Early on Jan. 29, Korean media sources reported that Girls' Generation member Tiffany had been dating rapper Gray for the past three months.
According to the report, the two first met due to their involvement in the music industry. Tiffany frequently traveled to the AOMG agency headquarters to work on her solo album, where she ended up meeting Gray and entering a relationship with him, the article said.
Referring to the alleged couple, one insider stated, "I frequently saw them talking about music. They seemed like a normal couple in their 20s and I was quite envious of them."
However, later on Jan. 29, an employee at SM Entertainment softly denied the allegations by releasing a statement clarifying the relationship between the two artists. "They are just close friends. Since Tiffany is from America, she is more laid-back and touchy-feely."
Although SM Entertainment stated they are not dating, the company acknowledged that the two have a close relationship.
Gray is a rapper who is signed under AOMG, Jay Park's record label.
If the rumors are true, then Tiffany would be the second member of Girls' Generation to currently be in a relationship.
