Netizens are spreading rumors that a male idol has been caught dating a female dancer for ENHYPEN.
Rumors began when photos were shared through social media and one user quickly noticed that the man in the photo was a member of the group TEMPEST.
The user messaged the person who posted the photo, asking, "Is the guy in front of you Koo Bon Hyuk (Hyuk from TEMPEST)?" The individual responded with, "And you are?" Following this exchange, the user reported that the person who posted the photo blocked them, seemingly avoiding further clarification about the man's identity in the picture.
The netizen also shared photos comparing the outfit worn by the TEMPEST member on that day with the outfit of the man in the photo. Not only that, the netizen spotted that the ENHYPEN female dancer had a bandaid on her thumb, which was seen in the photo as well, sparking the rumors they were dating.
Korean netizens commented:
"Who is this?"
"I guess he's dating idol's backdancers since he can't date the female idols."
"The reality is that lesser-known idols often engage in dating, sharing romantic posts, clubbing, and even dating fans, but it's only the popular top-tier idols who get criticized for it."
"Another member of the same group faced similar issues and stopped activities but he still doesn't seem to learn his lesson..."
"Isn't this the group that's going to appear on 'Road to Kingdom' soon?"
"I can't believe netizens were able to find this."
"Who?"
"I don't care if this unknown idol is dating or not lol."
