ATEEZ’s San has directly addressed the recent dating rumors that surfaced after photos of him in Milan spread online.
A preview for the upcoming episode of the web variety show *Salon Drip* was released on October 6, featuring San and fellow ATEEZ member Wooyoung as guests.
During the preview, San mentioned that he had just returned from Milan. Host Jang Do Yeon then brought up recent headlines about him personally responding to dating rumors connected to his trip.
San reacted calmly and joked, *“I guess that’s what happens when you succeed.”*
Wooyoung quickly teased him, saying, *“Now he goes outside asking people, ‘Don’t you know me?’”*
San laughed off the joke and replied, *“Even when Wooyoung makes fun of me like this, I don’t feel offended,”* showing their familiar and playful friendship.
The rumors began after photos and videos showing San walking with a woman in Milan circulated online. KQ Entertainment later clarified that the woman was a representative connected to a local brand and that they were moving together to purchase items needed for San’s schedule.
According to the agency, San was also accompanied by his manager and local security personnel at the time.
San separately addressed the speculation through a fan communication platform and denied that he was dating the woman.
The full episode of *Salon Drip* featuring San and Wooyoung is scheduled to be released at a later date.
