ATEEZ‘s San and Wooyoung have directly addressed the dating rumors that have followed their close friendship.
The two members recently launched a joint YouTube channel, where they discussed ideas for future content and planned activities they could film together.
During their brainstorming session, Wooyoung suggested getting another friendship tattoo and filming the entire process, even mentioning getting permission from both of their parents.
However, San quickly pointed out how fans might interpret the idea differently.
Wooyoung: How about getting one more freidnship tattoo? Film everything. Like getting permission from both our parents.
San: Don’t talk rubbish. People will think we’re really dating.
He then used the moment to clear up the rumors.
Anyway, while I have the chance, let me just say this here. We’re not dating. We’re just really good friends… [PD asks them to move closer to each other] After talking about this, getting closer feels awkward. Can we move further again?
