The two stars' agencies on Monday confirmed that they are in a relationship after entertainment website Dispatch reported about their dating.

A showbiz source said, "As far as I know, the two have been seeing each other since early this year. As they are top idol stars, rumors of their dating were widespread within showbiz circles".

Kang's fans appeared to be supportive of the relationship. They released a statement saying, "Kang was able to get through a tough time because he had someone who could comfort him".

He recently won a lawsuit against the agency which sold the rights to his exclusive contract to a third party without his consent.
