Kim Minseo, who debuted with DRIPPIN in 2020 and has remained active with the group, was previously linked to a Chinese influencer. According to online discussions, the influencer had shared details of their alleged relationship and later claimed they broke up after Minseo failed to keep certain promises related to his activities as an idol. That situation attracted significant attention at the time and left lingering impressions among fans.
Now, fresh speculation has emerged. A series of posts circulating online allege that Minseo was seen out with a new partner during New Year’s celebrations. One reposted image set, shared by someone believed to be a fan, appeared to reference his past relationship while expressing visible frustration, suggesting emotional distress over the repeated rumors surrounding the idol.
Another netizen claimed they personally encountered Minseo while celebrating the New Year. According to the post, the idol was seen with a woman described as his girlfriend, and the two reportedly appeared affectionate and comfortable together. The poster alleged that Minseo denied his identity multiple times when asked, but later wore the woman’s hat and posted a photo on Instagram, which some interpreted as subtle confirmation of the encounter.
While none of the claims have been officially confirmed, the situation has sparked renewed debate online about idol privacy, dating expectations, and the scrutiny placed on active K-pop artists. Fans remain divided, with some expressing disappointment and others urging respect for Minseo’s personal life.
DRIPPIN last made a group comeback in 2024, and although promotions have slowed, the members continue to stay connected with fans through social media. As of now, neither Kim Minseo nor his agency has addressed the latest dating rumors, leaving the public to speculate as the New Year begins.
