Lee Sang-yoon, a standout contestant on Heart Pairing, sparked controversy on May 21 after being accused of “lovestagram” — allegedly hinting at an off-show relationship during filming. Though he quickly denied the claims and issued a legal warning, fans remain divided over his sincerity.

• If you have a girlfriend, then don’t show up.
• Anyway, doesn’t he already get little response?
• His facial features aren’t very appealing. Hope Ji-min and Je-yeon do well ㅠㅠ
• Please clarify the photo situation first. There are too many similarities and overlapping details for it to be a coincidence.
• But isn’t the main focus of Heart Pairing on Ji-min and Je-yeon?

Heart Pairing’s 10th episode aired on May 16, featured the “second contract dating” phase, intensifying Lee Sang-yoon and Je-yeon’s love storyline.
