NCT's Jaehyun just personally addressed some sudden dating rumors that blew up online, all because of some vacation photos he posted on social media.
On the 26th, Jaehyun uploaded a bunch of photos of himself enjoying a beach vacation to his social media account. Among the photos, there was one specific photo showing him standing right next to a woman wearing a bikini.
Literally right after the post went up, the internet did what it does best and speculation quickly spread online that this woman might be Jaehyun's girlfriend, which immediately sparked major dating rumors.
As the controversy started getting out of hand, a producer fom SM Entertainment stepped in to defend him, leaving comment that said:
"He finally got to make some good memories with his cousin amidst his insanely busy schedule and shared them with good intentions. It makes me sad thinking about Jaehyun having to read these comments."
Jaehyun also didn't let the rumors slide and left a comment himself, simply writing, "My dearest cousin," making it 100% clear that the woman in the photos was just his cousin and completely putting the dating rumors to rest.
For a quick refresher, Jaehyun has officially been discharged from the military on May 3. He only shared these vacation photos in the first place to update fans on how he's been doing lately.
Even though these random dating rumors quickly surfaced out of nowhere, he handled it perfectly by personally clarifying the situation, effectively bringing all the crazy speculation to a dead end.
