Following dating rumors concerning RIIZE's Anton and Eunseok, Wonbin is the next member to be embroiled in one with aespa's Ningning. But do Korean netizens believe it?
Previously, Eunseok was accused of being the ex-boyfriend of Han Seo Hee's friend and idol dating broker. In chat messages shared online, the girl claims to be Eunseok's ex-girlfriend and has used Eunseok to introduce Han Seo Hee to RIIZE members. However, this has been debunked, with Han Seo Hee saying the screenshots are fake.
Anton was embroiled in dating rumors after a photo of him holding hands with a girl while on break in New Jersey was leaked online. However, this too has been debunked, with the girl in the photo releasing a statement. Though she confirmed the photo is of Anton and her, she states they are not dating and are simply long-time friends.
Now, Wonbin is embroiled in dating rumors with aespa's Ningning. Here's why.
Dating Rumors Emerge Between RIIZE Wonbin & aespa Ningning
On March 13, 2024, a netizen shared a post to a popular online community with supposed evidence of Wonbin and Ningning's relationship.
The user shared photos of Wonbin and Ningning wearing the same hoodie and cap, insinuating that they either shared clothes or had the same items as couple clothing.
They also shared a photo from Ningning's Instagram account. The photo shows a hand lighting a candle, which is believed to be Wonbin's hands due to similarities in nail shape.
It was noted that in Wonbin's playlist, he recommended the song "Something Like That" by Paul Blanco. This is a song that Ningning has repeatedly stated is one of her favorites. She has covered the song in the past and has mentioned it on live streams.

Many are not buying the supposed proof of the two idols' relationship. Korean netizens are saying that the claims are too farfetched and have even debunked some of the evidence brought into question.
It was noted that the baseball cap Ningning and Wonbin were seen wearing is not unique; in fact, several other SM Entertainment idols were seen wearing that same cap in public.
The hoodie the two were seen wearing has also been worn by several K-pop idols, such as aespa's Winter, SEVENTEEN's S.Coups, and ONEUS's Xion.

With that, people are stating they do not believe the two idols are dating and hope the rumors stop.
Some comments read,

- "This is too far-fetched."
- "Please say things that make sense."
- "This is getting tiring."
