Actor Park Seo-joon is rumored to be dating Chinese American model and actor Lauren Tsai, with Park's agency saying it can't confirm this as it relates to his private life.

On Thursday, the Taiwanese media outlet ETtoday reported on the dating rumors between Park and Lauren Tsai.

According to the report, Park recently traveled to Japan with Tsai, and the two were spotted together. Additionally, evidence cited included both posting photos on social media taken at the same location and Park's close friend, Choi Woo-shik, following Tsai on social media.

In response, Park's agency, Awesome ENT, told the Hankook Ilbo, a sister publication of The Korea Times, Friday that "Park Seo-joon recently attended a brand event overseas. We understand that various artists and fashion industry figures were invited to this event," adding, "We ask for your understanding that it is difficult to confirm details regarding his personal life beyond his official schedule."

Meanwhile, Tsai, born in 1998, is active in the United States as an illustrator, actor and model. She previously appeared on the Japanese reality dating show "Terrace House: Aloha State" and is currently an influencer with over a million followers. She is 10 years younger than Park Seo-joon, who was born in 1988.
