However Ji Chang Wook and Yoona's chemistry was incredibly convincing and to date, people continue to speculate the stars' true relationship. To this, Ji Chang Wook has once and for all cleared the suspicions.
"The dating rumors involving Yoona are not true," Ji Chang Wook clarified in an interview with dongA on Dec. 1. "I just worked hard and, again, a lot of people came to misunderstand this time. So I thought, 'Again?' and just laughed."
Ji Chang Wook may have shared a really intimate relationship with Yoona on set, and as their characters, to a point that rumors of them dating in real life kept resurfacing. To make sure that it is not negatively affecting the actress to be in such kinds of rumors, the actor shared that he talks to Yoona about the matter.
"I always try to be very considerate of the actress," Ji Chang Wook added. "I've also talked to Yoona about these rumors and we just laughed it off."

"I think good acting results when working together in a comfortable environment," Ji Chang Wook remarked. "And that also helps to increase the viewers' focus but that tends to lead to misunderstandings. I think that's what happened again this time."
Ji Chang Wook then said that he would rather describe his relationship with Yoona as a close oppa-dongsaeng or brother-younger sister.
