Heo Nam Jun and Hong Yi Seol are caught up in dating rumors that exploded online.

The controversy began after fans spotted close interactions between the two My Royal Nemesis co-stars. Heo Nam Jun stars as the male lead Cha Segye, while Hong Yi Seol plays a secretary in the SBS drama.

Soon after, speculation spread fast, turning the rumor into a hot topic in fan communities.

Hong Yi Seol addressed the gossip head-on with a social media post denying the dating claims.

I’m writing this carefully because there have been ongoing stories about me recently.
The actor being mentioned and I are simply good colleagues who became close while taking classes together in university. The dating rumors are completely false.
I hesitated to speak up because I was worried my post might lead to further misunderstandings, but I felt I had to clarify directly as the continued speculation could cause trouble for the other actor.
All current dating rumors and drama-related claims are not true, so please don’t worry. I would appreciate it if people could refrain from further speculation.
— Hong Yi Seol

Despite her clear statement, discussions haven’t died down. The rumors keep spreading across various fan circles.

Heo Nam Jun has not commented on the situation.

Meanwhile, My Royal Nemesis is enjoying a rise in attention. The drama hit a new high in ratings — 10.5% — after these rumors blew up.
