Some netizens believe that soccer player Lee Kang In and former April member Lee Naeun, who became wrapped up in dating rumors earlier this year, may still be dating. 

The two stars were previously captured by the paparazzi on their way to Lee Naeun's home in November of 2023. Then, when dating rumors between them broke out in January, some industry insiders claimed that Lee Kang In and Lee Naeun had in fact dated, but had already broken up. 

However, based on their latest activities, some netizens are speculating that Lee Kang In and Lee Naeun either "never broke up", or "decided to get back together". 

As "evidence", one netizen claimed, "When Lee Kang In and Lee Naeun were having dates at Lee Naeun's house in November, she posted this. A random pretzel and a heart."

Then, a few days ago, Lee Kang In "posted this on his official Instagram by mistake and took it down immediately. He probably meant to post it on his private Instagram. A croissant and a heart."

Most recently on March 20 KST, when Lee Kang In arrived in Korea from Paris, he was "seen with a 'Jellycat' croissant key chain," and "Lee Naeun is known to be a big fan of 'Jellycat' items." 

The netizen further claimed, "There's no way Lee Kang In bought that key chain and hung it on his bag himself." 

Finally, a day before Lee Kang In's return to Korea, Lee Naeun reportedly "posted photos wearing a 'Paris' hat on her Instagram story." 

Meanwhile, Lee Kang In most recently came under public scrutiny for his "attitude problems" while playing for the South Korean national team at the Asian Cup in Qatar. His public image has yet to recover, and many netizens continue to label him as a "problem child". 

In response to the latest speculations about his continued relationship with Lee Naeun, some left comments like,

"Two people with rotten personalities, they must get along well."

"He really loves to cause all kinds of problems doesn't he."

"They look great together! Two bullies!"

"Who cares if those two date."

"They're a match made in heaven! Hope they get married lol."

"A bully and a soccer player who is more serious about table tennis than his own sport. They look great together."
