Years before Jang Hyuk's marriage with professional dancer Kim Yeo Jin, there were rumors that the actors were secretly dating his then-labelmate Jun Ji Hyun.

However, in a 2013 interview, he set the record straight and revealed the real score between them.

As noted by the Officially KMusic, he appeared as a guest in MBC's Kneedrop Guru and clarified that the actress was like a little sister to him.

At the time, Jun Ji Hyun was in high school while Jang Hyuk was in college.

Interestingly, he also revealed that he had to break up with a girl he had just met on a blind date because of the actress.

"I met that girlfriend during a time when I was going around doing auditions and I really liked her," he said.

Moreover, he mentioned that he met a girl at the time when he was a rookie actor and was around doing auditions.

"I was going to the movies with her when we ran into Jun Ji Hyun. It turns out the theater was close to her high school," he said, adding, "I called Jun Ji Hyun up later, asking her not to tell the company."

Unfortunately, Jun Ji Hyun tattled on his labelmate, which ended his relationship with the girl.
