Pop singers Yong Jun-hyung from Beast and Goo Ha-ra from Kara have denied rumors of a break up.
Goo's management agency told the press yesterday that "it's a groundless rumor" and that the two are still dating.
The couple admitted to dating after they were caught out on a date in late June.
A month later, rumors that the couple had already broken up began to circulate.
It used to be taboo for singers and actors to date openly. Former K-pop singer Moon Hee-joon said on many TV shows that he and other members of H.O.T., a boy band popular in the late 1990s, were not allowed to date because their agents believed it would distract them from their work. Other K-pop singers have said the same, with some telling the media that their agencies even confiscated their cell phones to prevent them from dating.
But things have changed and many agencies now announce that their singers are in relationships. Recently, SM Entertainment, the leading entertainment management company, said last October that Jong-hyun, a member of SHINee, was dating actress Sin Se-kyeong. And when the couple broke up after eight months because of their schedules, SM announced that, too.
