On July 26, both Dayoung and Jay Park uploaded several selfies together on their personal social media accounts without any captions.

In the photos, the two stars effortlessly showcased a free-spirited, trendy street-style aesthetic that immediately caught fans’ attention. However, what truly surprised viewers was their bold physical affection.

Jay Park was seen naturally wrapping his arm around Dayoung’s neck, while another photo showed him embracing her from behind in a back hug, interlocking their hands and flashing a playful smile. Dayoung also appeared equally comfortable, draping her arm over Jay Park’s shoulder and leaning closely against his back. Their chemistry looked so intimate that many fans found it hard to believe they were simply industry colleagues.

As expected, the photos quickly fueled speculation online. Even television personality Jang Sung Kyu left a blunt comment reading, “What’s going on between you two?”, expressing his surprise at their unusually close interactions. Fans also flooded the comment section with reactions such as, “Are they actually dating?” and “They look so good together,” openly wondering about the nature of their relationship.

Dayoung and Jay Park recently performed a special collaboration stage together at WATERBOMB Seoul 2026, held on July 24 and 25 at the Outdoor Global Stage of KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province.
