Kim Mu Jun, who is ”rapidly gaining popularity in Japan,” dominates Hot Topic with Love Affair Rumors with co-star Mei Nagano? ... ”Happening” puts an end to the rumors

Actor Kim Mu Jun, who has been in the spotlight while traveling back and forth between Japan and Korea, has become famous for an untimely relationship with top Japanese actor Mei Nagano. The rumor of the two was confirmed to be untrue and ended in a happening, but it has been a hot topic in both Korea and Japan.

　On April 23rd, Kim Mu Jun's agency Nine Ato Entertainment told Edaily that he and Mei Nagano are “close colleagues." This position was also reported in Japan. It was also linked to the number one most accessed news item on a local portal site.

　Earlier, the Japanese weekly Shukan Bunshun reported that Mei Nagano and Kei Tanaka were having an affair, but also alleged that Mei Nagano had recently invited a Korean actor, with whom she is co-starring in a drama series, to her house several times, raising suspicions of 'two-timing'. It was later speculated that the actor was Kim Mu Jun.

　Kim Mun Jun's agency distanced themselves from the allegations, saying that they were colleagues, not lovers.

　The two actors are co-starring in the TBS drama Caster, which premiered on March 13th. 'Caster' is a social entertainment drama set in a broadcasting station's news program that pursues the truth buried in the darkness and judges evil. Kim Mu Jun plays the role of Choi Jae-sung, who was born in Korea, studied in Japan, and is engaged as an AD at a news station.

　Kim Mu Jun, born in 1999, became famous through 'I Know' and 'Love at 493 Kilometers Per Hour', and gained attention for his role as Seo Hyun-seo in MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Lover'. For this performance, he won the Rookie of the Year Award at the MBC Acting Awards.

　Kim Mu Jun, who has established himself in Korea with his solid acting and excellent looks, began his acting career in Japan last year when he appeared in 'Black Pean Season 2' and was cast in 'Caster' and has continued his activities. Kim Mu Jun, who has been expanding his status in Japan through a series of productions, is showing a surge in popularity there as well.

　In Korea, he has been confirmed to appear in the new SBS drama 'Kiss in Vain!' which is scheduled to premiere in September, and is actively pursuing his activities in and out of Korea.
