"The two met at a meeting of (their) acquaintances late last year, and are now getting to know with each other with good feelings," SM Entertainment said, in response to a local weekly's report earlier in the day that they have been dating since November last year, often accompanied by acquaintances.
Oh is currently a closing pitcher for the Hanshin Tigers in Japan’s Nippon Professional Baseball league.
The report also said the singer stayed in Osaka, Japan, in March probably to cheer him up.
It is an "open secret" among players in the Korea Baseball Organization (KBO) league that Yuri and Oh have been in a romantic relationship, it said.
