Meanwhile, singer Soyou previously revealed the situation surrounding an unexpected dating rumor with Lim Young-woong on the YouTube channel 'Okiki ㅇㅋㅋ'. Soyou explained that after greeting Lim Young-woong at the airport, they coincidentally visited the same barbecue restaurant on the same day, which led to misunderstandings due to a social media post by the owner. Although many articles were published at the time, Soyou confessed that she couldn't explain because she felt it wouldn't be appropriate to mention Lim Young-woong's name. She added that Lim Young-woong's side later directly explained the situation, concluding it as a mere happening.
