This year, Dispatch did not reveal a New Year’s couple due to the national mourning period in South Korea. Before that, several popular on-screen couples such as Kim Soo Hyun and Kim Ji Won, Byeon Woo Seok and Kim Hye Yoon, and Yoo Yeon Seok and Chae Soo Bin were speculated by netizens to be the January 1st couple of Dispatch.

To this day, many famous idols have unexpectedly revealed “hints” of dating in the early days of the year. K-netizens believe they may have caught Dispatch’s attention but managed to “escape” exposure this year.

RIIZE’s Wonbin – aespa’s Giselle

Rumors about Giselle and Wonbin dating started circulating in July 2024. These two SM Entertainment idols were spotted wearing matching rings. Additionally, “Kbiz’s nightmare,” Han Seo Hee, hinted that Giselle and Wonbin had been dating since their trainee days. At that time, not many believed it because Han Seo Hee was notorious for lying, and the rings were a common style.

However, recently, netizens have noticed that the way these two idols talk is becoming increasingly similar. Both use the word “algejji” instead of “algetji” and end their sentences with “ung.” Giselle’s Bubble profile picture is a black cat, a symbol of Wonbin. Although these clues are not conclusive, they have sparked much discussion among K-netizens.

WayV’s Hendery – (G)I-DLE’s Shuhua

Previously on January 1, various videos and photos showing (G)I-DLE’s Shuhua and WayV’s Hendery sitting together in a restaurant emerged on the Chinese SNS platform Weibo. Via these pieces of footage, the two idols could be seen dining together alongside four other people.

While the images and videos do not showcase anything about Shuhua and Hendery’s relationship aside the fact  that they are acquainted, Chinese netizens speculated about a romance, leading to dating rumors of the two being spread.

So far, SM Entertainment nor Cube Entertainment haven’t addressed the rumors, but a sasaeng fan’s claim seems to have effectively shut them down. 

In particular, a netizen shared on Weibo that they contacted a sasaeng fan to learn about the truth of Shuhua and Hendery’s relationship, and according to this alleged sasaeng fan, the two idols were dining separately, but Hendery’s male manager knew the female dancers that accompanied Shuhua. As a result, they shared the same table.

Normally, sasaeng fans are criticized for invading idols’ privacy, but in this case, the sasaeng fan clarified the dating rumor instead of the agencies, which made netizens feel both amused and baffled.
