Girls' Generation (SNSD)'s Sooyoung was surrounded by dating rumors with actor Jung Kyung-Ho, making fans and netizens curious about what the truth is.

Fantagio, Jung's agency, told Asia Today on February 27, "The two are friends, not lovers. They became friends through meetings at church."

SM Entertainment, Sooyoung's agency, also commented, "Sooyoung and Jung Kyung-Ho got to know each other through meetings at church last year. They are merely in a senior-junior relationship. They are not dating," denying the rumors.

One media outlet had reported that Jung Kyung-Ho and Sooyoung happened to meet each other after Jung was discharged from military service in September last year, and emerged as lovers at the beginning of the year.

According to the report, Jung met Sooyoung as her fan while Sooyoung gradually had a good feeling toward Jung, and they enjoyed going to the movie theater for their dates just like other lovers.

As the dating rumors emerged, Jung's previous interview is attracting a lot of attention again.

An interview Jung gave after he completed serving the military duties in September 2012, in which he said, "During my service, all the girl groups gave me a lot of strength but especially Girls' Generation's Sooyoung gave me a lot of energy."
