They further said that the paparazzi used several phrases such as "spent the night," "rose," "two beautiful ladies," "drove her to Wang Jia Er's home" and "you guys understand, I don't need to say more" just to mislead the public and make GOT7 Jackson look like he's dating (G)I-DLE Yuqi.
"This was done to draw attention to a hidden agenda. It's normal for friends to gather at Wang Jia Er's home," the studio continued.
