Wonder Girls’ Sohee & 2AM’s Seulong Allegedly Dating, But I Hope Not

Sohee of the Wonder Girls and Seulong of 2AM are allegedly dating each other, at least according to an anonymous source of Dispatch, but I honestly hope they aren’t.

No, it has nothing to do with me liking either one of them or whatever dumb reason fans usually get mad about when idols date. Rather, it would just be hilarious if the media once again ran with a story without confirmation that later ended up being false.

Breaking news, K-Pop fans: the Wonder Girls‘ Sohee and 2AM‘s Seulong are dating!

As artists in the same company – JYP – the two idols had a chance to become close to each other, and for Sohee, who has a naturally shy personality, Seulong was one of the few friends she had, said an anonymous source to Dispatch, a Korean news outlet.

Okay, the article starts with a hard statement that they are dating. This requires confirmation.

However, Dispatch goes on to cite one anonymous source that basically says Sohee is a loner and Seulong is one of her only friends. Uh…okay? Confirmation please.

“Sohee is such a careful character,” said the anonymous person, who knew both members well. “Although she’s been a celebrity for a while, she can count the number of friends on one hand. She’s not the kind of person to easily reveal her feelings to anyone.”

From the pictures taken by Dispatch, the two idols can be seen together giving off a romantic vibe. The couple progressed greatly in their relationship especially after Sohee returned from her American activities, Dispatch said.

What?

You’re judging their relationship status based on pictures?

CONFIRMATION?!

Seulong was a ‘soulmate’ for Sohee, according to the source. “Although she’s part of the world’s best girl group, she’s still a young teenager,” the source revealed. “She went through a lot in the States. Seulong was Sohee’s only friend and oppa with whom she could freely talk about her problems.”

The article is five paragraphs in and there’s still yet to be a confirmation on their relationship status from anybody. I’m not even asking for one from an official representative, but just from the anonymous source they used to write this article for fucks sake.

Their meetings were coordinated in secrecy, and even their other close parties did not know about their clandestine meetings. Out of the four dates that Dispatch encountered, they were all held late at night and took place in their car.

On one date, held on January 8th when Sohee returned from Taiwan, Dispatch captured the pair snacking on rice noodles and exchanging presents.

They also met during Christmas, where they also exchanged presents and went on a Gangnam date in Seulong’s car.

WHERE IS THE CONFIRMATION?

Ugh.

Friends exchange gifts and friends go out to eat, that shit means nothing.

Surely the concluding paragraph will be confirmation of their story, right?

A representative for JYP took a cautious stance, acknowledging that Seulong was one of Sohee’s few close friends, but refused to discuss the matter further. “The company does not know about their artists’ own private lives. Especially for emotional problems, we do not get involved. It will be hard to confirm anything about any feelings other than just friends.”

Wrong.

This is terrible. Seriously.

Not once was there a clear confirmation from anybody about their relationship status. The fucking article ends with JYP Entertainment not confirming anything, and Dispatch’s own anonymous source never once clearly states that they are dating.

Dispatch seemingly took the words of their source, got a bunch of pictures of the two together doing regular people shit, and then somehow crafted that into an official confirmation that they are in a relationship. The way they phrased it, I expected an official statement from JYP Entertainment or either of their managers, but instead all we got was a bunch of poorly molded shit.

Overall, it’s just atrocious reporting. All of this could be true, but there’s so many holes in the way it has been covered that it gives little reason to believe. Even tabloids use anonymous sources that are at least willing to clearly confirm a rumor. In a nutshell, that’s why I hope this turns out to be false, because everything about this was pathetically done.
