It was previously reported that 2AM‘s Seulong was the one who introduced TWICE‘s Jihyo to Kang Daniel, which eventually blossomed into a relationship as the two have been dating since early this year.

Seulong and Jihyo were both trainees under JYP Entertainment, as Seulong debuted a year after Jihyo signed with the agency. Kang Daniel and Seulong became good friends during Daniel’s promotions with Wanna One.
