Baek Jin-Hee’s Dating Rumors and Ex Boyfriend
The report states that actor Park Seo Joon (27) and Baek Jin Hee (25) have been dating for the past two years. Though they denied the dating rumors that surfaced last year, it has been revealed that they have been maintaining an intimate relationship, contrary to the public statements they have made in the past.
Park Seo Joon and Baek Jin Hee first met in the 2013 MBC drama “Pots of Gold,” as a young and immature married couple, and continued their relationship from there. According to a media representative, on January 5, the two had already been dating for two years. When the scandal between them broke last July, their managing agencies denied their relationship by saying they were only close friends.
According to another media representative, Park Seo Joon and Baek Jin Hee did not want the public to know that they were dating because their careers had just started to gain attention. They decided that revealing their relationship would only become a burden to their acting career, especially when they were just starting to receive the spotlight from their dramas.
However, despite their agencies’ denial, the two caught the eyes of viewers by wearing identical couple rings, and sharing pictures of wearing jackets from the same brand on social media.

Baek Jin-hee and Yoon Hyun-min’s Dating Rumors
They kept it a secret for almost a year, but now it’s out. Baek Jin-hee and Yoon Hyun-min have been in an exclusive relationship.
Having met on the set of My Daughter, Geum Sa Wol in 2015, Baek Jin-hee and actor Yoon Hyun-min still haven’t gotten enough of each other, as their respective agencies just released statements confirming that the two were indeed in a committed relationship. “It is true that Baek Jin-hee and Yoon Hyun-min are dating,” read a statement from Baek’s agency, J.Wide Company. Yoon’s management released a statement confirming the relationship as well, and the two have been together since April of 2016.
Baek Jin-hee’s Appearance on Running Man
On a recent episode of “Running Man,” which featured 2PM and actress Baek Jin-hee, Lee Kwang-soo came to Baek Jin-hee’s rescue with his shirt after a slight mishap.
Supportive and Cheerful, Baek Jin-hee in Jugglers
In the drama, Baek Jin-hee plays a Jwa Yoon Yi, a supportive secretary who works hard to be recognized by her boss (Choi Daniel). Her character is expected to be very relatable, as an ordinary employee completely at the beck and call of her boss.
In the new stills, however, Baek Jin-hee is publicly humiliated by Jung Young-joo, who physically assaults her and pours water over her at a restaurant. Baek Jin-hee’s dining partner is not seen in the photos, even when Jung Young-joo eventually drags Baek Jin-hee out by her coat.
The scene in question was filmed on November 29 at a hotel in the Gangnam district. Baek Jin-hee and Jung Young-joo had to film the water scene from many different angles, and worked with the director Kim Jung-hyun to match their actions, timing, and facial expressions perfectly.
Naturally, the relationship between the actresses was perfectly cordial off-camera, with Baek Jin-hee remaining cheerful throughout the shoot to make sure the older actress was comfortable with the tough scene, and Jung Young-joo making sure to tidy her hair and clothes when the cameras were turned off.
