Leaked photos provided a close look at Kim Woo Seok's interactions with Kim Sejeong and ex-April's Hyunjoo on separate occasions, leading to speculations about their past relationships.
On December 10, X user @/SUPADUPAMY garnered traction from the K-pop community after sharing the alleged never-before-seen photos of Kim Woo Seok, along with two female idols he supposedly dated in the past.
The first one was with Hyunjoo, in which they were seen brushing their teeth together while wearing their pajamas. Speculating on the filter used in their photos, it was estimated that they were taken around 2017.
Kim Woo Seok was spotted in a second set of photos with former I.O.I member and gugudan's Kim Sejeong. The two joined Mnet's "Produce" series, where they were speculated to have met and became friends.
Seeing the male idol's blonde hair in the photo, some fans claimed that it happened back when Kim Woo Seok was still active in UP10TION.

When these posts blew up, Korean netizens expressed divided opinions about the photos. Some claimed that it could have been edited, but the original uploader attempted to prove they weren't by sharing a screenshot that the photos with Hyunjoo were taken from a video.
Some Kim Sejeong fans also defended the singer-actress, commenting that the photo doesn't prove anything and that they could have been just close friends.
With the anonymous OP's leaks, the fans of the three idols involved are hoping that their companies and management will take action to prevent the spread of more rumors.
Amid these speculations, Kim Woo Seok is fulfilling his compulsory military service after confirming his relationship with actress Kang Naeon.
