Former WINNER member Nam Tae Hyun has been through a lot in the past couple of weeks, starting with his exit from YG Entertainment boy group to starting a band of his own. More recently, the singer and DJ got caught up in a dating rumor with actress Jung Ryeo Won.

A netizen posted a photo that claimed to show Nam and Jung wearing the same rings. The photo, which was posted by the former, has since been deleted on his Instagram page, Allkpop reported.

This is not the first time Nam and Jung sparked dating rumors. According to the same publication, a local news outlet Xports News claimed that Nam and Jung are in a romantic relationship. It was said that they met through a common friend and quickly became close because they share the same interest. Moreover, the report claimed that the rumored couple has been dating for a year.

Even after Nam announced his departure from YG Entertainment and WINNER, he continued going on dates with Jung. A source claimed that the pair was spotted hanging out in a café in Gangnam.

The 13-year-age gap between Nam and Jung made the rumors even more shocking. At the time, the actress' agency denied the dating rumors and explained that the two are just close friends.

Meanwhile, Nam is calling for applicants for his new band. He posted the application details on his personal Tumblr account. The ex-WINNER member said that he is looking for male instrumentalists that can play guitar, drum, bass or piano. It is, however, unclear what type of music Nam and his band are going to record.

Nam was announced to have terminated his contract with YG Entertainment in November 2016. It was initially reported that the singer would only halt his activities with WINNER as he continues to seek treatment for his mental health issues; however, it was later announced that Nam has permanently left the agency and the group.
