RIIZE Anton's alleged girlfriend 'A' has responded to their dating rumors.

Speculation that Anton and 'A' are dating sparked after a photo of two people holding hands began circulating online. Netizens alleged the man in the photo resembles Anton, and furthermore, he's also wearing the same green bag the RIIZE member is known to wear.

Following the rumors, someone presumed to be 'A' spoke out on Instagram, denying she's dating the idol star. In the post, 'A' states they were indeed holding hands, but they are not dating. 'A' continues to claim they had been close friends, and the photos in question were taken when they were with a group of friends and not alone. She then explained she posted the photos to remember back to the day and was not aware it would create an issue.

SM Entertainment has yet to comment on the rumors.
