The agency appears to have confirmed that the photos were real.

ALL(H)OURS‘ Masami is facing dating rumors over recently posted pictures.
On December 7, an account on X shared photos purported to belong to Masami. The images show him with an unidentified woman, with captions that appear to be from Masami’s point of view.
Another shot shows the couple inside a photo booth posing together.
Yejin, are you kidding me?

Along with the photos, a note allegedly written to Masami by his alleged girlfriend was also shared, in which she talks about missing him and asks him if he promises to marry her. The caption, presumably from his point of view, says: “I love you, noona.”
This is Masami
Child!! I secretly insert this note while I’m on standby again, hehe. I keep forgetting to give you what I wrote last time. I hope you see this this time. Anyway, my question is… how can you be so adorable, darling? I was so shocked to see how beautiful you even looked right after I got out of bed. And I hate saying goodbye to you every time I see you… One of these days, I’m going to cry because I hate it so much. I can’t help but fall in love with you even more, it’s a problem. Promise
will you marry me!! [Japanese] I love you, Masami. From Ye Jin noona. – Note
