ALL(H)OURS‘ Masami is facing dating rumors over recently posted images.
On December 7, an account on X shared photos alleged to be of Masami. The images show him with an unidentified female, with captions that seem to be from Masami’s point of view.
Another shot shows the pair inside a photo booth posing together.

Also shared with the photos was a note allegedly written to Masami by the supposed girlfriend, in which she talks about missing him and asks him if he promises to marry her. The caption, another allegedly from his point of view, says, “I love you, noona.”
To Masami
Baby!! I’m sneaking this note in while on standby again, hehe. I keep forgetting to give you the one I wrote last time. Hopefully, this time, you’ll see this one. Anyway, my question is… How are you so adorable, baby? I was so shocked to see how beautiful you look even right after getting out of bed. And I hate saying goodbye whenever I see you… One of these days, I’m going to cry because I hate it so much. I can’t help but falling deeper in love with you, it’s a problem. Promise you’ll marry me!! [Japanese] I love you, Masami. From Ye Jin noona.— Note
