He had previously denied it.
ENIPENE‘S Jungwon was previously engulfed in dating rumors. He was allegedly spotted at a bar with aespa‘S Winter.
SM Entertainment denied that they were dating, claiming that they were just fellow trainees as Jungwon trained at SM Entertainment. As the allegations grew, Chinese fans claimed to have seen him smoking outside the dorms.
A day after the allegations went viral, Jungwon stepped in to clarify the rumors. He openly denied the allegations.
“I’m not in a relationship.
I don’t smoke
I don’t know how you will deal with the people who posted this…”

I don’t date and there was something about the fact that I smoked too. I don’t smoke either. I don’t know how those people do it [who uploaded the photos] I will face the consequences, but I don’t date and I don’t even smoke.
—Jungwon
In response to his courageous speech, netizens sent their support to him.
- How could people believe it was him when the person in the photos was all covered up?
- A real man.
- Wow, he’s got some crazy guts. I’m so jealous of how refreshingly outspoken he is.
- Wow, the comments here are so mentally ill LOL. Even if he openly tells people this, they are sarcastic about it LOL.
- If the interested party openly says no, then we believe him. Because it’s so funny how people say “so it’s true they went there anyway” while talking about photos and videos of sasaengs.
- Ah, that’s so pitiful though. She might date someone later, but if it gets publicized, people will go crazy. Being an idol is a really extreme job.
- They don’t give a shit LOL.
- I love his personality. This is why I love Jungwon.
