ASTRO Jinjin Dating Rumor: Did He Really Have a Girlfriend Before?
Back on June 14, 2019, one famous Korean fan site of ASTRO JinJin took to Twitter to announce its closure. The fan running the fan site also revealed the reason for closing down. In their tweet, she accused the male idol of having a girlfriend.
"Close.
When I asked for a nickname this year and you wrote one down without hesitation, who would have thought it was the name of your girlfriend's cat? Just what were you thinking while looking at the fans who found the name cute, saying it suited you and that they liked it. Also, let's refrain from wearing couple shoes during schedules."

The fan was referencing the time she went to an ASTRO fansign in 2019 and asked JinJin if there was a nickname he would like fans to call him that year.
In her tweet about that moment, the fan said:
"I asked Jinwoo (t/n: JinJin's real name) if there was a nickname we can call him this 2019 and he said 'Ddaenggeul JinJin' (t/n: round/soft JinJin). Ddaengeul.. Ddaengeul... Jinwoo is sharp but seeing him say this himself is adorable. Ddaengeul Jinwoo, fighting this year too."
Later on, one netizen claimed they found the Instagram account of ASTRO JinJin's alleged girlfriend. The netizen also saw a photo of a cat on her Instagram feed and asked the name in the comments section, and the girlfriend confirmed the cat's name is Ddaengeul. The netizen's post containing a screenshot of their interaction has since been deleted.
A: Is it Ddongguel?
G: It's Ddangeul.

Following that, other netizens were able to discover couple items and clothes that supposedly prove the rapper is dating. They found couple bracelets...
...as well as couple shoes (which the fansite referenced above).
On top of that, they also found a photo that ASTRO JinJin's alleged girlfriend posted. The image shows a male hugging the cat and people believe it's the male idol due to how the same their faces were and the fact that he owns the hat and shirt seen in the picture.
It didn't take long for the phrase "JinJin girlfriend" to trend on Twitter Korea. But even though the rumors went viral, ASTRO's management agency, Fantagio, didn't release an official statement to address the matter. Hence, it's uncertain whether JinJin was really dating at that time.
