Find out if actors and idols Lim Yoona and Lee Junho, protagonists of the k-drama ‘Sorriso Real’, have ever been in a relationship in real life
In 2023, the k-drama “Sorriso Real” premiered on Netflix, an original production by South Korean broadcaster JTBC, which presents the story of Goo Won (Lee June), a charming hotel chain heir who falls in love with Cheon Sa Rang (Lim Yoona), a charismatic employee of one of his ventures.
After its release, the series soon became a worldwide success, enchanting the public mainly thanks to the chemistry between the protagonists. For this reason, it also didn’t take long for rumors to spread across the internet, pointing to a possible relationship between Yoona and June.
Did Yoona and Junho ever date in real life?
First of all, it is necessary to remember that Yoona and June They have known each other for over 10 years, and have worked together numerous times. This is because, before becoming actors, the two are also K-pop idols, with Sa Rang’s performer being part of the girl group Girls’ Generation, while Goo Won’s performer is part of 2PM.
As both groups are part of the second generation, in the late 2000s and early 2010s, it was common to see the two formations collaborating on different programs or commercials. In 2009, for example, the artists took the stage at the Korean Music Festival together to perform a medley of love songs.
Back in 2010, Girls’ Generation and 2PM made history when they filmed a commercial side by side — something that wasn’t so common for boygroups and girlgroups to do at the time. For the promotional video, the groups recorded the song “Cabi Song”, containing references to the late 80s series “SOS Malibu”.
Since then, the members of both groups have developed a beautiful friendship. As the years passed, Yoona and June they also had different opportunities to meet again and work together before “Sorriso Real”, such as in 2021 and 2022, when they were presenters at the MBC Music Festival, and performed together performing covers of the songs “Señorita”, by Camila Cabello and Shawn Mendesand “Love Never Felt So Good” by Justin Timberlake.

In the video, the duo rehearsed for the performance of “Señorita” and reflected on their past collaborations, where June said: “Girls’ Generation and 2PM crossover. In the past, we met quite often. When we were young. This is our 10-year reunion.”
Due to this closeness, many people on social media speculated about a possible relationship between the two. With the release of “Sorriso Real”, the rumors became even stronger, especially after the Proof portal published an article stating that the stars had been dating since before the K-drama began recording.
Moments after the information was released, SM Entertainment, the company responsible for Yoonaand JYP Entertainment, an agency that takes care of Junedenied that the two were in a relationship, stating that the two are just close friends.
Since then, despite fans cheering and countless rumors resonating on the internet frequently, a possible relationship between Yoona and June was never confirmed.
