ENHYPEN's leader Jungwon found himself in the middle of unexpected dating rumors with aespa's Winter.

On December 11, Belift Lab, Jungwon's agency, addressed the situation in a statement to Star News. They firmly denied the claims, saying, "The dating rumors are not true." The agency added, "Belift Lab will take strong action against any activities that invade the artist's privacy or create and spread malicious rumors."

The rumors started when photos and videos were uploaded to online communities, allegedly showing Winter and Jungwon together. The post suggested the two were on a date, with the uploader commenting, "It’s the end of the year, so their schedules must be overlapping," and adding, "(Winter) should have worn the outfit from the challenge."

One part of the post claimed, "Winter entered a taxi first, and Yang Jungwon followed," implying that the two individuals in the clips were the idols in question.

However, the post has since been deleted, and both Jungwon's and Winter's teams have denied the allegations, putting an end to the rumors.

Fans are applauding both agencies for their swift responses and protecting their artists' privacy.

THE BOYZ's Juyeon has shared some surprising insights into his unexpected passion for reading, leaving fans in awe of his thoughtful and reflective nature!

In a recent interview for YES24's reading campaign Read With Me, Juyeon opened up about his love for books and how reading plays an important role in his life. He was the third participant in the campaign, and his list of “life-changing books” has certainly sparked interest among fans.

Juyeon shared that he doesn't read to relax but rather to grow and improve himself. He explained, “I don’t read books for comfort or relaxation, but rather to use them as a source of energy to better myself.” His dedication to self-improvement was clear as he mentioned, “When I read, I often pause to reflect on certain passages. Sometimes, I even make notes on my phone about what I've read.”

Fans were especially surprised when Juyeon revealed some of his notes, showcasing his deep thoughts and introspection. And in a sweet and unexpected moment, he shared that he doesn't cry easily but admitted that Slam Dunk made him tear up! “Even though I’m not someone who cries easily, Slam Dunk really touches my heart," he said.

Juyeon also recommended books that helped him through difficult times, like The Star of Dog Food by Hwang Sok Young, which he’s read over five times. He explained, “This book gave me strength when I was struggling in my life, and I still remember many of its passages.” He also praised Creative Acts by Rick Rubin, saying, “If you’re an artist, this is definitely a must-read.”

In addition to these life-changing books, Juyeon shared his love for a variety of genres, from Hermann Hesse’s Demian to Françoise Sagan’s Life is Too Slow, and Hope is Too Violent, proving his diverse reading tastes.

When asked which book would represent his life, Juyeon picked a “coming-of-age novel” and joked, “I have so many stories to tell that even Toji wouldn’t be enough. If I wrote a 600-page novel, I’d probably be around page 100 right now!”

Juyeon’s thoughtful nature and passion for reading have left fans even more captivated by the multi-talented idol.
