AKMU's Chanhyuk and fromis_9's Lee Sae Rom were recently embroiled in dating rumors after a netizen revealed that they had witnessed the alleged couple visiting an acquaintance's workshop to purchase several artworks.
After the initial dating rumors circulated online, netizens began collecting and finding photos showing that the two celebrities had been visiting the same location and allegedly wearing matching rings of similar designs. With further speculations that Chanhyuk and Le Sae Rom have been dating for about a year, YG Entertainment released a statement in response to the rumors.
YG Entertainment responded by saying, "It is difficult to confirm as it is the artist's private matter."
Now, K-netizens are taking this latest statement as a confirmation of the celebrities' relationship and congratulating the two online. This is because of the past tendencies for YG Entertainment to release the same statement of "a private matter" if their artist is indeed dating the person in question rather than denying the rumors.
K-Netizens commented, "Congrats," "Wow, he was saying he wanted to get married in 'I Live Alone'. It was because he was with Sae Rom," "This is cute," "Congrats to both of them," "Since YG is saying this is a 'private' matter, it must be true that they are dating," "This is YG's way of admitting the rumors are true, lol," "They look good together," "Hope they are happy together for a long time," "Chanhyuk was saying he wants to get married fast on 'I Live Alone.' That's cute," "Chanhyuk congrats, now that you're dating, write brighter love songs!" "By the way YG Entertainment is responding, it shows it's true," "YG admitted lol." "If YG didn't respond, no one would have believed but now that they released their 'it's private matter' statement, everyone now knows it's true, lol," and "I see. Good for them."
idk why they the media continues to ask YGE for confirmation. Lol. They always say that it's the artist's business.
