ATEEZ’s San Personally Addresses Viral Dating Rumor With Mystery Woman

Days after a video showing ATEEZ’s San out with a woman went viral, the star has personally addressed the dating rumors surrounding him.

Earlier this week, while San was in Italy for a Milan Fashion Week appearance with Dolce & Gabbana, a fan-taken video made waves across social media. In the clip, San was seen walking with a woman, leading some to believe his secret “relationship” had been exposed.

Now, San has broken his silence on the fan-artist communication platform Fromm. The idol admitted he is “taken aback” by how people keep tracking him down, adding that anything beyond a chance meeting is “a little uncomfortable.”

But I don’t know how they find out. Every time I go, people follow me… I’m taken aback. Running into people by chance is totally fine, but if it’s not that, it’s a little uncomfortable LMAO.

San went on to reveal that he hasn’t wanted to bring it up at all because he thought fans might worry, but added that ATEEZ’s agency, KQ Entertainment, had contacted him too.

I didn’t want to mention it because I thought you all might worry. First of all, the company contacted me too, but it’s not [true]. So don’t worry, and enjoy a delicious meal LMAO.

I guess I need to explain what I’m talking about. There’s a dating rumor going around, but it’s not true

— San

Turning to fans who film such videos, San didn’t hold back. “Secretly taking photos is wrong,” he wrote, urging, “Let’s not commit crimes, before you get caught.”

Secretly taking photos is wrong too. Let’s not commit crimes, before you get caught. And I’m okay, but the people who are connected to me would have a really hard time, so that shouldn’t happen.

— San

Likewise, fans across social media have slammed those who followed San and took videos of him, rejecting their claims that they ran into him by chance.

you guys’ “i met with san by accident” videos made the company contact with him and tell him to clear the rumors that you created. when it was obvious that HE WAS WITH STAFF.. but sure go ahead and damage his career when you know how internet will react to it.. u dont deserve him
