Another romantic rumors ensue as TWICE's Jihyo and Olympic skeleton racer Yun Sung-bin are dating, a Korean media outlet reported.
In an exclusive report, Sway said the two began over a year ago through a mutual connection and grew into a budding relationship.
The media outlet also noted that Jihyo and Yun are five-minute drive away from each other, leading the two to have dates in each other’s homes.
An entertainment industry insider told Sway that the two share the same interest as fitness enthusiasts, with Yun teaching Jihyo exercise and becoming close friends. Since the two have much in common, the insider said it bolstered their relationship.
Meanwhile, Jihyo’s agency JYP Entertainment released a statement early Monday, stating: “It is difficult to confirm this matter as it is a private matter. We ask for your understanding.” (via Newsen)

Yun won a gold medal in the 2018 Winter Olympics for men’s skeleton racing. He is now working as a broadcaster following his retirement in 2022.
