After vacation photos stirred up dating rumors, NCT member Jaehyun personally stepped in to explain.
On the 26th, Jaehyun uploaded several photos and videos to his Instagram without any caption.
The photos show him surfing in the ocean. Wearing swimwear, he showed off a toned physique and sharp abs that instantly grabbed attention.
One clip in particular drew eyes: a long-haired woman in a white bikini jumps into the sea alongside him. Overseas fans quickly speculated that he had gone public with a relationship, flooding the post with comments.
Jaehyun shut down the rumors himself by replying, "My dearest cousin," making it clear the woman with him was his cousin.
Meanwhile, Jaehyun enlisted in November 2024 in the Army band and was discharged in May 2026 with the rank of sergeant.
