Actress Kim Jung-eun confirmed Wednesday that she is in a relationship.

Following reports that she was in a relationship with a member of an affluent family and was planning to wed in the near future, Kim confirmed the reports through her agency.

The 39-year old actress, however, said that marriage was not yet on the cards. 

 

“(Kim and her boyfriend) are seeing each other as good friends and a romantic couple. However, as (Kim) is in the middle of shooting a drama, she is focusing only on acting,” Kim’s agency said.

Kim, is currently starring in MBC’s “Make a Woman Cry,” also conveyed her hopes to avoid having her personal life raise concerns for the drama’s producers.

“If there is news of a wedding or other good news, (Kim) will let the public know. For now, no plans about the future are being made.”

Although a local women’s magazine initially reported that Kim’s boyfriend is a member of a chaebol family, other news organizations reported that the man in question is a fund manager for a foreign financial institution.
