B1A4's Baro addressed dating rumors involving his "Angry Mom" co-star, Kim Yoo Jung, during a May 10 segment of "Section TV." "Section TV" attended the wrap party for "Angry Mom," which concluded its successful run on May 7.

The "Section TV" reporter prompted Baro to discuss his recent dating rumors. "We'll give you an opportunity to get this off your chest and explain," said the reporter.

Baro delivered a poised response, which examined the double-edged nature of the question. "To call it an explanation, makes it weird," he said. "Kim Yoo Jung is a dongsaeng I care for. We've become close."

His statement provided further clarification that Baro and Kim maintain a senior-junior professional relationship.

Dating rumors involving the co-stars began on May 1, when they were spotted together during an international youth soccer game.

Kim and Baro were paired together as a reluctant couple in "Angry Mom." The vast differences between their personalities provided lighthearted scenes which juxtaposed against the harsh subject matter of bullying, extortion and murder which permeated throughout the series.

Most netizens easily dismissed the rumor, due to the age difference between Baro and Kim. Baro maintains a teenaged appearance, which enabled the K-pop idol to portray Hong Sang Tae in "Angry Mom." However, he is 22-years-old. Kim Yoo Jung is a 15-year-old child star whose impressive resume has included roles in "The Moon Embracing the Sun" and "May Queen."

On May 1, Kim's representatives issued a statement to address the rumors. According to a report published by allkpop, Kim attended the soccer match with Seo Shin Ae. "Yoo Jung and Seo Shin Ae were invited to the game, but Baro also happened to have been invited so he joined. Seo Shin Ae briefly left her seat to greet the person who invited her, and that's when the two were photographed."
