NCT WISH’s Sion and Hearts2Hearts’ Jiwoo Spark Fresh Dating Rumours After Deleted Photo Surfaces Online

The K-pop dating rumors have once again surfaced, and the focus is on NCT WISH’s Sion and Jiwoo from Hearts2Hearts. Online discussions about the two young idols have been reignited by the circulation of a deleted photo and fans are split over its implications.

What Sparked the Latest Buzz?

On December 15, the Korean online community became active after a netizen hinted that Sion and Jiwoo had been together by posting a message. The post was reportedly to have said, “NCT WISH Oh Sion Hearts2Hearts Jiwoo,” and had accompanying photos which were interpreted by many as the proof of a possible date.

Quick though it was, the image deletion did not stop it from being shared across a number of sites. Fans said that the background looked like it was in Japan, perhaps near a Don Quixote store. The two were also wearing the same kind of hats, which aded to the guessing game — even though the hats covered most of their faces.

Fans React: Belief vs Skepticism

Social media, as predicted, was very quick to divide into two factions. Similarity was the main argument for one side while the other one questioned the truth of the allegations in great detail.

A netizen wrote,

“Where is Jiwoo in this? If Jiwoo was wearing those heels, then the guy next to her would have to be more than two metres tall.”

Another said,

“I’m not justifying him because I’m a fan, but Sion isn’t the type to wear pants like that. His fashion is off totally different from that.”

Several users also voiced their opinion by pointing out differences in the body type and the posture of the persons in question, suggesting that the people in the photo might not be the idols at all.

On X (formerly Twitter), a fan expressed concern for Jiwoo, writing,

“Didn’t Hearts2Hearts just debut? It hasn’t been long, and dating rumors have already started for her. It doesn’t add up.”

Not the First Time

Besides this, Sion and Jiwoo have not been linked before. Fans had earlier made a list of so-called “evidence” that included the same fashion and the timing of social media posts. It made the possibility of a relationship between the two fifth-generation idols more alive again.

But neither SM Entertainment nor the artists have denied or confirmed the rumors yet.

Final Take

With the lack of a clear confirmation and the surrounding skepticism regarding the photo, the latest dating rumors are still unproven. The incident, however, has once more pointed out how swiftly speculation spreads in the K-pop world — especially when it comes to idol newcomers.

Until there are official statements, fans have to take their pick of how to interpret the situation — curiosity, concern, or caution.
