A few months ago, the dating rumor between SEVENTEEN’s Joshua and influencer Cho Mi-young broke out, which resulted in the two receiving a lot of criticism from the online community as well as Joshua’s fan community.
On social media platforms such as X (Twitter), Joshua’s fans have been trying to find evidence to prove that Cho is taking advantage of Joshua to gain popularity.
To summarize, fans speculate that Cho Mi-young is collaborating with a Chinese company. Someone pointed out that the company’s owner also owns quite a few media companies. On the other hand, he himself also worked as an artist manager. This explains why Joshua’s dating rumor became so viral in China. Fans believe Cho has a “team” behind her who helps her attract attention, using Joshua’s fame and large fan base in China.
After fans’ speculation was raised, the company hid its account’s follower number. Cho Min-young also removed the link to the modeling agency’s account on her social media profile.
