Dating rumors can usually attract attention in fandom spaces, however, with the Vernon rumors, fans may only be focusing on one thing: his outfit!
The suit Vernon was wearing in the photo is one the idol seems to wear often, and fans couldn’t help but comment on it.
@caro1_ina As if no one cares but why is he always in the same clothes 😭.#fyp #seventeen #carat #vernon #kpop

I’m laughing Vernon gets involved in a dating scandal BUT how no one cares about the scandal and everyone is worried about him wearing the same outfit he always wears on dates😭

While there’s nothing wrong with dating idols, that’s not the truth of the (hilarious) situation.
The photo is from a set posted on a Chinese social media app, with the first showing Vernon with Tobi Loua musician he has worked with previously. The second image is the one circulating and is actually the OP in the photo, who approached Vernon.
I met Vernon in Los Angeles! I bought a concert ticket last minute and went to brunch with my friends. Then I saw someone at the door who actually looked like Vernon! I plucked up courage and got his autograph.
Vernon was so nice that he even asked me my name so he could write it down for his autograph! See you tonight, guys.– OP
So even though these dating rumors were unfounded, it’s nice to see that Carats found some humor in the situation!
