Park Shin Hye says her relationship with Choi Tae Joon is going strong. Instagram

Though both have not acted together as a lead pair in any dramas, they are both alumni of Chung Ang University. Initially, when reports about their alleged relationship broke in 2017, Shin Hye's agency, SALT, had denied the rumors and said that they are close friends and know each other well as both received training in the same university.

But there was too much evidence to deny the relationship. The couple was spotted vacationing overseas in April 2017.

Later they were also photographed together at a national park, with friends.

Meanwhile, Shin Hye was rumored to be dating Lee Min Ho after The Heirs was released in 2013. Then she was rumored to be dating Lee Jeong Suk after acting together in the drama Pinnochio in 2014. But both the relationships were not confirmed by the respective actors.

Shin Hye's Greatest Fear

While reflecting about herself, Shin Hye tends to see what she lacks and what makes her regretful. She said that her biggest problem is that she worries a lot about what will happen to her in the future. "What will happen to me tomorrow? Will I get caught up in something? This is my greatest fear," the actress said.

She also said that after being in the industry for so many years, she might not have always been perfect, but believes that she has moved past those fears, experiences, and progressed. She prefers to focus on today and now instead of thinking about the past or the future.
