Joshua Jisoo Hong from Seventeen has become the center of attraction because people have linked him to a girl. Dating is a big deal in the K-pop industry, especially when it comes to singers and actors. Moreover, Joshua is a Korean-American singer and a Korean idol predominantly known as a member of the band Seventeen.
Seventeen is a Korean boy group that works under the label Pledis Entertainment. Born in Korea in 1995, Joshua was raised in America and trained under Pledis Entertainment from 2013 to 2015. After that, he returned to South Korea. Now Joshua is a member of the vocals unit in Seventeen.
Joshua appeared as a guest and performer in several television shows across different countries over the years. He updates his fans by sharing his photos on his Instagram account, @joshu_acoustic.
Is Joshua From Seventeen Dating?
Joshua is rumored to be dating an Instagram model named Cho Mi Young. It all started in August 2023 when internet users caught them wearing the same outfits multiple times. Besides that, several items in their individual photos were the same.
Young reportedly attended a Seventeen concert as a guest with her friends in Japan in September 2023. Previously, she created a controversy by attending Seventeen’s concert in Seoul with her two friends. Young, Joshua, and their agencies neither confirmed nor denied their relationship, which added oil to the fire.
Some internet users assume the rumors are baseless and have already concluded that Joshua is not dating anyone, while other sensible ones are waiting for a confirmation from his or Mi Young’s side to conclude something. Young wore apparel similar to his or attended his concert, but it does not prove their relationship.
Young sparked pregnancy rumors in December 2023 when people allegedly caught her with a pregnancy badge in a photo shared by her on Instagram. Some people think that the badge might not be hers. Previously, she had revealed that she got a TUMS.
According to the misconception, only pregnant ladies consume TUMS. However, some internet users stated that TUMS also helps with indigestion and heartburn. Thus, none can conclude anything until Joshua and Young open up.
Some sources state that Young participated in the MBN dating reality show ‘Before Ssom Rise,’ in 2019, where a dozen participants had to take seventeen days out of their busy schedule to go on a romantic journey in Andalucia, Spain.
The concept was somewhat based on the movie ‘Before Sunrise,’ which meant finding love in an exotic place. The show ran for only thirteen episodes. Young is active on Instagram, but her account is private, unlike Joshua.
People’s Extreme Reactions
Some Instagram users took an extreme step and began flooding the platform with malicious, hateful, and insulting comments. Some of them are supposedly Seventeem fans. They predominantly targeted Young and accused her of undergoing plastic surgery. Meanwhile, some addressed Joshua too.
Some internet users were frustrated because they looked upon the concert as a special event, but Joshua and Young were busy publicly displaying their relationship.
Thus, people became angry after learning about Joshua’s potential relationship. However, everything on the internet is not real. Some people think the relationship will not last long and the rumored couple will soon move on like any other celebrity couple.
Young asked the trollers whether Joshua, a K-pop idol, does not have a right to be in a relationship. On the other hand, cannot his girlfriend show off their relationship if she wants to? Young did not bother about Joshua’s fans. Instead, she asked them to respect his personal life. After that, Young deleted some comments and disabled her Instagram comment section.
Some response from Young’s side was necessary, though not enough because some fans protested before the HYBE trucks, headquarters, and Porsche cars.
Momoland’s Jane
Some people do not fail to surprise others while linking the celebrities. Momoland’s Jane reportedly found internet search results linking her to Seventeen’s Joshua and opened up about the rumors. Accordingly, she said that the rumors were baseless.
Jane did not know Joshua in person and was uncomfortable while addressing the rumors. She thought the rumors spread due to her prolonged silence, which created misunderstandings between her and her label. Thus, she had to speak out.
All six members of MOMOLAND announced their disbandment on Instagram on 14 February 2023. Their contract with their label, MLD Entertainment, expired, and they decided not to renew it, which resulted in the disbandment.
