Fans disproved it.
It has not been a quiet week for RIIZE. Following Anton and Eunseok‘s various controversies, Wonbin has now been dragged into a dating rumor with aespa‘s NingNing. A netizen accused the pair of dating by gathering a few pieces of “evidence.”
1. Matching hoodies
2. Matching hats
This was disproved as the hat is a common one. Other company artists were also seen with the same hat.
3. Similar thumbs
NingNing posted a photo of a lighter warming a piece of food.
They speculated that the hand belonged to Wonbin after comparing it to a photo of his hand.
This is hard to prove as the whole hand is not shown.
4. Similar songs
On Wonbin’s recommended playlist was a song by Paul Blanco.
NingNing has sung the song on broadcast twice.
However, NingNing sang the songs in 2023, while Wonbin recommended it in 2024.
5. Interactions
The netizen claimed that they were frequently seen looking at each other…
…or standing near each other.
In actual fact, this was just a trick of angle. They were actually standing far apart.
Wonbin also continued to look in the same direction even when NingNing was not there. This was because the monitoring screen for artists was in that direction.
Sometimes, things are not what they seem! What do you guys think?
