SM Entertainment has shut down rumors saying Girls' Generation's YoonA and Chinese actor and singer Li Yifeng are dating.

The label simply stated, "It's false," in response to rumors that were reported by Chinese media. On July 5, overseas media outlets reported YoonA and Li Yifeng were more than just friends.

It turns out the dating rumors arose after a popular Chinese blogger wrote an article questioning whether YoonA and Li Yifeng were in a relationship. According to Chinese media outlets, the two stars were in the same city in China at the same time, and Li Yifeng had secretly visited South Korea to see the Girls' Generation member. Despite the reports, it seems there's no truth to the rumors.

YoonA previously starred in Li Yifeng's music video for his song "Please Contact Me", and he also filmed a special congratulatory video for her recent fan meeting tour.
