ENHYPEN members Jay, Jungwon spark dating rumours with recent sightings; ENGENES rally behind K-pop idols
ENHYPEN members Jay and Jungwon have sparked curiosity about their respective dating lives. This came after Jay was spotted with a mystery woman, while Jungwon was captured with aespa's Winter. The scrutiny surrounding their relationship status has now prompted sharp criticism from ENGENE who have come out in the K-pop idols' support.
It's almost 2025, and dating in the K-pop scene is still considered a taboo. Remember aespa's Karina's apology letter after Dispatch outed her secret relationship with K-drama star Lee Jae Wook? Yes, that. Well, the latest to face the wrath of this bizarre phenomenon are ENHYPEN members Jay and Jungwon. Both the idols of the fourth-generation group were subjected to intense social media scrutiny after their dating rumours went viral. While Jay was spotted with a mystery woman, Jungwon's pictures from an alleged date with aespa's Winter were widely circulated on the internet.
