Some people thought that Mingyu and Jeon Somi from SEVENTEEN were dating because they both wore the same sweater on their social media accounts. Netizens had mixed responses to the rumors, but fans stood up for the two idols.
Someone on the internet noticed that SEVENTEEN member Mingyu and singer SOMI’s Instagram posts looked a lot alike, which led to dating rumors. The rumors began when the singer of “Birthday” held a party for people to hear her new EP, “Game Plan.” Netizens are split on this story; some think it might be true, while others think it’s silly to guess about their relationship based on their Instagram.
Netizens react to SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu and SOMI’s Dating Rumors
On August 11, the Fast Forward singer shared some pictures from her listening party, which had a lot of K-pop stars there, such as RM from BTS, Woozi from SEVENTEEN, Nayeon and Jihyo from TWICE, Yugyeom and HyunA from GOT7, and more.
On July 29, Mingyu posted a picture of herself wearing a cardigan that looked a lot like the one in SOMI’s listening party photos, where someone is wearing her Game Plan record drawstring bag. Since only the cardigan and the bag can be seen, it is not clear who is wearing it. There were rumors that the two were dating after a post in an online community that showed how much the two cardigans looked alike.

Many netizens who saw this post said bad things about the friendship between the two idols. Some people said that even if the two stars were dating, they wouldn’t say it online because of the current debate about Joshua, another member of SEVENTEEN, allegedly dating someone else. Someone said, “Mingyu, Woozi, and The8 were at the party so it is obvious the photo is from there.” PLEDIS or THEBLACKLABEL hasn’t said anything about the rumors yet, and neither have the heroes.

Fans stood up for Mingyu and SOMI
Fans of the FML singers came together to support the idols, saying that they could just be friends and that there’s no way that all of their similar Instagram posts mean they’re dating. And some fans said there were a lot of stars at the party.
She also shared pictures with Nayeon and Chaeyoung TWICE, so this might just be one of the ones with her boyfriend. Fans have been asking that Joshua, another member of Mingyu’s group who was rumored to be dating a model, be kept safe. As netizens began to say mean things about Joshua, fans were afraid that Mingyu would also be the target of the date rumors.
