Former April member Naeun and soccer player Lee Kang In persist in denying their dating news, sparking a wave of reactions among netizens.

On January 2nd KST, an exclusive media report revealed that the two were in fact dating, spending time together before and after Lee Kang In's soccer game. However, both in the original report and the subsequent official statements, Naeun's label curtly denied the actress' relationship with the soccer player. The label continued their stance that the two are "just acquaintances, no more than friends." 

Despite consistent denials, the speculation lingers, fueling discussions and debates within the online communities. Some of the comments are: "Maybe they are just in a talking stage lol"

"Do they really think people are this dumb?"

"So she'd invite Lee Kang In to her house just to get a ticket to the game? lol"

"They are 'friends' yet they secretly meet in a car and at her house."

"I guess all the bullies really do lead a happy life in Korea. Reminds me of my friend who tried to take her own life."

"Look, I don't like Naeun either but those pictures were from November. It's possible that they are friends now after parting ways."
