TWICE’s Chaeyoung and Zion.T are dating.
On April 4, KST, media news outlet SWAY released an exclusive report that Chaeyoung and Zion.T have been dating for the past six months. According to the outlet, the two first met through an introduction from a mutual acquaintance, and their relationship quickly evolved from being colleagues to lovers.
Chaeyoung was spotted enjoying public dates in the past and was no exception this time as well. The two were frequently spotted on dates in Hannam-dong and Yeonhui-dong.
A source familiar with both individuals stated, “Chaeyoung and Zion.T initially interacted as senior and junior colleagues before their relationship blossomed into a romantic one. Given that neither of them has a secretive or discreet personality, their close acquaintances are already well aware of their dating status.”
According to a tip-off from a subscriber to ‘SWAY,’ the couple primarily goes on dates in Gangbuk. Rather than crowded hotspots, they prefer quiet alleys, enjoying romantic strolls together.
Chaeyoung’s agency JYP Entertainment stated to OSEN on the 5th, “The two have developed feelings for each other and are supporting each other.”
Similarly, Zion.T’s agency, The Black Label, also conveyed the same stance on the same day, announcing the birth of a new couple in the music industry.
Earlier that morning, the exclusive news site Sway reported that the female idol Chaeyoung (TWICE) has been dating male singer Zion.T for 6 months. They first met through an acquaintance of Chaeyoung’s, and their feelings have since surpassed the level of colleagues and developed into a romantic relationship.
According to the report, Chaeyoung’s dating style is confidently public. The couple often goes on dates in the Hannam and Yeonhui areas, openly displaying their love. Zion.T perfectly fits the ideal type of TWICE’s youngest member. The female idol born in 1999 prefers slim, open-minded men with an artistic flair like Zion.T.
Meanwhile, Chaeyoung debuted as a member of TWICE in October 2015. Since their debut, the group has risen to become a national girl group, with Chaeyoung recently actively serving as a luxury brand ambassador.
Zion.T made his debut in the music industry in April 2011 with his single album ‘Click Me‘. Known for hits like “Yanghwa BRDG“, “Eat“, and “The Song“, he has been recognized as one of Korea’s most distinctive vocalists.
SWAY also cited a mutual acquaintance and explained, “Chaeyoung and Zion.T initially interacted as senior and junior colleagues before their relationship blossomed into a romantic one. Given that neither of them has a secretive or discreet personality, their close acquaintances are already well aware of their dating status.”
As much as this is an exclusive report, many Korean netizens drew their attention to the news and quickly gathered in popular online communities such as Theqoo to comment on the latest dating news.
Korean netizens’ comments varied, with many supporting Chaeyoung and Zion.T and some wondering why there have been so many dating reports in the entertainment industry lately.
Korean netizens commented, “They’re 26 and 36 in Korean age now. Hope they are happy,” “Chaeyoung is much younger than I thought,” “I’m so immune to these dating news reports now since there are so many being released lately,” “I think they look good together,” “I think Zion.T is younger than her ex-boyfriend,” “I was shocked that they were 10 years apart and I was shocked once again to learn that Chaeyoung was born in 99,” “I’m more curious about this news media outlet SWAY more than anything now. They exclusively reported on TWICE’s Jihyo’s dating news recently too,” “Why are there so many dating news these days?” “Her taste in men is so consistent, lol,” “I wonder if Jeon So Mi introduced them, lol,” Congrats to them both!” and “There is definitely something going on for so many dating news to be released.”
