SEVENTEEN Mingyu’s Instagram was once a frequent source of delight for CARATs (fans) but had fallen into an unusual silence since July 29.
However, the long-anticipated wait came to an end when Mingyu finally broke his social media hiatus, treating fans to a visual delight that sent social media platforms buzzing.
SEVENTEEN Mingyu's Viral Instagram Post Sets CARATs Swooning with "Wrong” Sweatshirt Mishap
In an Instagram post that swiftly went viral, Mingyu shared a series of captivating images and short videos that left fans swooning.
The caption that accompanied these images read, "Could there be something more between Jeon Somi and SEVENTEEN's Mingyu?"
The netizen directed attention to Mingyu's choice of attire in the first photo and then juxtaposed it with a second image—a black "GAME PLAN" drawstring bag from Somi's event.
However, the most intriguing connection was drawn from the background of the second photo, which bore an uncanny resemblance to Mingyu's clothing design.
The insinuation here was that Somi had discreetly captured a photograph of the SEVENTEEN member from behind.
This line of reasoning led the netizen to posit the possibility of a romantic connection between the two K-pop stars, coining the term "lovestagram" in the process.
However, no concrete evidence was presented to substantiate claims of a romantic relationship between Mingyu and Somi.
As the dating rumors swirled around Mingyu and Somi, some netizens took the opportunity to discuss SEVENTEEN member Joshua, who had previously faced speculation regarding a relationship with a non-celebrity girlfriend.
Comments in the online discourse ranged from "Please go away" to "I'm not sure if they are dating or not, but considering what that couple did by bringing her to a concert and deceiving their fans, Jeon Somi is an angel in comparison."
One commenter shed light on the fact that Jeon Somi had extended invitations to Mingyu, alongside other SEVENTEEN members, The8, and Woozi, for her pre-listening party, providing context for the origin of the bag photo.
As of now, neither Mingyu nor Somi has officially addressed these dating rumors, leaving fans and the K-pop community eagerly awaiting clarity regarding the nature of their relationship.
