[OSEN=Kim Soo-hyung] Girl’s Day member turned actress Yura recently addressed her unexpected dating rumors with comedian Yang Se-chan on SBS’s variety show ‘Running Man’, playfully joking about the situation and turning the set upside down.
During the October 18 broadcast, Yura appeared as a guest and directly brought up the dating rumors linking her to Yang Se-chan, demanding an explanation and expressing her frustration over the groundless claims.
The rumor apparently started from a casual joke made by Haha. What began as lighthearted banter snowballed into bizarre speculation online that Yura and Yang Se-chan had a romantic history in the past. Yura shared her bewilderment, stating, “It was a massive issue. Netizen investigators claimed that Yang Se-chan’s ex-girlfriend was Yura.” She added that because they were close, everyday comments from fans constantly connected her normal life to Yang Se-chan.
Tired of the rumors being treated as fact, Yura took matters into her own hands. She even used a lie detector test to prove she had never dated Yang Se-chan, venting her frustration. She confronted Yang Se-chan by asking, “Why didn’t you clear up the rumors?” To which Yang Se-chan apologized belatedly, saying, “I’m sorry. You explained it well,” drawing laughter.
Yura remarked, “I’ve never had a dating rumor in my entire life. If anything, this counts as my dating rumor with Yang Se-chan,” noting that Yang Se-chan left an unexpected mark on her 17-year career free of public relationship scandals.
However, after complaining of her innocence, Yura abruptly changed her tone to shock everyone. She mischievously quipped, “It’s not obvious. We went out, but it’s not obvious at all,” joking as if they had actually dated. Her sudden pivot from strongly denying the rumors to fueling the suspicion sent the set into a burst of laughter, leaving a flustered Yang Se-chan completely caught off guard.
Ultimately, the dating rumors were wrapped up in a lighthearted manner thanks to Yura’s active clarification and witty banter, showcasing her stellar variety show skills.
