Boy band BEAST member Yong Jun-hyung's agency Cube Entertainment has confirmed that the rapper is still dating KARA member Gu Hara.

“We checked with Yong himself and he told us they are still a couple,” an official with Cube told 10Asia over the phone.

KARA's agency DSP Media has confirmed the two are still together as well, proving a report from earlier in the day saying they have ended their relationship as false.

Gu and Yong had made headlines in late-June after admitting to their relationship when photographs of the two surfaced online.

Yong is the rapper of his six-member group, which has been one of the most popular boy bands in Korea since making their debut in 2009. They have been focusing on promoting their first full-length Japanese album "SO BEAST" since its release last month.

Gu is a member of her also highly popular female K-pop group which debuted in 2007 and is considered one of the most successful Korean girl groups to break into the Japanese market. The girls recently released the music video for title track "Step" from their third full-length album of the same name.
