That would be Kang Ji-young, according to the members of Super Junior.

Choi Si-won and Jung Yong-hwa were seen together recently around Seoul!

The Super Junior member and CN Blue’s main vocalist were spotted together filming a episode of the variety show “Win Win“. These two were paired up, but not in “THAT” way. They are not your newest couple,but they are co-workers. Pictures have surfaced online from the filming location. The two singers were wearing signature white shirts,while they seem to be making ice cream cones.The subject of shoot has not been released,however, we can imagine (if it was a CF) what they could be promoting. Could it be ice cream,clothing or ”Super-Blue” boy-band friendships?

“Win Win” airs Tuesdays at 11:05 on KBS.
