awards 2023. During the ceremony, their public display of holding hands sparked renewed rumors.
However, Bae In Hyuk sought to set the record straight during a recent interview. He emphasized that their hand-holding was more of a gesture and not indicative of a romantic involvement. In his own words:
"While we did hold hands, we did not interlace our fingers. Being nominated for the Best Couple award, and considering the other fantastic senior actors nominated in the category, we thought, 'Let's showcase good chemistry too.' Additionally, since the drama had not concluded yet, our on-screen chemistry was still fresh in people's minds."
This clarification comes as a response to the speculations that gained momentum after their seemingly affectionate display at the awards ceremony.
