Daesung's representatives are officially clearing up the sudden dating rumors involving him and KARA's Heo Youngji.
According to a report by Yonhap News TV on the 22nd, Daesung's agency, R&D Company, quickly shut down the speculation, clarifying:
"They became close after ZIP Daesung and went to watch MAMAMOO's concert together. They are simply close colleagues. The dating rumors are not true."
The rumors started on the 21st when videos capturing Daesung, Heo Youngji, and Oh My Girl's Hyojung watching MAMAMOO's concert held at the Olympic Hall in Seoul Olympic Park spread across online communities and social media.
In the videos, Daesung and Heo Youngji were sitting next to each other, closely looking at their light sticks together. The two drew attention because they appeared friendly as they talked and laughed during the show, leading some netizens to start speculating that the two might be dating.
The rumors grew even more as netizens pointed out Heo Youngji's past guest appearance on Daesung's Youtube channel, ZIP Daesung. During that episode, Daesung had shared, "Taeyang Hyung told me I should try hitting it off with Youngji. I guess he must've really liked our chemistry."
