In the midst of a scandal involving Japanese actress Mei Nagano (25) and married actor Kei Tanaka (40), Korean actor Kim Mu Jun has been implicated, leading to a quick denial from his agency.

Speculation arose from Japanese media suggesting a romantic involvement between Mei Nagano and Kim Mu Jun, who is currently working in Japan. Kim Mu Jun’s agency, Nine Ato Entertainment, refuted these claims on April 23, stating that Kim Mu Jun and Mei Nagano are merely close colleagues and nothing more.

The controversy began when a Japanese magazine published photos allegedly depicting Mei Nagano and Kei Tanaka in a romantic affair, despite Tanaka being married since 2011 with two daughters. This revelation has caused significant backlash in Japan against Kei Tanaka.

Further adding to the scandal, the magazine also reported that a Korean actor, co-starring with Nagano in the TBS Sunday drama 'Castor,' had been spotted visiting her residence. Speculation has emerged in South Korea and Japan that Kim Mu Jun, who appears in the same drama, may be the alleged boyfriend.

Mei Nagano is a well-respected Japanese actress, known for her talent and beauty, with a career starting in 2009. On the other hand, Kei Tanaka gained popularity in Japan through his role in the BL drama series 'Ossan's Love.'

As rumors continue to circulate, Kim Mu Jun's agency is standing firm to defend his reputation, underlining his professional relationship with Nagano.
