On August 19, a post titled "Who do you think this male idol dating rumor is about?" was shared on an online community forum, sparking a lot of discussion.

The post’s author speculated about a “male idol dating rumor” based on information recently revealed by a YouTuber during a live broadcast. The author mentioned that the YouTuber hinted at a male idol being the ex-boyfriend of an informant, which caused the video’s views and comments to skyrocket.

The post went on to describe how, after the couple broke up, the woman was invited to the idol’s solo concert as a friend, where another group member showed interest in her. The individuals involved are reportedly in their early to mid-20s, leading to a flood of speculation in the comments about who the idol might be.

The author also claimed that the woman provided the YouTuber with photos and videos to prove the story was real, which the YouTuber confirmed after seeing the evidence. The story even included a reunion between the ex-couple after the woman shared her experience.

However, the YouTuber has since disabled comments on the video containing this information, causing many netizens to express doubt, saying, "We can't verify if it's true or not." Some even questioned whether it was an old video re-uploaded or a tactic to gain attention, which has only increased curiosity about the truth behind the rumor.

Top comments included:

"Even if that's real, it feels like it would be some unknown boy group that no one knows about, haha."

"If the group is revealed, the fans are going to lose their minds... 2 years of dating + making a lot of progress + another member making a move + other members in the same group also dating. It’s like a mental breakdown waiting to happen. F*ck."

"Since the YouTuber keeps emphasizing how they know a lot about boy groups, it doesn't seem like it would be a very popular or mainstream group. It’s probably a group with some recognition but not super famous."

"They said the woman is in a job that’s visible to the public, so she’s likely a YouTuber, influencer, or BJ (broadcast jockey)."

"If this blows up, the aftermath will be no joke. Right now, it feels like it could be my ex-idol, so my mental state is shaken for the first time in a while. When you watch the video, there’s talk about skinship, a member of the same group showing interest, and the final reunion at the end, haha. If this gets exposed, it's going to be a disaster."
