While Jo Kyu-seong, who drew attention for his warm appearance on the Korean national soccer team for the 2022 Qatar World Cup, was caught up in dating rumors with model Ji-min-ju, Ji-min's agency made an official statement.
Ji Min-joo's agency, Elsac, said through a sports media today (the 1st) that it is "a situation that we do not know in detail."
The agency is aware of the dating rumors that became a hot topic earlier, and responded to the situation in which the two followed each other on social media, saying, "It's a private matter, so I can't answer separately."
Cho Kyu-sung, who played as a substitute in the match against Uruguay on the 24th of last month, drew attention from soccer fans at home and abroad for his handsome appearance.
In the following match against Ghana, he became the first Korean player to score multiple goals in the World Cup.
In addition to his soccer skills, Cho Kyu-seong, who received attention for his striking appearance, has increased his SNS followers from 20,000 before the World Cup to 1.6 million now, and fans are wondering whether he is dating.

Recently, on SNS and online communities, articles claiming that the two are in a relationship have been posted on the basis that Kyu-sung Cho followed each other on social media, and that Min-joo Ji posted a photo wearing a uniform with Kyu-sung Cho's uniform number written on it in the past.
Netizens who came across the dating rumors of the two posted on Ji-min's SNS, "I really fell in love with Kyu-sung Cho. He's so pretty", "Is it true that he is dating Jo Kyu-sung?" I also left comments such as "what to do".
Born in 2003 and 20 years old this year, Ji-min has been actively working as a model while digesting photo shoots until recently.
