Earlier this year in January, Hong Jong Hyun was caught up in a dating rumor with Nana when a local media source reported that the two have been dating for about seven months. While both sides denied that they were dating, the rumor with Nana caused more controversy than expected because, at that time, Hong Jong Hyun was filming “We Got Married” with Girl’s Day‘s Yura. Although the show is a “virtual reality” show, pairing up two people in a fake marriage, it is necessary for the cast to maintain the projection that there is possibility for a real relationship that goes beyond the make-believe. If one of the “spouses” get caught up in a dating rumor with someone else, the fragile believability of the show is broken.
