Director Jo Nam-hyung of "The Legend of the Cooking Squad" directly addressed baseless romance rumors.

Jo Nam-hyung, who directed the recently concluded tvN drama "The Legend of the Cooking Squad," posted on his SNS on the 18th: "Do not fabricate. I have never sent a DM (direct message)."

This appears to be a direct clarification regarding fake DMs that recently spread online.

The DM contained content fabricated to look like a conversation with Director Jo Nam-hyung, along with absurd romance rumors involving actors Park Ji-hoon, Jeon So-young, Lee Ui, and Han Dong-hee from "The Legend of the Cooking Squad."

The writer asked, "There are rumors that actors Park Ji-hoon and Jeon So-young, as well as actors Lee Ui and Han Dong-hee, are dating. Are you aware?" The person in the DM replied, "It's difficult for me to say specifically, but such pairings were not just made up, right?"

However, through Director Jo Nam-hyung's direct clarification, it was revealed that the conversation was fabricated, and the incident was concluded as a mere happening.

Meanwhile, "The Legend of the Cooking Squad" is a military cook fantasy drama depicting the journey of private Kang Sung-jae (played by Park Ji-hoon), who transforms into the "legendary cooking squad" member, replacing guns with kitchen knives and ammunition belts with aprons. It was Park Ji-hoon's next project after becoming a ten-million-viewer actor with the film "A Man Who Lives Alone," attracting significant attention even before its release.

It concluded on the 16th with a viewership rating of 7.6% (based on Nielsen Korea paid households).
