Star couple Kwon Sang-woo and Sohn Tae-young plan to ask police to investigate rumors about them that have been spreading rapidly on Internet portals, press reports say.

One of the couple's associates was quoted as saying, "Rumors began to emerge through underground newsletters circulating on the stock market. The couple will file a petition with the police cyber task force asking for a probe."

One of the rumors claims that Kwon, 33, and Sohn, 29, will divorce soon. The couple has flatly denied the rumors, reportedly saying, "We are living well. We have no idea why such rumors are spreading."

Kwon's friends support the couple's claims, noting that they have been going out with their son frequently.

Kwon and Sohn tied the knot last September during a three-hour private wedding that drew a crowd including top Korean stars, reporters and fans from Japan.

Kwon shot to stardom by appearing in hit dramas like "Stairways of Heaven" (2003), "Bad Love" (2007), and movies "My Tutor Friend" (2003) and "Fate" (2008).

Sohn, a Miss Korea runner-up in 2000, gained popularity with her acting and sense of style with such films as "Sad Movie" (2005) and "The Railroad" (2007).
