Kim Hyun Joong recently spoke up about the rumors that he and the After School singer and actress Uee were dating. The rumors have existed since the two appeared on "Barefooted Friends" together and fans commented on their behavior.

Fans noticed that they mostly sat or stood next to each other and seemed very friendly. Rumors quickly spread that the singer and "Inspiring Generation" star had introduced Uee to his friends as his girlfriend.

Fans also commented that when Uee's mom was on the show and had to choose the ideal guy for her daughter, the only candidate that seemed totally relaxed was Kim Hyun joong. It was almost as if he knew he would be chosen, they said.

The couple first met in 2009 when they filmed a commercial together so they were already friends when the "Barefoot Friends" episodes began filming.

But dating? He says they are not dating. And he says, the fact that people think they are dating makes him think less of rumors in general.

"I always assumed that there must be some truth to rumors," he said in an interview with Star Today. "But now that I am the subject of rumors, I realize that they are not at all believable."

Both Uee, who recently finished starring with Jung Il Woo in "Golden Rainbow," and Kim Hyun Joong laughed about the rumors.

"We laughed together when we saw it," he recently said. "Afterward the staff kept teasing us, so I jokingly said that she was my girlfriend and that fueled another round of rumors. It's a scary world."

The rumors calmed down after the show ended but they never completely died down, he said. And occasionally he still has to deny them.

"It's not true at all," he said. "We were close during the filming, but I am not dating Uee like the rumors suggest."

Kim Hyun Joong has managed to keep his dating life private. He did say a few years ago that he dated one girl for three years but they broke up.

Uee was rumored to be dating her "Ojakgyo Brothers" co-star Joo Won. He confessed that he had feelings for her during the filming but that it never developed into a relationship.

She has confessed to dating in the past but nothing is known about whom she dated. She once said that true love had not found her yet. But when it did, she was not sure she would go public with her relationship.
