Fans' Reactions
"Are LE SSERAFIM's Chaewon and TXT's Beomgyu dating?" a netizen wrote.
"Beomgyu and Chaewon both have matching couple brown eyes, so they must be dating," another netizen commented.
However, the fans of Chaewon and Beomgyu came forward in support of the K-pop idols. They shared their opinions on various social media platforms and online communities. According to them, netizens are making up things to gain popularity.
"Lol, here we go again. The imagination of Knetz knows no bounds. It's a bit of a stretch to say A is dating B because there's a standee on the fridge, especially when person A lives in a dorm with at least half a dozen other people. Presumably, someone, there is a fan. I've 'dated' stars, given how many posters I used to have on the walls, pity I didn't know that or appreciate it at the time )," a fan commented.
"A man and a woman can be friends. If they are together, it doesn't always mean dating. If they are in a secret relationship, that is their personal life. They are both adults. If they did want to date, they would take care of things. It's Beomgyu and Chaewon business," another netizen opined.
