Just more than a week after denying that they are dating, Korean stars Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are once again speculated to be an item. This time around, photos of them together in the United States were shared online.

In the photos, the two were spotted spending time together in a grocery store somewhere in the U.S. The Memories Of The Alhambra actor is photographed sporting a baseball cap while pushing a shopping cart while Son is wearing sunglasses and choosing goods from the grocery shelves.

In response to the new dating rumor, Hyun's agency VAST Entertainment confirmed that the two hang out together but they were with some friends. The agency explained that the actor heard that the Something In The Rain actress is currently in the U.S. so they meet up with their other friends. VAST added that Hyun and Son's friendship is just misinterpreted by some.

"The misunderstanding seems to have occurred as the two are close friends of the same age, and it was magnified more because Hyun Bin and Son Ye Jin are famous figures. The dating rumors are not true," VAST Entertainment said in a statement (via Soompi).

Nearly two weeks ago, rumors emerged that the two are having a couple vacation in California. Hyun allegedly met up with Son's parents and dine together while on vacation in Los Angeles.

However, Hyun and Son's respective agencies denied the reports. Hyun's agency VAST Entertainment confirmed that the actor is currently in the U.S. for business and personal schedule. Son's label MSTeam Entertainment, on the other hand, stressed that the actress traveled alone in the U.S. and her parents are also currently in Korea.

The two were first speculated to be dating when they worked together in the 2018 crime movie The Negotiation. During an interview for their movie, Hyun Bin talked about his dating life and revealed that he is not dating anyone at the moment. The Secret Garden actor said he has no time to date because of his busy schedule.

At the time, the Hallyu actor is promoting The Negotiation which premiered in cinemas in September 2018. After which, he started promoting the Rampant which was released in October. Then he started with the promotions of his latest K-drama Memories of the Alhambra alongside Park Shin Hye.

Hyun had been in a high profile romantic relationships in the past. He dated Encounter actress Song Hye Kyo from 2009 until 2011. In 2016, Hyun admitted that he is dating Kang Sora. The couple, however, broke up after almost a year of dating due to their busy schedules.
