After the release of reports suggesting his dating relationship with KARA member Kang Jiyoung, Supernova's Park Geon Il has come out with a statement denying such claims.
The singer's agency said, "Rumours about Park Geon and Il and Kang Jiyoung dating are all false. Park Geon Il is on good terms with all KARA members since both of their agencies work together often. When they were in Japan, both visited each other while filming the drama, and they also watched performances together. This rumour started because they have a good relationship with each other."
This is in response to the Japanese news report claiming that Kang Jiyoung decided to leave KARA to study overseas because Park Geon Il, who the report suggested was Jiyoung's boyfriend, had studied abroad before.
Kang Jiyoung and Park Geon Il both starred in the TV Tokyo drama "Rainbow Rose". Park Geon Il also made a cameo appearance on Jiyoung's music video for "Wanna Do" in which both played a couple.
DSP Media had previously announced that they know nothing about Jiyoung dating Park Geon Il, and they currently in the process of verifying the rumours.
