Internet users react to viral dating allegations THE BOYS‘S Sunwoo AND I AM‘S Yeji.
On September 21, a post titled “THE BOYZ’s Sunwoo and ITZY’s Yeji Look Like They’re Dating” went viral. Since then, the post has been viewed nearly 100,000 times.
Despite the title, the post, however, offers very little evidence of the alleged couple dating. In fact, the author claims that the two must be dating because they both share an affinity for a popular character in Korea.
- Yeji on Bubble: “Han Gyo Don Towel”
- Yeji: “LOL”
- Yeji: “He’s so cute, lol”
- Yeji: “Of all the things I bought today…”
- Yeji: “He’s the person I love the most~”
The post included a comic book message from Yeji talking about the character and photos of Sunwoo purchasing goods from the character’s shop before stating that this must mean the two idols were dating.
This was Yeji’s bubble message on May 21st and the photos show Sunwoo’s actions in September. I think Stray Kids’ Hyunjin introduced them.

Netizens reacted to the post with overwhelming criticism of the author. Some even said they would sue the author for spreading misinformation.
- “Is this the only evidence? Are you trying to say they’re together based on this?”
- “Yeji only mentioned the character once in May. What does that have to do with Sunwoo liking the character?”
- “This is really ridiculous.”
- “I will report this, so please continue to spread this misinformation.”
- “Everyone likes that character.”
- “You posted this because you know people click on Yeji posts. Nate’s users are so transparent.”
- “Yeji likes a different character… It seems like you’re a psychopathic Sunwoo fan, but don’t use my idol to bring him down.”
