ZEROBASEONE member Sung Hanbin is suspected of being in a relationship. But how true are the rumors?
Ever since ZEROBASEONE debuted in July 2023, the boy group has been actively making comebacks and embarking on new activities. With the group's contract being just two years and six months, the group is dedicated to releasing music and new content to make sure their fan base, ZEROSE, is happy.
However, reactions towards leader Sung Habin have shifted following dating rumors.
Is ZEROBASEONE Sung Hanbin in a Relationship?
On April 11, 2024, a post titled "Is that Sung Hanbin's lover?" was uploaded to the popular South Korean online community forum Nate Pann.
In the post, the original poster (OP) shared several photos of Sung Hanbin with an unidentified blonde girl. One photo shows them on the beach, buried under the sand.
Another shows the two riding horses together.
In one photo, Sung Hanbin is seen posing for a photo. The background of the photo features lush grass and a blue sky with white clouds. The unnamed woman also shared a photo of her with a similar background. It is noted that they are wearing the same outfits they wore to go horseback riding.
The post soon garnered attention from Korean netizens. However, people do not believe Sung Hanbin is actually in a relationship with the girl. It was noted that the post reached Korean community forums after a Chinese netizen shared the photos on Weibo, where it went viral.

It was noted that the photos were from before Sung Hanbin debuted and were snapshots taken during a trip with friends. In other photos, Sung Hanbin and the girl are seen with a large group of people.
Korean netizens claimed that it was obvious that they were friends and criticized OP, saying that men and women can have platonic friendships. Others asked the OP to mind their own business and to stop trolling.
Some comments read,
- "Do you honestly think that? What is the issue with these photos? She is clearly a friend."
- "You really have f*cking nothing better to do... Please screw off."
- "Sung Hanbin went on a trip with friends before debuting. OP, do you have no friends? These trolls are insane."
- "Ah, I was wondering why people were talking about this now, then I saw it was on the Weibo Hot Category. Those Chinese netizens are just like Pann's OPs; they are both trolls. Please use this time on your bias instead."
- "Do you not know that men and women can be friends? You trolls really need a beating."
