ENHYPEN's Jungwon has finally addressed the rumors about his alleged relationship with aespa's Winter and also cleared up speculation about whether he smokes.

On December 11, rumors started circulating online, claiming that Jungwon and Winter were seen on a late-night date, with their faces covered by hats and masks. An online user, known as A, shared the story and photos, even claiming that Winter took a taxi and Jungwon followed her. The rumor quickly gained attention across social media.

However, after the post went viral, the user deleted it following backlash from fans. Both agencies involved quickly denied the rumors, with SM Entertainment, Winter’s agency, calling the dating rumors "false" and adding that the person behind the photos had tried to profit from spreading lies. They also vowed to take legal action against the spread of malicious rumors.

Jungwon’s agency, BELIFT LAB, also released a statement, stating that the dating rumors were untrue and that they would take legal action against anyone invading the privacy of their artists.

The following day, Jungwon went live on a fan platform to reassure his fans, clearly shutting down the rumors. He said, "Someone commented asking if I’m dating, but I’m not dating. They also asked if I smoke, but I don’t smoke. I don’t know how they’re going to handle this, but I’m not dating, and I don’t smoke. It’s ridiculous."

Jungwon’s strong words put the dating rumors to rest, and fans are relieved to hear his side of the story.

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.
