The K-pop world never ceases to surprise, and the latest rumor is about SEVENTEEN‘s Mingyu and Jeon Somi. Netizens are abuzz with speculations about a possible romance between the two stars, and the evidence is piling up.

Recently, Mingyu was seen at the listening party for Somi’s latest album, “Game Plan.” Notably, he was there for the title song “Fast Forward.” For her part, Somi shared an Instagram story of her merchandise. The highlight? A drawstring bag draped over a distinctive lacy cardigan. 

Now here’s where things get interesting. Mingyu had previously posted a picture of himself wearing a similar cardigan. Moreover, during Somi‘s party, he was even spotted wearing it. This coincidence led many to believe that Mingyu might own the cardigan spotted in Somi’s Instagram story.

Mingyu wasn’t the only one there

But while the evidence might seem compelling, fans are reminding each other to exercise caution, as Mingyu wasn’t the only SEVENTEEN member at Somi‘s party. The8 and Woozi were also present. Given that several other artists, including big names like BTS‘s RM and TWICE‘s Jihyo, attended the event as well, it’s plausible that Mingyu and Somi are just close friends. 

Besides, as one netizen said, “If they truly were dating, I doubt they’d be this obvious, especially with the recent dating scandal surrounding SEVENTEEN‘s Joshua.”

Speaking of Joshua, he recently faced criticism due to suspected dating rumors with a model. The K-pop rumor mill has been quite active lately. While BLACKPINK‘s Jisoo confirmed her relationship with Ahn Bo Hyun, other rumored relationships, like those between BTS‘s V and BLACKPINK‘s Jennie or BLACKPINK‘s Lisa and Frédéric Arnault, remain unverified.

In the end, whether Mingyu and Somi are dating or just good friends, it’s essential to remember that they, like all artists, deserve respect and privacy. Speculations can be fun, but it’s crucial to approach them with a sense of responsibility and understanding. – K-Pop News Writer
