Kim Moo-jun denies dating Mei Nagano

25 Apr – Korean actor Kim Moo-jun has denied rumours that he is dating Japanese actress Mei Nagano, who is embroiled in an affair rumour with 41-year-old actor Kei Tanaka.

On 23 April, an expose by Shukan Bunshun claimed that the actress was having an affair with the married actor, but then turned her attention towards Kim, who stars with her in her current drama, “Caster”.

It was also alleged that Mei has also invited Kim to her place several times.

However, on the same day, Kim’s agency 9ato Entertainment denied the rumour, saying, “Kim Moo-jun and Mei Nagano are just close colleagues.”

Mingpao also reported that Kim has made a statement saying that he has visited the actress’ home before but that Mei’s mother was there at the time and was very kind to him.

“Mei Nagano is an actress I respect very much and we are not dating,” he said.
