A netizen's claim sparked buzz about Sehun being spotted with his alleged girlfriend in public.
In an online forum, netizens were abuzz over rumors surrounding the EXO member's recent visit to a Japanese restaurant in Cheongdam-dong, Gangnam District. According to an anonymous post, Sehun was seen with "his girlfriend, who was carrying a Dior bag, at Homulang" inside Josun Hotel & Resorts.
Given that Sehun is currently fulfilling his military service, netizens were curious about his whereabouts and puzzled by the freedom he seemed to have as a public service worker.
The original post stated: "Is Sehun really doing his mandatory military service? I spotted him in Cheongdam with a girlfriend haha."
Netizens shared varied reactions, with many supporting his freedom to date while a few others left critical remarks:
"Well, he's in his thirties so he should be free to date"
"I gave up on him already when he announced he was just gonna be a public service worker"
"He's just gonna date now?"
"Buying a Dior bag for his girlfriend I see"
"I'm seriously considering leaving the fandom these days"
"Why are you all surprised? This isn't the first time he's had dating rumors"
"I support him dating, though. Look how old he is....."
"I hope isn't true but I still support him"
"I guess I'd be selfish if I never wanted him to date and remain as the maknae forever..."
"V, Karina, Chaeyoung, Jihyo, and everyone else are dating so why shouldn't Sehun date as a celebrity? I'm surprised at these reactions"
"Isn't he time he dated?"
"I thought this post was from like year 2014 lol"
"Why don't we just congratulate him?"
"Wow, it's been a while since I've heard his name"
Meanwhile, Sehun is expected to complete his duties some time in 2025, the same year as his group mate Kai, who is scheduled to complete his mandatory duties in February of that year. All other members of EXO have successfully completed their mandatory duties, and are actively carrying out solo promotions.

They're threatening to leave the fandom because an adult who is 30 in a couple months went on a date? Good lord, the fan culture is so messed up.
Also, I thought people who do the public service worker route basically work during the day and then go home at night, why wouldn't they be able to see friends and family when they're not at work? I'm not Korean though, correct me if I misunderstood.
