Earlier this year, it was announced that Winwin would be leaving SM Entertainment and NCT.

Since then, the idol has focused on his career in China, where he is active as both a singer and an actor. The idol is currently appearing in the series Sunshine Through the Rain, a romantic rival-to-lovers drama alongside idol-actress Yang Chaoyue.
Driven by financial struggles, headstrong biology student Zheng Yu relies on scholarships and juggles multiple part-time jobs to pay off family debts and her hospitalized mother’s medical bills. Her plans are upended when she clashes with her academic rival Chen Yan Zhou, a lonely student returning to school after the death of his older brother. Going from campus rivals to partners, the two gradually heal each other’s wounds and become a light in each other’s lives, facing life’s storms together.

Recently, fans noticed that the two stars shared similar posts on Instagram, each making a heart with wired headphones.


Though each appeared to be posting in character, some reacted with the thought that they might actually be dating (some more negatively than others).

- The way they’re making it obvious they’re dating is INSANE LOL.
- These f*cking idiots LOL. They need to get f*cked over for once to learn not to pull shit like this. I feel so bad for the fans.
- F*ck, I think they’re actually dating.
On the other hand, many just enjoyed the content, reminding that some for some dramas, leads will continue promotions in this manner.
