The news of Jung Eun Chae dating product designer Kim Chung Jae has brought her past relationship rumors back into the spotlight.
A major scandal rocked the actress in 2020. Rumors of her dating married singer Jung Joon Il went viral after a post written by his spouse hit the internet and was picked up by a news report. Jung Eun Chae’s representatives claimed that it was a “private matter from over 10 years ago,” insisting the meeting was innocent and that she wasn’t aware of his marital status. However, Jung Joon Il’s side contested this, stating she knew of his marital status.
In 2013, Jung Eun Chae was also accused of meeting married Japanese actor Ryô Kase, with whom she co-starred in the film Hill of Freedom. At the time, Ryô Kase was known to be living with his partner outside of marriage for over 5 years, which sparked further controversy. However, her agency denied the allegations, stating that “she was not involved in any romantic relationship with him.” Her side also insisted that she had simply traveled to Japan for vacation, and he helped as her guide during her trip.
Back to the present, the specifics of Jung Eun Chae and Kim Chung Jae’s relationship remain under wraps, although a video taken at his studio appeared on her Instagram last July.
Interestingly, both Jung Eun Chae and Kim Chung Jae were born in 1986 and share a passion for art. While Jung Eun Chae dropped out of Central Saint Martins College in London after studying textile design, Kim Chung Jae holds a degree in Western Painting from Chugye University of the Arts and a master’s from Hongik University’s International Design Graduate School.
