Today, Korean media revealed that former I.O.I and PRISTIN member Lim Na Young is rumoured to be in a romantic relationship with actor Choi Woong, who is 9 years her senior. The management agency has also released an official statement in response to the reports.

According to media reports, it is said that the two of them flew to Australia together in March to attend the "2023 Adelaide Fringe Korean Festival." After the festival ended, they allegedly embarked on a sweet romantic trip abroad.

It is reported that Lim Na Young and Choi Woong met through the play "Hello, The Hello: Odelo" and formed a connection through their participation in the play. However, Choi Woong's agency, The Creative Entertainment, immediately responded to the dating rumors, stating, "The dating rumors between Choi Woong and Lim Na Young are not true. They simply developed a close relationship through their participation in the play," clearly drawing a line.

On May 15th, Lim Na Young's exclusive contract with her agency SUBLIME expired, and she left the company, currently being in an agency-free state. She has not responded to the dating rumors as of now.

Netizens have expressed various reactions to the dating rumours between the two. Some find it surprising, stating, "Oh! It's surprising to see them together, especially considering he is a familiar actor!" Others have remarked on their compatibility, noting, "They seem well-suited for each other, and the 9-year age gap doesn't appear to be noticeable!"

Lim Na Young participated in the reality competition show "PRODUCE 101" in 2016 and secured the 10th place, which led to her debut as a member of the temporary group I.O.I. After the disbandment of I.O.I, she joined the girl group PRISTIN under Pledis Entertainment, which unfortunately also disbanded. Currently, she is pursuing her career as an actress.

Lim Na Young's rumoured romantic interest is actor Choi Woong, who debuted in 2012 with the KBS drama "Bridal Mask." He has since appeared in popular dramas including "My Love from the Star," "Descendants of the Sun," "Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok-joo," "100 Days My Prince," and "Clean with Passion for Now."
