June 2024 rumours have it that Park Seo-joon is in a relationship with American actress Lauren Tsai. Fans and media have started speculations about their affair after the duo were reportedly spotted together in Japan and later shared individual pictures on Instagram, taken at the same location.
While the rumoured couple received support from Park’s fans, international fans of Tsai shared their disappointment, saying that she is too good for the Korean actor. This is because of Park’s past comments about his ideal family life in an interview.
“I find women who bring about my protective instinct attractive. I feel like if they are tall, they are going to be fine living alone. I like women who keep me worried. And skinny women tend to be like that,” he had shared.
While Tsai’s fans deemed Park’s views on gender roles misogynistic, native Korean fans commented that Park was young during that interview and with time his thoughts must have definitely evolved for the better.
Following the reports and criticisms, Park’s agency Awesome ENT officially denied the rumours of him dating Tsai and shared, “Park Seo Joon was carrying out overseas activities for attendance at a brand event recently, and artists and related individuals of diverse fields were invited to this event. We ask for your understanding in not being able to provide confirmation on any aspects of his personal life beyond information about his official activities.”

On 20 June 2023, multiple Korean media outlets reported that Park is in a relationship with singer and YouTuber Xooos (Kim Soo-yeon). The reports further claimed that according to industry insiders, the two often go on dates and have even introduced each other to their close friends.
In response to the report, Park Seo-joon’s label stated, “It is difficult to confirm facts about our artist’s personal life. We’re sorry. Please kindly understand.”
Additionally, xooos’s agency WAVY commented, “It is difficult to confirm.”
Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young
Any OG fan would confirm that Park Seo-joon and Park Min-young’s iconic rom-com What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim changed the trajectory of intimacy and romance in K-dramas. The success of the show, unsurprisingly, led to the couple’s dating rumours.
However, when Park Seo-joon sat for an interview with K-media Hankook Ilbo in 2018, he put an end to the rumour by saying that the speculations about their relationship were not true.
Meanwhile, talking about owning the same fashion items as Park Min-young in the interview, Park Seo-joon said, “if having the same items means that two people dated each other, I guess that means I could be dating Justin Bieber too.”
Park Seo-joon and Kim Ji-won
While Queen of Tears’ much-loved businesswoman Kim Ji-won is known for her glorious professional career, she is also widely popular as one of the most famous Park Seo-joon ex-girlfriends.
Park Seo-joon and Kim Ji-won were rumoured to be dating, following their 2017 K-drama Fight for My Way.
Addressing his rumoured relationships with his co-stars during an interview the same year, Park commented that he believes most of the rumours arise from the notes he exchanges with his co-stars after finishing a project.
“Whenever I finish a project, I always exchange notes with my partner,” he said, hinting that the same happened in Kim Ji-won’s case. Once the shooting for Fight for My Way ended, Park and Kim wrote “Dong Man, I love you” and “Ae Ra, I love you” on each other’s scripts, eventually leading to the fans speculating about their relationship status. Regarding his dating rumours with Kim, the actor smiled and said, “We are not dating. It’s not like that.”
