EXO's Lay has found himself in the spotlight as rumors circulate about him being spotted at a hotel with popular Chinese actress Zhao Lusi.

Reports from Chinese media on February 1 revealed that paparazzi caught Lay and Zhao Lusi's cars at a hotel. Allegedly, they were seen leaving the hotel only 10 minutes apart, fueling speculations of a romantic connection.

Lay's agency swiftly dismissed the rumors, stating, "The dating speculation is just a rumor. Lay is focused on his promotions, and he has no plans to date."

Despite the denial, netizens on China's social media platform Weibo are buzzing about the dating rumors, making it a trending topic. Notably, the two celebrities have never collaborated on any projects.

Lay, who debuted with EXO in 2012 and remains a member even after leaving SM Entertainment in 2022, and Zhao Lusi, who gained fame since her 2016 debut, are both well-known figures.

Zhao Lusi has starred in popular Chinese dramas such as 'Who Rules the World,' 'The Long Ballad,' and 'Love Like the Galaxy.'

Netizens had various reactions:

"Zhao Lusi is so popular in China right now. Lay is lucky if they're dating!"

"If Lay is dating, it's good news. He's been in the industry for so long without any relationship news."

"It's surprising to see a top actress like Zhao Lusi in a dating rumor. I hope it's not true, but I'll support her either way."

"Why would she choose to date a Korean idol when there are plenty of good-looking Chinese celebrities?"

"It's not unusual for people to stay in the same hotel as celebs for work. I've probably 'dated' a few celebs myself without knowing!"

"Choosing to date a Korean celebrity among numerous good-looking Chinese celebrities shows a bad taste in men."

Some netizens also expressed skepticism:

"I never thought Zhao Lusi's name would be mentioned in a dating scandal. I hope it's not true, but even if it is, I'll still support her acting."

"Celebrity encounters in the same hotel might just be coincidences due to work commitments in the same area."

Former AOA member Kwon Mina has shared a deeply emotional and heartbreaking update with her fans.

On January 20, Kwon Mina took to Instagram to reveal some difficult news. "I have some upsetting and heartbreaking news to share", she wrote, explaining that her dog, Mochi, had been diagnosed with malignant cancer.

She shared that a lump had been growing on her dog’s leg for years, and despite undergoing several surgeries, it kept coming back. Sadly, the latest diagnosis confirmed it was cancerous.

Kwon Mina’s post continued, "The pain is expected to get worse, and the doctor told me to prepare myself to say goodbye to Mochi, as she will suffer a lot."

She added, "Today, I can’t stop crying, and my heart feels like it’s breaking. I’m looking into options like anesthesia, euthanasia, and funeral arrangements so that she can pass without pain."

She reached out to her followers for advice, asking, "If anyone knows a better solution, please let me know."

Kwon Mina debuted in 2012 as a member of the popular girl group AOA. The group achieved great success with hits like "Heart Attack," "Bingle Bangle," "Like a Cat," and "Miniskirt".

However, in 2020, Kwon Mina opened up about being bullied by her AOA members, leading to the group’s eventual disbandment.

In a more positive update, Kwon Mina also announced on January 15 that she has started a new chapter in her career.

She will be working as a consultant at a dermatology clinic near Sicheong Station, which is set to open in March, signaling her fresh start after a difficult year.

Fans have rallied around Kwon Mina with messages of support as she navigates this emotional time.
