Shinhwa member Jun Jin, who is currently serving his mandatory two year military service, has denied dating Korean actress Chae Min-seo.

"We have checked with Jun Jin and he confirmed that the two are not dating. They have met and had dinner but it was with several other fellow actors," an official from his agency Open-World Entertainment explained, adding that Jun and Chae are just in a senior-junior relationship as actors.

The official continued to state, "We have also confirmed this with Chae's agency as well and they too have revealed that the dating rumors are not true. Lately there have been several cases where people use stars for noise marketing so we believe this might be one of those cases."

After debuting in 1998 as a member of boy band Shinhwa, Jun Jin has released solo albums and currently appears in various TV shows. He is currently fulfilling his military duty, working as a public service worker in Kangnam.

Chae Min-seo made her debut in the 2002 movie "Champion." She has since appeared in several dramas including "Romance Hunters" and current SBS series "Don't Know Her" and films such as "Loner" (2008) and "Vegetarian" (2009).
