South Korean singer/actor Lim Chang-jung, 41, denied Wednesday local media reports that he is dating actress Lim Eun-kyung, 30.

Reports said the two actors had met on the set of film “Extraterritoriality,” to be released this year, and had begun dating.

Lim Chang-jung’s agency, NH Media, told Yonhap the reports are untrue.

“We confirmed with him. He said she is a close friend but that they are not in a romantic relationship.”

Lim Chang-jung debuted in 1990 as an actor and has gone on to generate both box office and music chart hits.

Lim Eun-kyung debuted in 1999 in a commercial and has since starred in films “Resurrection of the Little Match Girl” and “Marrying School Girl.”
