Netizens Blame HYBE for Dating Rumor of NewJeans’s Hanni & RIIZE’s Anton

Recently, a netizen claimed on the Korean forum Pann Nate that NewJeans‘ Hanni and RIIZE‘s Anton were dating, drawing massive attention. 

However, unlike other dating allegations, this netizen never provided any evidence, and instead simply stated that Hanni and Anton have too many things that overlap. 

As a result, most netizens scoff at this “dating rumor”, stating that the netizen was likely just instigating things to defame the two idols. Some even blamed HYBE for the rumor.

Below are some comments from netizens:

• Since they’re both popular, they ended up getting linked like this. What the heck…ㅋㅋㅋ I’m laughing.
• When I saw this rumor yesterday, it was really convincing. They covered the same English song, and did the same challenge around the same time, Anton followed Hanni’s adlib, and Hanni suddenly became obsessed with dinosaurs
• Who are the guys that are trying to take down both RIIZE and NewJeans? 
• NewJeans and RIIZE Fighting~ Don’t fall for the slander from HYBE
• This is why HYBE is going down the drain~ Because HYBE fans are doing all kinds of bad things
