ATEEZ members San and Wooyoung have finally addressed the dating rumors that have followed their close friendship for years. During a video on their newly launched joint YouTube channel, the couple made it clear that they are not in a romantic relationship, putting to rest long-standing speculation with humor.
The lighthearted moment occurred while the two idols were brainstorming ideas for future videos. While brainstorming content, Wooyoung suggested filming themselves getting another friendship tattoo.
He also joked that they would have to record the process from start to finish, even asking both parents for permission. San immediately laughed at the idea and pointed out how fans might react.
According to AllKPop, she told Wooyoung, “Don’t talk nonsense. People will think we’re really dating.” The playful exchange quickly became one of the most talked about moments of the video.
Taking the opportunity to directly address the rumors, San looked at the camera and said, “Anyway, while I have the chance, let me say it here. We’re not dating. We’re just really good friends.”
Moments later, a producer jokingly asked the couple to sit closer together. Laughing at the timing, San replied, “After talking about this, getting closer feels awkward. Can we move again?”
San and Wooyoung confirm that they are just friends
The candid conversation spread quickly on social media, with many fans appreciating how effortlessly the two idols handled the situation. Instead of making a serious announcement, San and Wooyoung chose to clear up the rumors with the same playful chemistry that has made their friendship so popular among fans. Dating speculation has continued for years due to the couple’s close bond.
San and Wooyoung often talked about supporting each other, shared many affectionate moments on and off the stage, and even described each other as soulmates. They also have matching friendship tattoos that read “Amicus ad aras,” a Latin phrase meaning “a friend to the end” or “until death,” Times Now reported.
Those gestures led some fans to wonder if their relationship was more than just friendship. With their latest comments, however, the two left little room for misunderstanding. Their message was simple: They are close friends who enjoy spending time together, not a couple.
San and Wooyoung’s honest response was praised by many fans, who appreciated that the idols addressed the rumors themselves instead of letting the speculations continue.
