A fourth-generation male K-pop idol is being rumored to be the boyfriend of one of ENHYPEN's back-up dancers.
On July 31, 2024, a post titled "Male idols' egg account exposed his relationship" was shared with Nate Pann, which is one of South Korea's most well-known online community forums. In the post, the author shared several screenshots that claim TEMPEST's Hyuk is dating ENHYPEN's backup dancer.
In the post, a Bubble screenshot of Hyuk telling fans good night was posted. Earlier that same day, the alleged girlfriend shared on her Instagram Story that she was eating yeoksam pot with a man. Though their face was not seen, the jacket the man is wearing in the Story is the same one Hyuk was seen wearing in the post.
One fan had sent her a private message, asking if the person next to her was TEMPEST's Hyuk. Instead of confirming or denying, the dancer asks, "Who are you?" In response to her message, the fan claims that she unknowingly confirmed it was Hyuk next to her.
The alleged girlfriend of Hyuk then blocked her on Instagram.
Korean netizens in the comments were quick to mock Hyuk, stating that the reason is able to date, do lovestagram, go to clubs and adult entertainment venues is because he is not a well-known idol. They also mocked his supposed girlfriend for flexing a "flop" idol and stated that the only reason he was dating backup dancers was because he couldn't date female idols.
Others stated they had never heard of Hyuk before, and were shocked that people even knew who he was.
Some comments read,
- "Who the f*ck is this?"
- "Imagine flexing a flop idol."
- "So he can't dance with female idols, so he chooses to date dancers instead."
- "It's true that nugu-dols are way more intense with the way they date, do lovestagram, and go to clubs and adult entertainment. They even date their fans. It's always A-list and B-list idols that receive more hate."
- "I'm more impressed by the fact that there are people here who actually know who he is. Who is this?"
