No rumor could be as exciting as the rumor of South Korean actor Gong Yoo and International Pop star Taylor Swift having lunch in New York City and probably collaborating on a project together.

Then the actor was corrected to be Gong Yoo.
Many fans were pleased to hear the rumors, and someone even said, “I absolutely had no idea that I needed these two beautiful together until now, I swear. Hope this is true, who knows what’s behind this meeting??” While some fans speculate that Gong Yoo might star in a Taylor Swift music video soon.
