Former I.O.I member and actress Kim Se Jeong just left fans stunned with sweet photos of actor Kang Tae Oh — only to delete the post shortly after.
As reported by Allkpop, on October 28 KST, Kim posted a batch of photos on her social networking page without a caption. The pictures drew quick attention for being super close and friendly poses, with everyone curious about their relationship off-screen.
Before she removed the post, fans could see the couple exchanging cozy and playful moments. In one photo, Kim and Kang are looking into each other's eyes; in another, he is hugging her from behind as they smile for the camera. There are also selfies of Kim resting on his shoulder, demonstrating a great sense of familiarity between the two.

According to the source, the pictures were said to have been captured during the filming of MBC's new drama "The Moon Flows Over the River of Lee Kang." Kang Tae Oh stars as Crown Prince Lee Kang in the series, while Kim Se Jeong acts as Park Dal, a lively peddler.

The chemistry in the photos and the teaser materials has been highly complimented by fans eager for the drama's release.
Kang Tae Oh also shared some behind-the-scenes photos on the same day, one of which is him embracing Kim Se Jeong from the back — the same photo that she posted. He also shared a selfie of Kim alone, which prompted a cheeky reply from her.
While deleting her post, Kim wrote, "Did you post the last photo (my selfie) because your soul was inside me in that moment, oppa (Kang Tae Oh)?"
The loving tone of the comment kindled innocuous gossip among fans regarding their relationship, but both actors have kept mum. Following the unexpected deletion of the post, netizens remarked that the two probably meant the upload as amiability endorsement for their new drama instead of romantic suggestion.
With "The Moon Flows Over the River of Lee Kang" premiering later this year, excitement is heightened for the screen reunion of Kim Se Jeong and Kang Tae Oh, whose on-screen chemistry has already captured hearts in the online world.
