Are K-pop stars Kazuha and K dating? Here's the truth
The world of K-pop is abuzz with rumors of a potential romance between two top stars. Kazuha, a Japanese member of the girl group LE SSERAFIM, and K, from the Japanese boy band &TEAM, are reportedly dating according to media reports. The rumor mill started churning when Japanese media outlet Shukan Bunshun reported on Wednesday that Kazuha was seeing a "handsome idol" who is six years older and stands 186cm tall.
Identity of Kazuha's alleged beau revealed
The report shed light on the secretive romance that reportedly began in the summer of 2022. Though friends for a year, they officially began dating two years back and their relationship hit a speed bump in 2023 when colleagues discovered it, forcing them to keep things under wraps. However, their rendezvous finally came to light on March 17 when they were spotted at a fancy Ginza Yakiniku restaurant late at night. However, no photos surfaced.
Meanwhile, Kazuha's agency denied dating rumors
The lack of photos together has cast doubt on the story's authenticity. Adding fuel to the fire of skepticism is the timeline. Kazuha only arrived in Korea in 2022 to train with LE SSERAFIM, making it unclear how she could have known this idol beforehand. Despite these doubts, Kazuha's agency HYBE has officially denied the rumors, insisting their meal together was strictly platonic. Meanwhile, K's agency HYBE Japan has not confirmed or denied these dating rumors.
