Loco posted a photo taken in the forest on his Instagram Story on June 22. The rapper, who sat among the green plants in the picture, stares at the camera with a bright smile. It was around 5 p.m. KST when he posted it.
Around the same time, actress/model/singer Lee Sung Kyung also uploaded a photo that seemed to be in the botanical garden. The place where she took the photo was also adorned with plants and yellow flowers. She posed with her chin on both hands in the picture, looking beautiful as usual.
Aside from the same background and time it was posted, the filter that the two stars used in their photos was also similar.
With these pieces of likeness, online users assumed the pictures as "Lovestagram," where a couple would post "couple images" in their SNS.
Some internet users commented, "It looks like the photos were taken in the same place," "It turns out that the two of them are in a relationship," and "Wow, are they dating."
In addition, the online user who uploaded the post speculating that the two were dating, emphasized, "It is a photo that can never be taken alone."
Meanwhile, some fans already expressed their sour reaction to the dating rumor, saying, "No Bible (Lee Sung Kyung)," and "I'm against this relationship."
As of writing, Lee Sung Kyung and Loco's agencies are yet to release an official statement. However, there are also assumptions that, rather than dating, the two stars could be also working on a new music project.
