While there’s no solid proof, some netizens believe this could be a low-key romance.
2. IU & Lee Jong Suk – Breakup Speculation Sparks Debate
Singer IU and actor Lee Jong Suk have been a confirmed couple since 2022, but recent chatter on Weibo suggests they may have called it quits. A viral post highlighted that IU has been wearing her ring on her index finger—a Korean symbol of being single. While fans are divided on whether this truly means a breakup, the couple has yet to address the rumors.
3. (G)I-DLE’s Shuhua & NCT’s Hendery – Just a Friendly Dinner?
After the two idols were seen dining together as part of a group, rumors about a possible romance started swirling. The dinner happened to be on the same day as an NCT member’s birthday, which some fans took as a subtle clue. So far, neither idol has commented on the speculation.
4. RIIZE’s Wonbin & aespa’s Giselle – Matching Words, Matching Hearts?
Fans noticed that Wonbin and Giselle have been using the same cute slang term, “algejji,” in their recent messages. Some believe this could hint at a secret connection, while others argue it’s a fun coincidence. Either way, this small linguistic detail has sparked another wave of speculation.
5. BLACKPINK’s Rosé & Jaden Smith – The “Toxic” Theory
With the release of Rosé’s solo album Rosie, fans became obsessed with finding out who inspired her song Toxic till the end. Some theorized that her “toxic ex” might be none other than Jaden Smith, given his past interactions with BLACKPINK. However, Rosé shut down the rumors in a Vanity Fair interview, confirming that she and Jaden have never been romantically involved.
K-pop dating rumors are always a hot topic, but as always, fans should take them with a grain of salt—until the idols themselves confirm or deny the buzz!
