Jung Il Woo Sparks Dating Rumors with High-Earning CEO; Post Deleted Quickly as Agency Cites ‘Private Life’

Korean actor Jung Il Woo ignited dating rumors after briefly posting and then deleting photos with a woman. Coverage focuses on suggestive photos, matching phone cases, and the amplification from the quick deletion. His agency cited ‘private life,’ a non-denial that drew attention.

The rumored partner is the CEO of a plant-based food brand Jung endorses and helps plan. Founded in 2021, it has pushed frozen K-meals into major U.S. retailers with annual revenue reported in the ₩10–20B range and high export share; some reports note an elite agri-life sciences background.

This isn’t their first connection: they joined a charity bazaar and donation last year, and Jung has been involved in product planning, suggesting a relationship growing from work to familiarity.

Media interpret the agency’s ‘private life’ stance as a de facto acknowledgment common in the industry. Public comments are largely congratulatory, with speculation of a stable relationship possibly heading toward marriage. Neither party has officially confirmed dating.

Jung Il Woo currently stars in KBS’s weekend drama *Glorious Days*; future updates depend on official statements.
