There is no confirmed real-life romance between the lead actors of Forever Young 2. While Kang Tae Oh (Lee Jun Su) and Nha Phuong (Linh) displayed remarkable on-screen chemistry that deeply resonated with fans across Korea and Vietnam, their relationship has remained professional.

Their close friendship and emotional performances sparked rumors of a real-life romance, especially after their continued collaboration from Forever Young Season 1 into Season 2. The speculation grew stronger due to their comfort and rapport during interviews and public appearances. However, neither actor confirmed any romantic involvement off-screen.

Adding to the clarity, Nha Phuong publicly married Vietnamese comedian and actor Trường Giang in 2018, making it clear that her relationship with Kang Tae Oh was not romantic in nature.

While Forever Young 2 captivated audiences with its moving love story, the romance between the lead actors was purely fictional and part of their compelling performances.
