TWICE member Tzuyu has become the center of bizarre and unexpected dating rumors — and this time, the person she’s being linked to isn’t even an idol, but the handsome brother of a fourth-generation star.
The discussion began circulating online after an OP claimed that Tzuyu might be “dating” ATEEZ Hongjoong’s younger brother, Bum Joong, sparking confusion across several communities.
Bum Joong recently gained buzz after being introduced to fans through Hongjoong’s Instagram, where his visuals quickly captured attention. His charm only grew stronger after appearing on a variety show with his brother, earning comments about his potential as an actor.
Yet it was a series of coincidences that led to the sudden dating rumors. A trending tweet pointed out:
- A photo of Tzuyu and Bum Joong taken earlier this year at TWICE’s concert
- Mutual likes on posts
- Tzuyu using music related to ATEEZ online
- Claims that Bum Joong took photos with Tzuyu’s dog
These connections were enough for some online users to jump to conclusions — though many agreed the speculation was far-fetched.
Netizens reacted with mixed feelings, from laughter to pure confusion. Some joked about the randomness of the pairing, while others insisted that they were likely just acquaintances. Several fans even took the opportunity to highlight Bum Joong’s acting projects and rising presence in the industry.
Overall, the rumor left K-pop fans amused more than anything else — truly one of the most unexpected “dating scandals” of the year.
