ALLDAY PROJECT‘s Youngseo and Woochan have become the center of intense online debate after a recent Instagram Live. A short interaction between the two quickly spiraled into dating rumors, fan debates, and viral posts across multiple platforms.

Youngseo and Woochan went live on Instagram with fellow member Annie, but it was the duo’s interactions that stood out. In one widely shared moment, Woochan leaned in close over Youngseo to adjust something on the screen.

The brief interaction spread quickly, first on Pann — where one post surpassed 51,000 views — and then on X (formerly Twitter), where a clip of the moment has been watched more than 3.4 million times.

One X post sparked the most discussion, suggesting that their closeness was beyond casual.
Damn, they were practically in each other’s arms… If that’s not a couple, then what is…

The comment ignited a debate among international fans, many of whom felt Korean fans were overreacting to the pair’s behavior. Others criticized the double standards they see in K-Pop fandoms when it comes to male-female group dynamics.
it’s so funny to me how if it’s a mixed gender group kfans are fine with shipping them but if they were from two different groups kfans would be sending trucks to their companies 😭 https://t.co/Q7722T92wi

kpop fans are so deprived of opposite gender interactions (their own fault btw) they start acting like a victorian man seeing ankles when it’s a coed group lmao https://t.co/dS7qprZE4s

Youngseo and Woochan aren’t the only members who have been embroiled in dating rumors because of their interactions. Bailey and Tarzzan have also sparked similar rumors in the past, thanks to their closeness.
The short clip may have lasted only seconds, but it’s already one of the group’s most talked-about moments as of late. With such debates already starting at the very beginning of ALLDAY PROJECT’s career, it remains to be seen if similar conversations will follow the members for longer.
