Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung have become the center of intense online speculation after what many fans believe is a clear piece of evidence suggesting the two stars may be dating.
On June 20, online communities across Asia were buzzing after netizens claimed to have discovered a significant clue linking the two actors romantically.
According to reports, Kim Seon Ho was recently spotted at Incheon International Airport as he prepared to depart for Thailand for a fan meeting event. During his appearance, the actor reportedly held up his phone in a way that allowed cameras to capture part of his lock screen.
Eagle-eyed fans quickly zoomed in on the image and claimed that Kim Seon Ho’s smartphone wallpaper featured a promotional poster from Can This Love Be Translated?, the drama in which he stars alongside Go Youn Jung. What attracted even more attention was the fact that Go Youn Jung had previously revealed that she also uses the same drama poster as her phone wallpaper.
As a result, many fans immediately speculated that Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung could be in a romantic relationship and were subtly showing their affection through matching phone screens.
The rumors gained even more traction because Kim Seon Ho has recently faced one of the biggest controversies of his career due to allegations related to tax issues. Some netizens even suggested that Go Youn Jung must have strong feelings for the actor if she is willing to stand by him during such a difficult period.
As of now, neither Kim Seon Ho nor Go Youn Jung has publicly responded to the dating rumors.
The pair became a favorite among viewers after their chemistry in the hit drama Can This Love Be Translated?, which aired earlier this year. Many fans have actively supported the couple and hoped that their on-screen romance would eventually become real. If Kim Seon Ho and Go Youn Jung were ever to confirm a relationship, they would likely become one of the most visually admired celebrity couples in the Korean entertainment industry.
Born in 1986, Kim Seon Ho officially entered the entertainment industry at the age of 23 as a musical actor. He made his television debut in 2017 through Good Manager and later gained widespread recognition for his memorable second-lead role in Start-Up (2020). His popularity soared internationally after starring in the hit drama Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha in 2021, establishing him as one of the most prominent Hallyu stars overseas.
This year, while enjoying success with Can This Love Be Translated?, Kim Seon Ho also faced negative publicity related to alleged tax evasion. Korean media accused him of operating a one-person corporation and transferring personal income into the company structure to reduce tax obligations, drawing comparisons to similar allegations involving Cha Eun Woo.
In February, Kim Seon Ho addressed the controversy through his agency. The actor issued an apology and admitted that his lack of knowledge regarding the establishment and management of a single-person corporation led to financial mistakes. His agency stated that he had already paid any outstanding taxes. Many observers interpreted the statement as an indirect acknowledgment of tax-related issues involving his family-owned company.
To date, tax authorities have not announced an official investigation into Kim Seon Ho. However, legal experts have noted that if allegations regarding improper corporate operations and tax avoidance are proven true, the actor could face severe consequences, including possible criminal penalties.
Attorney Roh Jong Eon of Jonjae Law Firm explained that simply failing to register the required entertainment management business category while receiving management-related income could potentially violate South Korea’s Popular Culture and Arts Industry Development Act, carrying penalties of up to two years in prison.
Meanwhile, Go Youn Jung, born on April 22, 1996, is widely regarded as one of the most talented and visually striking actresses of her generation. Before entering acting, she studied Contemporary Art at Seoul Women’s University and first gained attention as a model thanks to her widely praised visuals.
After making her acting debut in He Is Psychometric in 2019, Go Youn Jung quickly established herself through notable performances in projects such as Sweet Home, Alchemy of Souls, and especially Moving (2023), where she received widespread acclaim for her role as Jang Hee Soo.
By 2026, Go Youn Jung had firmly secured her place among Korea’s top-tier actresses, becoming one of the industry’s most sought-after stars thanks to her ability to excel in both action-packed and emotionally driven roles.
