According to reports, Yuqi had returned to the hotel after her visit to Jackson's place, while Jackson left for the airport on the same day. A day after Jackson flew out of China, Yuqi left to return to South Korea.
After the video became viral across social media, many believed that the two Chinese K-pop idols were in a romantic relationship. However, others pointed out that there seemed to be discrepancies in the story.
Some netizens pointed out that the car used to pick up Yuqi and subsequently drop her off at Jackson's apartment was different from the car that dropped Jackson off at the airport.

In addition, many noticed that the clothes Yuqi was seen wearing as she returned to her hotel were not the same as what she wore when she was at the airport.
Despite that, the majority still wondered if the two were really dating. Following their dating rumors becoming viral, Jackson's side spoke up to deny the claims.
Jackson's company RYCE Entertainment stated that the video shared on social media was "pieced together and intentionally twisted the truth" to mislead the public and create a misunderstanding between Jackson and Yuqi's relationship.
