Red Velvet member Joy and singer Crush are drawing attention as their relationship remains solid five years after going public.
Recently, the two shared everyday moments from Japan on their respective Instagram accounts. Joy posted photos set against alleyways and streets across Japan, showing off a casual look, while Crush uploaded shots taken on Japanese streets around the same time.
In particular, the photos snapped in front of vending machines and what looked like late-night alley shots carried an uncannily similar vibe, prompting fans to react with comments like "It looks like they traveled together" and "Did they take photos for each other?" Because the pair rarely upload photos that appear to be from the same locations at the same time since going public, the 'Lovestagram' theory is gaining traction.
Their relationship also drew buzz at a family event earlier. At Joy's younger sister's wedding last October, Crush was spotted singing the congratulatory song. Dressed neatly, he took the stage and belted out his signature hit 'Beautiful.' Joy shared photos with her sisters, adding to the warm mood.
With even family meet-ups in the mix, many see this as proof of the stability of their public relationship. Although breakup rumors have surfaced online multiple times, their steady day-to-day updates and natural traces suggest the couple is still going strong.
The two first connected through Crush's 2020 release 'Mayday' (Korean title 'Janakkana') and confirmed their relationship in August 2021. Since then, while pursuing their own activities, they have continued to show unwavering affection, earning strong support from fans.
