On various online communities, photos or the ''evidence'' of Lim Young Min and his alleged girlfriend circulated. It's claimed that his girlfriend enjoyed ''lovestagram'' and the two even traveled to Japan together. 

According to netizens, the two have been dating since Lim Young Min was preparing for 'Produce 101' season 2. 

In response to the rumors, Brand New Music stated on May 23, "We want to inform that the rumors circulating about trainee Lim Young Min are not true. Please control yourselves from spreading false posts as it can cause severe damage to the person involved."

Despite the denial, many fans and netizens have turned their backs and commented, "Bullsh*t lol They obviously went to a hotel together. No fans are going to believe the official statement", "Saying it's not true... lol", "The label's lying straight to our face", "He's over... Fans in their 20s will just let it slide but most fans are in their teens so...", "That sucks for him. He'll just have to debut under Brand New Music now lol"
