South Korean veteran actor Gong Yoo, who went on to achieve unparalleled success in his acting career through the 2016 movie ‘Train to Busan’ and K-drama ‘Goblin,’ has relatively been private when it has come to his love life. He has been in the entertainment industry since the Hallyu outbreak and rose to fame with the 2007 rom-com ‘Coffee Prince’. While he has been linked to several of his co-stars he has worked with till now, Gong Yoo has never admitted to dating any one of them.
So even though he is considered a husband material in South Korea who made every girl swoon over him with his character in ‘Goblin,’ we don’t yet know if he has found the ‘Goblin’s Bride’ in real life too! Gong Yoo’s dating life is clean yet full of controversies, mostly with his past co-stars.
Here are all the popular personalities Gong Yoo has been rumored to be dating in real life. Take a look at them!
Yoon Eun Hye
The dating controversy between Gong Yoo and his ‘Coffee Prince’ co-star, Yoon Eun Hye, made several headlines during its time, and we can definitely say why! The chemistry they shared with one another in the show felt undeniably real, especially when Eun Hye’s character forced her way into Choi Han Geul’s apartment and kissed him passionately. Yoon Eun Hye even mentioned once that the best kiss she had in her life was with Gong Yoo. What more hints do the public need!
Another time, when asked about his “ideal type,” the 42-year-old actor replied that he would definitely consider a tomboy as his type, something that we have already seen Yoon Eun Hye play in ‘Coffee Prince’. However, both of them waved off the rumors between them with a reunion in 2020.
Kim Sun Ah
Veteran model and actress Kim Sun Ah has been a part of Gong Yoo’s career as a co-actor in the romantic comedy movie ‘S Diary’. While there had been no word on the street about the two dating each other, a statement from a talk-show interview by Kim Sun Ah sends a different signal. In August 2017, the actress played a segment on choosing her ideal type among her co-stars on MBC’s ‘Section TV’. And guess what? She gave the precious spot to Gong Yoo, calling him his ideal type, beating big names like Lee Dong Wook, Hyun Bin, and Cha Seung Won. Apart from this, there’s nothing yet released that points at Gong Yoo dating Kim Sun Ah in real life.
Ahn So Hee
Another woman Gong Yoo was linked to during the prime of his career is actress Ahn Soo Hee, who has worked with the actor in the 2016 blockbuster movie ‘Train to Busan’. It was rumored that the two had been in a romantic relationship with each other soon after the release of the movie when they were seen hanging out together on a beach one night. While none of the actors or their agencies did anything to clear the air within the protracted time, Ahn Soo Hee eventually commented on the gossip.
In one of the episodes of ‘Please Make Sure Of My Refrigerator,’ the show’s MCs asked her about the truth behind the rumor. While she accepted the fact that they were on the beach together, she immediately clarified that they were definitely not alone. So, the rumors of Gong Yoo dating Ahn So Hee might not be true at all!
Taylor Swift
You will have to admit that this is the most random Gong Yoo dating rumor you have ever heard! Recently, a piece of news took to storm on social media stating that Gong Yoo and the multi-time Grammy winner Taylor Swift had been on a lunch date with each other, and Gong Yoo was even wearing the red scarf from his 2016 K-drama, ‘Goblin’. People came up with explanations like the actor was to feature in her music video, ‘Wildest Dreams’ from her ‘1989’ album. The same person tweeted that they seemed to be cozy together.
While Gong Yoo’s agency had no idea of how the rumors began, they clarified that the two had not even met each other! In fact, he has been very busy with his schedule and has not been to New York in a long time. Moreover, Taylor Swift has been in a happy relationship with the English actor Joe Alwyn for a long time. If anything, we can expect Gong Yoo to congratulate her on their wedding in the future. Apart from that, they have no relation whatsoever.

Jung Yoo Mi
A piece of news in the K-drama industry blew up back in 2018 when a source stated that Jung Yoo Mi was in a relationship with Gong Yoo and the two would be getting married. It was said that the actor has made reservations at a renowned hot and would be tying the knots with Yoo Mi. As the news spread, while most of the people seemed to be really shocked, some of them congratulated the couple. However, their agencies, without taking any time, denied all rumors and claimed that they would take strict actions against the fake rumors and hate comments. They have co-starred in three movies, including ‘Silenced,’ ‘Train to Busan’ and ‘Kim Ji Young, Born 1982’. Gong Yoo and Yoo Mi have stated that they are colleagues and friends who can rely on each other and get comfortable. It seems like their relationship is extremely professional.
Gong Hyo Jin
The relationship between Gong Yoo and Gong Hyo Jin isn’t a secret in the entertainment industry. They have been friends for a long time, even before becoming labelmates at SOOP Management. However, on multiple occasions, their closeness has been associated with dating by the media. The two met each other through the rom-com ‘Hello My Teacher’ in 2005. However, when Hyo Jin made an appearance during one of Gong Yoo’s fan meetings, the rumors of her being Gong Yoo’s girlfriend became even more intense.
They had a close bond with each other and infrequently showed off their togetherness at times. Not to mention, the duo were nicknamed the ‘Gong-Gong Couple’ owing to them sharing their surnames. However, at the end of the scene, the two have never admitted to or denied their dating rumors before the public.
Kim Go Eun
While actress Kim Go Eun won the hearts of the masses with her eye-catching performance as Eun Tak in the series, ‘Guardian: The Lonely and Great God,’ she got herself caught into a controversy about Gong Yoo dating her. Undoubtedly, they shared an adorable on-screen relationship in the show, so much that the characters were, at one point, more famous than the actors themselves. Despite the significant age gap, their on-screen romance made everyone’s heart flutter. No wonder people began to spread rumors suggesting the co-actors were dating.
Back then, Go Eun was committed to someone older than her, and the rumors circulated shortly after their break-up following the end of the series. Moreover, Go Eun took to social media to post her wedding picture with Gong Yoo from the sets of the drama, future cementing the gossip! However, the respective agencies of both parties refuted the speculation of Eun Go Eun and Gong Yoo dating.
Im Soo Jung
It is next to impossible not to bring up Im Soo Jung’s name during a conversation about Gong Yoo’s girlfriends! Not that he had admitted to dating her ever, but she ended up getting the most attention out of the rest of his alleged love affairs. Im Soo Jung is one of the prettiest actresses in South Korea who has shared the screen with several A-list actors to date. She has worked with Gong Yoo in the 2010 K-drama, ‘Finding Mr. Destiny,’ and the sizzling chemistry between the two never fails to amaze the audience. Their presence on the screen will somehow convince you that they had come from the depth of their hearts. If not, they are simply amazing actors!
Rumors say that Gong Yoo dated and secretly got married to her, only to part ways later. However, both of them denied the allegations stating that they are nothing more than good friends. Meanwhile, Im Soo Jung has expressed that she feels lucky to have Gong Yoo, been associated with her first romantic scandal.
