Fans began to compile other “evidences” of their rumored relationship and found out that the two were both using the same handphone case.

Fans who did some sleuthing also allegedly uncovered that she was following fellow member Peniel‘s private Instagram account. It was speculated that Peniel, known for his wide social circle amongst influencers and creators, had introduced the two.
