In a surprising turn of events, RIIZE's Sungchan and aespa's Winter have found themselves at the center of some rather absurd dating rumors.

The rumors began circulating online after Korean netizens noticed that the messages Sungchan and Winter sent to fans had similarities suggesting they were dating. Sungchan shared on Weverse, "I like BingBingBar (ice cream). The condensed milk on top is delicious..." Meanwhile, Winter shared on Bubble, "I wish there was more condensed milk in BingBing (ice cream). I do feel a bit disappointed; perhaps that's the charm of BingBing (ice cream)... Of course, it would be good if it had a lot of condensed milk... but you might get tired of it soon..."

One netizen made an absurd claim that Sungchan and Winter publicly expressing their fondness for the condensed milk and BingBing ice cream bars was a sign they might be dating.

Other Korean netizens criticized this claim as ridiculous and admonished those who supported the rumor. They commented: 

"If you cut and twist things like this to say they are dating, you could ship every idol. Seriously, stop it."
"This seems real."
"Something fishy."
"They look good together. If they're dating, then they're dating. It's not like they're going to date you anyway~~"
"I also wish there was more condensed milk on top of the BingBingBar."

"Why is this kind of post trending? I'm tired of seeing it."

"How many boyfriends does Winter have, seriously?"
"This is weird."
"Won Bin was the first to say he likes BingBingBar, haha."
"Who dates who is none of your business, haha. I find it even funnier that this is being made a public issue."
"You think just like me. The three of us are dating."
"Bingbingbar is good."
