BIGBANG’s Daesung and KARA’s Heo Young-ji were swept up in pink-hued dating rumors — but the buzz was quickly shut down as a simple misunderstanding.
On the 22nd, Daesung’s agency R&D Company delivered its position on the rumors involving Heo Young-ji through multiple media outlets.
The agency addressed the photos spreading across social media and online communities, stating, “After getting to know each other through ‘Jip Daesung’ (Daesung’s YouTube content), they went to a MAMAMOO concert together. They’re just close colleagues, and the dating rumors are not true.”
Earlier, photos of Daesung and Heo Young-ji attending a MAMAMOO concert circulated online. In the images, the two are seen sitting side by side, enjoying the show, and chatting — prompting some netizens to speculate they were dating.
Their past connection — Heo Young-ji’s appearance on Daesung’s YouTube series ‘Jip Daesung’ — resurfaced, drawing even more attention.
