Former relationships and girlfriend

Jae-min hasn’t talked about any girls he might have dated, which is to be expected as SM Entertainment doesn’t allow its rookie artists to be dating, as in the past this has proven to have a negative effect on groups’ reputation. The boys from NCT also aren’t allowed to drink, smoke cigarettes nor undergo plastic surgery. However, there are rumors circulating the internet that Jae-min might be romantically linked to actress Kim Ji-In, alongside whom he has appeared in the series “Method to Hate You” – the two appeared to be too close to one another in the series which is what started the rumors. Neither Jae-min nor Kim have commented on this.
