Actor Park Seo-joon (34) responded to the dating rumors with a YouTuber that surfaced the day before.

On the morning of the 21st, at the production briefing for the movie Concrete Utopia (directed by Um Tae-hwa) held at Lotte Cinema Konkuk University in Jayang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul, Park Seo-joon was asked about the dating rumors and said, "I am currently filming a project, so I only found out about the news late yesterday."

The previous day, a media outlet reported that Park Seo-joon and YouTuber Sus (29, Kim Soo-yeon) are dating and that they are close enough to introduce each other to their acquaintances. Afterwards, his agency stated, "It is a private matter, so it is difficult to confirm."

Park Seo-joon said, "The first thought I had upon hearing the dating rumors was, 'I am receiving a lot of attention.' I also felt grateful for that attention." He added, "Personally, I feel burdened to open up about my private life. It is difficult to say anything special."

He urged, "More than that, since this is the official first schedule for Concrete Utopia, please show interest in the movie."

The movie Concrete Utopia, set to be released in August, depicts a story that begins as survivors gather in the only remaining Hwanggung Apartment in Seoul, which has become a ruin after a massive earthquake.
