Han Hyo Joo & Gong Myung Dating Rumors Sparked at Baseball Game

Photos of actors Han Hyo-joo and Gong Myung together at a baseball game sparked dating rumors, but it was revealed that this was preliminary research for the filming of MBC's new drama 'Your Ground.'

On the 11th, Han Hyo-joo and Gong Myung were spotted in the table seats watching the '2026 Shinhan SOL Bank KBO League' game between the LG Twins and SSG Landers at Jamsil Baseball Stadium in Seoul. Gong Myung was wearing an LG Twins uniform and cap, while Han Hyo-joo wore sunglasses and appeared focused on the game. The two actively cheered for the game, clapping and holding their heads in excitement.

Gong Myung has publicly stated multiple times that he is a fan of the LG Twins and has even thrown the ceremonial first pitch, showing his deep affection for the team. The game that day drew particular attention as 'Ai-nyang,' a character who collaborated with the LG Twins, threw the first pitch. Their joint attendance at the baseball game became a catalyst for some netizens to raise dating rumors, but the misunderstanding was quickly resolved when it became known that the two would be co-starring in the upcoming drama 'Your Ground.'

The drama 'Your Ground' is a youth romance drama about baseball player Kang Hae-hwan (played by Gong Myung) meeting lawyer-turned-agent Seo Hee-seung (played by Han Hyo-joo) and embarking on a journey to return to the field. As it is a drama with baseball as its theme, it appears to have been a move to familiarize themselves with the on-site atmosphere and immerse themselves in their characters by watching an actual baseball game before filming.

Upon hearing this news, netizens showed positive reactions such as "The visual chemistry between the two is great," "I was confused whether it was real or drama filming," and "I'm looking forward to the baseball drama," expressing their anticipation for the drama.
