Dating rumors that linked Lee Min Ho with Taylor Swift has been rife following an earlier report that named the South Korean star as a potential boyfriend material for the pop singer. The actor's entertainment agency has recently addressed the dating speculations and described the said rumors as ridiculous.
Lee's agency, MYM Entertainment, has denied the dating rumors that paired the South Korean actor with the multi-awarded Hollywood singer. A source from MYM Entertainment told Korean publication EDaily, as cited by Soompi, that the dating speculations were untrue since the two celebrities have yet to meet.
The source commented that they "were taken aback" with the rumors and even labelled it as ridiculous. It appears that MYM Entertainment has no idea how the dating news between the two stars started.

The actor has joined the upcoming SBS drama "The Legend of the Blue Sea" where he stars alongside "My Sassy Girl" actress Jun Ji Hyun. The project will serve as the two celebrities' drama comeback in the South Korean entertainment industry.
