Fact Check: Are aespa’s Giselle And TREASURE’s Jihoon Dating?

However, it seems they have resurfaced following an interaction at a recent award show.

On November 17, the second day of the 2024 Korean Grand Music Awards took place and hosted a number of K-Pop idols. Both aespa and TREASURE were in attendance, with each group taking home awards.

During one of aespa’s award speeches, the camera’s focus shifted to Jihoon, who appeared a bit flustered while smiling. An account posted this to imply his reaction was due to aespa being on stage, refueling the previously false dating rumors.

Almost instantly, netizens reacted, taking steps to debunk the reason for Jihoon’s reaction. According to a fan posted clip, Jihoon’s reaction was due to the camera being focused on him for an extended amount of time, rather than to who was on stage.

It’s just that the camera was focused solely on him, making him feel awkward, so he smiled shyly. There’s no need for unnecessary criticism.

The part where he says, “It’s overwhelming,” was cut off.
In reality, the nearby camera filmed Jihoon exclusively for about 2–3 minutes.

He was like that for a while afterward.
I felt overwhelmed just watching it. While filming, I even thought, “Why are they filming so close?” LOL.
They say he even said it was overwhelming.

Sigh, I knew this guy would pull something awkward again. Totally saw it coming.
Bring something fresh next time, will you?

— OP

There is nothing wrong with idols dating, but it makes sense that fans would still like the information to not be based on twisting the truth.
