Jin Akanishi of KAT-TUN and Maki Nishiyama 
They actually did dated. I heard that he was forced to break up with her though because of Johnny ....
Ninomiya of Arashi and Nagasawa Masami 
According to Nikkan Sports, Arashi member Kazunari Ninomiya and actress Masami Nagasawa have been dating for about two years. Their relationship developed after they appeared together in Fuji TV's 2005 drama series "Yasashii Jikan." It appears to have started out as a sibling-like connection, but it blossomed into romance.
According to the current issue of Japanese magazine 'Shukan Josei', at a recent gathering with friends from the entertainment circle, Nino was asked whether he was dating Masami. At first he avoided the question, but later openly admitted to the relationship, saying it was 'stable'. His upfront answer left everyone quite surprised.
According to the reports, he is very careful about protecting his private life. In order to avoid the paparazzi, he and Masami usually meet at home. Although they were rumoured to have broken up, they've actually been seeing each other for the past four years. They seem very committed to the relationship.
Kim So Eun first kiss cause a disappointment to souelmates and they seem to question why such kiss never happens in BOF? I myself asked why it didnt take place anyway? Or probably this onscreen kiss is just a part of Kim So EUn accepting mature roles or their agency just want to avoid more rumors about them?
Actress Kim So Eun, in front of audience, has changed from the naive girl into a mature woman inside KBS's hottest drama of the month "Man Who Can't Get Married" after competing the last part in the ceremony of becoming an adult.
Inside this drama, So Eun broke out of her already formed student image, and using her acting skills have established a woman of the 20th generation, a 26 year old company employee in training who is both bold and vigorous about life.
The characteristics of Ga Eul from inside "Boys Over Flower" and the Princess inside "Empress Chun Chu" are both gone, instead here you will see a energetic Yoojin from the 20th generation.
How have you recently been?
Life has been busy. Have been living at home, after waking up will go to filming, and when time to sleep will go home. Haven't been able to spend time with family, there is also no time to make phone calls either, [my] parents will write notes to express their support to me.
Inside "Man Who Can't Get Married," Kim So Eun having just started filming, what do you find is the rather special type of challenge are you faced with?
More have a deeper impression of me from inside "Boys Over Flower" as Ga Eul, still when people see me nowadays, they would call me "Ga Eul," because of this [I] plan to put more efforts into to put away all the old traits, the truth is that in comparison to Ga Eul, this Yoo Jin character is more like my real personality, so therefore, when acting, it is more relaxing.
As a first major role, how is it?
It is very good, this role and the real me is very similar, people around also say that I am very alike.
Sharing a kiss with Yoo Ah In, in real life, it can't be your first kiss right?
Yes, it is like that, had been both anxious [I think it actually read: Look forward to. "] and worried over having the first kiss scene done right, the night 2 days before filming, seemed to have finished filming it in a dream, the truth is that after it's been done, seems it's not a big deal really, Yoo oppa had kindly guided me along. (laughs)
Have heard that (you) have done alot of character analysis prior to having this Yoo Jin to go on stage?
Have decided to put efforts in acting natural, efforts in making myself look 5 years more mature then my actual age, not to look too young, because of this, from head to toe have tried many changes, the Yoo Jin look in the drama requires 1 hour of preparation.
Yoo Jin seems to represent a person of the 20th generation?
Facing employment she is not successful, being and only a employee in training. Isn't the younger generation's unemployment an issue? So portraying one that who has a compassionate towards life will allow everyone to have similar feelings.
When filming, what can you not stand?
During the first half of the 4th episode, because of wanting to hold onto the ex boyfriend, there was a scene with lots of running. Since I wanted to act it out to look realistic, (I) was working hard to make my hand and foot movements look like an athlete, the scene, have heard that even car had moved, because I was prepared, after hearing, had quite a scare. (Laughs)
After "Boys Over Flower" working together with Ji Jin Hee, how was it?
Working with Ji Jin Hee Oppa seems more relaxing. Apart from "Boys Over Flower," in other works I am always the youngest, and because of that, I've received alot of love and care from everyone. Inside "Boys Over Flower," almost everyone are friends in the same age group.
How is the relationship with the rest of the cast in the new drama?
Ah In oppa says I am youngest here, and so have robbed him of everyone's love. Uhm Jung-hwa unnie and Ji Jin Hee Oppa, working with them is very relaxing and happy, and please to prepare alot of care and love.
Where is the charm of this drama?
This is a drama that allows a family/household to come to an understanding after watching it. It's a very relaxing type of drama. If after watching (me) gives the viewers such a feel as "within my friends, there's one who is like that" would be good.
Kim So Eun's so called "Man Who Can't Get Married"
It allows me to be a more mature character, it's a type of challenge to me.
Have been in the industry for 5 years, is it exhausting?
As a person still learning, it's not too exhausting, it's just that every birthday is spent on the set, it is very unfortunate.

Both Kim Bum and Kim SO Eun are highly popular and is worthy of the name the new generation stars and they are considered as the blue chip of the advertising industry. However both of them prefers to be a great actor/actress rather than a become a popular star. Kim bum has worries and has a star qualities. He has this aura of becoming big in the industry.
Kim So Eun is not only a clever actress with beautiful eyes but she is also great in acting. She has depth and she can carry any characters and partner at the same time.
These two people have fresh and sunny temperament and today, they meet at
Q:What are you doing after ‘Boys Over flowers’?
Kim Bum: I am busy at filming the CFs, my next project is ‘Bi Sang’. I am working on role analysis and preparation at the moment.
Kim So Eun: I also decided my next project which is a mini drama, will start to film recently. At the same time, I am filming a movie as well; don't have time to have a rest.
Q:How has your lives changed after becoming so popular?
Kim Bum: I personally feel that in ‘Boys over flowers’, we were not actually acting, it was still just a ‘vase’ (for you non-Asian, it means people who are only good looking but no acting skills) However, I like So Yi Jung which has given me so much popularity, but I am also afraid of whether I can bear the bad comments or not. I am worried if I am acting as another role, people still have the illusion that I am So Yi Jung. So I am particularly concerned about my next project. ( Kathy: hey man! Thats what I want to say, I always thought you were Yijung, oh gosh, Hav you guys seen the new pics of Kim Bum in dream??!!the hair style....................)
Kim So Eun: First of all, I would like to thank you for supporting me. Because my supporters suddenly become so many, I know I need to work harder. Therefore, I will try my best to show the best side of me!
Q:What is the most interesting thing during working?
Kim Bum: When people are happy and touching through my acting, I will feel satisfied. Then I realised that I can give people hope and happiness through my acting, this is the most meaningful thing. (Kathy: what??? I think they were asking the most interesting thing, why did you answer the most meaningful thing??? Do they have the same meaning in Korean? Well, I don't know, you guys find out yourselves. Lol…)
Kim So Eun: I found the most interesting thing was a lot of people looking at us on the set. I felt very stressful in the full view of people, but also, I am very happy. As an actress, if we can enjoy this kind of attention, I think that is a good thing.
Q:How do you get into a new role?
Kim Bum: I will work hard to get into a role, thinking of the environment about the role, try to make an assumption, such as” try to become that person.”
Kim So Eun: I will analysis the script many times. I am the kind of person who is based on the script and try to get closer to the role. I will also do some research and think about the role’s behaviour.
Q:In that case, choose a role which is difficult to play but meaningful.
Kim Bum: Young Dong Chul in ‘east of Eden’. The historical background is in 1960s, Tan Goang village. It is a very sad role, he saw his father’s death which I haven’t got experience in this generation. It is very difficult to play such a role, I felt very stressful but at the same time, it is a very great drama. People all have good comments about the role. As an actor, it is very cheerful.
Kim So Eun: ‘Empress Chun Chu’ is very special to me. I stopped performing when I was in senior2. I had a big break to work on my study in Senior3 in order to get into university. During that break, I was studying, but I wanted to perform. After that, I know I have the passion to be an actress. Therefore, when I got into university, I had the chance to play young Huang Bo Soo in ‘Empress Chun Chu’. I think I learn how to act from the drama and enrich my acting skills.
Q:As a famous new star, it seems you are still afraid of something?
Kim Bum: Actors often change their roles. I am afraid that people cannot accept my new roles. I think that is the difference between what people like the style of a project.
Kim So Eun: I feel that happiness seems more than tiredness. No matter who, if you are doing something you like, you definitely have to pay for it. I am not afraid of being tired. I have strong desire to do things that I want.(Kathy: ummm.. I suppose she means she is eager to do her favourite things?) Everyone want to have their ideal lives which wont happen the same as your wishes, but you still have to live. And now I can do what I want, I feel happy and I am really a lucky girl.
Q:Is there any role you want to challege or any actor you admired?
Kim Bum:I like Al Pasino,he seems have the ability to express the feelings of human beings perfectly. As a role who is the belial contacted with an capable lawer in the movie Devil Advocate, I am impressed by how he expressed the dual personality. I personally like villain very much, so i am thinking maybe I can play a role who has dual personality.
Kim So Eun: Ha Ji Won is my example, not only because she is good looking, but also she is comfirmed by public with her great acting. I'm eager to be an actress who has the ability to play a diversificate role. My goal is to become an established actress like Naomi Watts in 'The Painted Veil ', that role requests both good acting and the accumulation of life experience.
Q:Do u have any other hobbies apart from acting?
Kim Bum: I like sports, I was a member of a football team at school, and I learned kendo. (Kathy: I remember that Soeun learned Kendo as well when she was filming Empress Chun Chu. lol...What can I say then??lol....)And I like reading very much, also I enjoy playing games and watching movies.
Kim So Eun:I like reading as well. I think i am those persons who are reading regulary and I like writing diaries.
Dramas limit my imagination, books can help me extend my thought, so i like it very much. Also I like running(llol), horse riding, skating and any other exciting sports. Moreover, I like taking photos, i want to have an office with cafe if i have chance. I hope that if i reach my goal, i will start to learn design which i am interested since I was young.
Q: You two are attending Joongang University in the same Theater and Movie major, and had a lot of interactions in dramas and CFs. What do you think of one another?
Kim Bum: I've known Soeun for about a year, and whenever I see her at school or on the set, she is always bright, greeting others with a smile, which can give other people energy. Because of this, she was able to portray her charisma in her roles.
Kim So Eun: He is a really hard working friend. I am also the type who hates losing, and Bummie is very strict on himself and seems to tries his best and not rest. This is an image of a very fine actor. (Kathy: I think Soeun said beautiful actor?? But well, I agree with Heroine.Mei, I suppose she means great actor. This question belongs to Heroine.Mei, I wont be bothered to translate again.)
Q:As an actor/actress, what is your future plan?
Kim Bum: As the acting way is very long, I think it is just a start now. Like marathon, it has total length of 42.194km.I have run less than five kilometers. You can hear the cheering in many places, but you have to continue to run on your own. To use some power to adapt other competitors or supporters, and finally the most important thing is I myself never shake my will. Therefore, I don’t think I will be super happy because of the popularity. I think it is just a start and I have many roles which I haven’t played before. All the things should be the same as I first did it!
Kim So Eun: No matter actor/actress or stars are all good, I can say that I would like to have the way which is known as an actress. If I can be called as an actress, the popularity may not last very long, but that doesnt matter. However, be famous of my acting, I prefer the added value which is accompanied by acting. I think I will use my original passion and feelings to perform and do my best.

I am pretty much sure that this is another eye candy for soeulmates. I have seen some Behind the scene magazine scan from Kim So Eun fan site and it looks like a behind footage of Bonjuk advertisement of the known soeul couple .
It looks like that the theme of this Bonjuk ad is the start of the love story of Kim Bum and Kim So Eun
Kim So Eun seems writing a love letter for Kim Bum since in the envelope it is written that from Soeun to Kim Bum if you look at it closely.
It also shows that Kim So Eun seems sad here maybe because she misses Kim Bum so in order for them to communicate is to write letters.. Very primitive but its something unique.
Kim So Eun and Kim Bum is reading their love letters for each other and they seems happy now knowing that the attraction between them is also the same??
In the old days, if a man loved a woman he could come to her balcony and make music with his guitar or tamborine. Is there a modern equivalent using electronic musical devices? . It seems like Kim Bum is showing off her talents to So Eun here, and it looks like his serenading a girl he likes so probably his starting to court her in this ads...
Kim Bum and Kim So Eun seems so close here... I mean you can see that they are really happy...I smell something fishy with this two
I can see here that Kim Bum and Kim So Eun exchanging letters if not mistaken it is love letter because it past bonjuk photos you can see that Kim So Eun is sending letters to Kim Bum 
Some more behind the scene photos of Kim Bum and Kim So Eun in Bonjuk ads 
It seems like they are comfortable with each other. And they do eye contact often, I have read some articles about eye contact before and it says "Why do people experience love at first sight? It is probably largely because they see into the eyes of the other persons and subconsciously recognise qualities in them that are transmitted by the eye alone, or in connection with slight facial gestures and 'postures'". 
This is something sweet and romantic standing back to back outdoors 
Standing side by side now makes this couple more loveable

I can't believed that Soeulmates were really resourceful when it comes to Kim Bum and Kim So Eun. I just come across this posts which caught my attention ..It seems they are implying that Kim Bum and Kim So Eun is wearing the same ring or what we call couple's ring...Well it looks pretty similar to me though. This one causes an uproar to Korean industry and they are rumored to become campus couple.
Anyway here is the said photos;
As what I have gathered this photo were taken in his stint as a new commercial model of KIA

I am still clueless of 8Eight before since I am more into Korean drama and famous Japanese group like Arashi but after seeing the MV with Kim So Eun as the female lead I am hooked with their singing voice. The 8eight group won the first season of the television series, MBC’s Show Survival, whose format is similar to the U.S. show American Idol. They debuted on MBC’s Show! Music Core on August 25, 2007. This Talented group 8Eight made their comeback with a performance of "Goodbye My Love," on today's MNet M! Countdown. So I am hoping that this well do good in the chart since the song is really great as well as the MV.

Kim Bum ideal person is someone who's elegant, cute, and has a lot of charms. More than anything, I like good communication. That we have a solid chemistry as a foundation.
