They have been subtly showering love and showing affection for each other on social media posts, be it posting each other’s pictures, or liking the other’s posts on Instagram. Interestingly, the actress had also previously shared a video of herself taken at her beau’s studio in July of last year.

Jung Eun-chae debuted in the industry through the film ‘Haunters’ in 2010. Since then, she has gone on to showcase her versatility in various films and K-Dramas. Some of her notable works include ‘The King,’ ‘Dr. Frost,’ ‘Legal High,’ and ‘The King: Eternal Monarch.’ She has received widespread acclaim for her performances in ‘Pachinko’ and ‘Anna.’ The actress will next be seen in the television series ‘Jeong Nyeon,’ which is set to premiere sometime this year.
