Although dating speculations among these idols have been addressed, some remain suspicious because of the confusing statement released by their agencies.
In K-pop, dating rumors among idols are commonly handled by agencies through an official statement. According to industry officials, companies of both idols involved usually discussed it together with each artist's side prior to releasing a response.
However, these 3 dating rumors "failed" to clearly address what was the fact and and what was not; thus, these remain mysteries of K-pop that fans still discuss to date.
1. iKON Yunhyeong & Former MOMOLAND Daisy
On February 14, 2019, a Korean media outlet reported that former MOMOLAND member Daisy and iKON Yunhyeong have been dating since 2018.
MLD Entertainment, then agency of Daisy, and YG Entertainment immediately released their respective statements regarding the rumor.
MLD Entertainment confirmed the dating news and said:
"Hello, this is MLD Entertainment. We would like to express our official position on the dating rumors between our artist, Daisy and iKON's Song Yunhyeong. As a result of our confirmation, it was confirmed that they had been dating for the past 3 months."

However, on the same day, YG Entertainment denied the rumor and said:
"It is true that they met several times with good feelings, but they are not dating."
Ultimately, one is saying the truth, while the other is not. If MLD is the one with the fact, YG lied. If YG's the one carrying the truth, it will be embarrassing for Daisy who thought she was in a relationship with the male idol. But since then, there was no update on the current relationship of the idols.
2. Girls' Generation Taeyeon & VIXX Ravi
In December 2020, Taeyeon and Ravi shook the entertainment industry with their dating news.
According to K-media outlet Joynews24, the pair spent Christmas together at Ravi's house, and they started dating after being introduced through a mutual friend.
There are three statements from SM Entertainment, but Taeyeon's agency and GROOVL1N, Ravi's label that confused the K-pop community and media.
As soon as the rumor circulated, both agencies released their first statement conveying that they are checking facts from their artists.

The agencies' second statement then became something like Daisy and Yunhyeong's, where SM denied the rumor, while the latter confirmed it.
GROOVL1N said through Joynews24:
"It's true that they're dating. Please do not make any guesses so they can have a good relationship."
However, a few hours later, GROOVL1N slammed the news that they made an initial statement through a media outlet, confirming the rumor. According to the label, Ravi and Taeyeon are only acquaintances, just like what SM said.
Until now, fans still what happened to the pair.
3. BLACKPINK Jennie & BIGBANG G-Dragon
In 2021, the two YG Entertainment artists were reported to be dating. According to Dispatch at the time, a notorious media outlet, Jennie and GD have been dating for a year.
The media said Jennie had been seeing the male star mainly by visiting G-Dragon's luxury villa in Hannam-dong, Seoul. At that time, K-pop fans had mixed reactions about the news.
In response, YG Entertainment released their official statement; but it didn't help to clear the rumor, rather, it confused fans even more.

"It is difficult for the company to confirm the artist's personal life of the artist. I ask for your understanding," YG stated.
YG's position, which does not actively deny, has begun to form an atmosphere in which G-Dragon and Jennie's romantic relationship is accepted as true. This is because NCND (neither confirm nor deny) tends to be accepted as a positive meaning.
Since then, no news has been heard that there has been a change in the relationship between the two. Now, there are still people who are curious about the real score between YG artists.
