Model-turned-actor Julien Kang has denied that he is in a relationship with model Jang Sung Hui and says that they are not making wedding plans. His agency released a statement denying the relationship after dating rumors surfaced in various Korean media outlets.

Media outlets such as Hankyung quoted an anonymous acquaintance of Kang's on the relationship.

The rumors said that the couple was seriously dating and that they already met each other's parents. But, said the anonymous source, the couple were dating in secret because they worried about the effect that such a relationship might have on their careers.

Kang's agency, Show Brothers Entertainment, released a statement in which the actor denied the relationship with Jang Sung Hui.

"The dating rumors are not true," said the agency. "He was very shocked to hear about them."

Kang, 33, said that he was close to Jang, 30, but that he was not seeing her romantically.

"It's true that he and Jang Sung Hee are close, due to their background in modeling. They have meals together comfortably and meet up as friends."

According to the agency they are not planning to marry.

"It's also definitely not true that they have met each other's parents and are thinking of marriage. Julien Kang told us he has no thoughts of getting married any time soon."

In 2014, the actor was previously rumored to be having a relationship with a non-celebrity. He traveled to Hong Kong with the unidentified women and was seen kissing her at the airport. But Kang said that the woman was just a model who was working with him as part of a scheduled event in Hong Kong. He denied that he was in a relationship with her. Was the mystery woman also Jang Sung Hui?

Kang is a French-Korean actor, born in a French territory off the coast of Canada to a Korean father and a French mother. Kang has appeared in a dozen k-dramas, most recently 'To The Beautiful You," Potato Star 2013QR3," Golden Cross" and "Marriage Not Dating." He has also taken part in a few variety shows, including a 2012 run of "We Got Married." On that reality show, he was paired with actess Yoon Se Ah. The virtual couple was dubbed KangYoon couple and Juliah couple.
