LE SSERAFIM’s Hong Eunchae has unexpectedly become the centre of online discussion after fresh dating rumours linked her to actor Moon Sang-Min. What began as casual social media chatter has now evolved
into a wider debate about idol friendships, public interactions, and how quickly assumptions can take over online spaces. The claims, while unverified, have divided netizens, some think the pair share unusually warm chemistry, while others argue the speculation is baseless and rooted in over analysis.
Is Eunchae dating Moon Sang-Min
The rumours resurfaced after old clips and photos of Eunchae and Moon Sang-Min, taken during their time as co-MCs on KBS’
Music Bank, began circulating again. The two hosted the show together for a long time, often praised for their comfortable rapport and natural on-screen synergy. Compilations highlighting their playful exchanges, supportive gestures, and friendly banter have now been reinterpreted through a romantic lens.Adding fuel to the discussion, fans spotted Moon Sang-Min attending LE SSERAFIM’s concert earlier this year. Although celebrity attendance at concerts is common, some online users viewed it as potential evidence of a deeper relationship. A viral Korean forum post claimed the duo’s level of closeness and friendliness was surprising, leading the poster to wonder whether something was going on beyond broadcast duties.
Netizens divided on dating rumours
Netizens, however, appear far from unified. Supportive comments on the post about them dating include, “Idols dating must be so exciting.” Others pushed back, reasoning, “If they were actually dating, they wouldn’t act like that openly.” One user was shocked by the tone of the conversation, saying, “I came here expecting people to be unfairly criticizing, but what’s with all that physical affection?” Meanwhile, some urged restraint, adding, “They do look good together, but does being close automatically mean they’re dating?”As of now, neither HYBE nor Moon Sang-Min’s agency has addressed the rumours, an expected silence given the lack of concrete evidence. Many fans say that both are young professionals in a demanding industry, and assumptions about their personal lives can be intrusive.
