Jihyo, a member of K-pop girl group TWICE, and Olympic skeleton champion Yun Sung-bin have been embroiled in dating rumors following a report by a local media outlet on Monday.

The report suggested that the pair have been romantically involved for approximately a year, supposedly bonding over mutual interests in sports and often engaging in quiet dates at home.

Both Jihyo's agency, JYP Entertainment, and Yun's agency, All That Sports, have declined to confirm the alleged relationship when approached by the media. JYP Entertainment cited privacy reasons for refraining from comment, while All That Sports asserted that commenting on the private life of a retired athlete is challenging.
