Dating and Past Relationships
Love is in the air for actress Jung Eun-chae (37). Her agency, Project HOSU, spilled the beans on March 21st, confirming her relationship with product designer and entertainer Kim Chung-jae (37). Both sides agree they’re “dating with positive feelings,” and it seems their artistic connection is the spark. Kim, a graduate of Kookje University (Western Painting) and Hongik University’s design program, shares Jung Eun-chae’s passion for art and design. Interestingly, Jung Eun-chae started at the prestigious Central Saint Martins art school in the UK before pursuing acting.
While their current relationship is blossoming, whispers of Jung Eun-chae’s past relationships have also surfaced. Back in 2013, rumors swirled around a possible connection with Japanese actor Ryo Kase (49). The significant age difference and his existing relationship raised eyebrows, but Jung Eun-chae’s agency shut down the rumors, stating they were never an item.
Another dating scandal resurfaced in 2020, linking Jung Eun-chae to singer Jung Joon-il (41). Reports claimed she met with him while he was married, with his wife suspecting an affair. Things got messier when Jung Joon-il’s side hinted Jung Eun-chae knew about his marriage. Jung Eun-chae’s agency fought back, clarifying the meeting happened years ago and she was unknowingly involved. They emphasized it was a situation resolved over a decade back.
