On May 16th, a representative of Chae Rina‘s confirmed that the singer and baseball player Park Yong Geun are dating. The representative said, “After confirming with Chae Rina, it is true that she is dating baseball player Park Yong Geun. It hasn’t been seven months like some news articles suggest. They have been seeing each other since the beginning of this year after that horrible accident.”
Park Yong Geun, who plays for LG Twins, was stabbed while drinking last October 2012, and had to remove 40% of his liver because of the severity of his injury from stabbing. The same incident goes to the ex-wife of Cool‘s Kim Sung Soo who was stabbed to death. Chae Rina was also at the scene but didn’t receive any physical injuries; however, she suffered emotional and mental distress after witnessing such horrid crime.
“Both Park Yong Geun and Chae Rina struggled emotionally and mentally after the incident. Chae Rina visited Park Yong Geun at the hospital with other friends shortly after he was hospitalized, and they started developing feelings as they shared their distress and emotions as well as comforted each other. This also helped Park Yong Geun’s recovery,” explained Chae Rina’s representative.
Chae Rina is 6 years older than Park Yong Geun, so the emotional support they had one another helped them overcome their age gap.
Park Yong Geun has now returned to the team and has been playing in the recovery division, according to an official at LG Twins. Chae Rina is preparing for the upcoming joint concert “Youth Night Season 2” in July.
