On December 18, a post titled BOYNEXTDOOR MYUNG JAEHYUN + NMIXX OH HAEWON?” went viral. It has since been viewed over 65,000 times.

In the post, the author implied that the pair were dating, providing “evidence” of the pair’s interactions, starting with Haewon’s description of her ideal type. When the idol appeared on Lee Youngji‘s No Prepare, she mentioned she liked a “cute person” who was also “sharp,” and Myung Jaehyun is said to match this description.

The OP also claimed that Haewon’s mention of the number 24 was connected to Jaehyun, who previously wore a jersey featuring the number for BOYNEXTDOOR’s activities with NBA Japan. Also included were instances where the two idols spelled out “LOVE” using their fingers within days of each other and were “conscious” of each other while appearing on a music show.

Netizens commented on the post, and many were surprisingly skeptical of the evidence offered. While admitting that the two would “look nice together,” many felt that the instances were coincidences rather than proof of a relationship.

  • “LOL, it’s neither of them, haha.”
  • “Is this Oh Haewon acting crazy or Myung Jaehyun acting crazy?
  • “What kind of evidence is that? Even a laundry machine would bring something more solid, lol.”
  • “These days, there are just way too many forced dating rumors—like that Giselle-Wonbin thing, and now Haewon and Jaehyun?? Isn’t 20 (a reference to their age or something else) pushing it? Most of the time, rumors like this end up with those people getting caught in scandals with other male or female celebs anyway.”
  • “Honestly, it’s both, right? They’re geniuses in their main field, so while I can’t cheer for them, I can at least avoid hating on them. But if any eyewitness accounts come up, I’ll have to dive into the Han River, lol.”
