However, the online community didn't seem quite convinced. Many claimed that the agency was deliberately making things up because Woo Seok is gaining popularity these days, and they obviously don't want to attract any negative backlash. "I feel like they're just denying it because he's getting big right now...", "I thought it was a joke at first but... the evidence says otherwise?", a K-netizen pointed out, followed by a few more similar comments. “They are def dating, it always turns out as a scandal later.” "This is the most believable 'Lovestagram' I've seen in a while", chimed one more.
