ATEEZ's San and Wooyoung Finally Address Long-Running Dating Rumors

ATEEZ members San and Wooyoung have finally responded to the dating rumors that have followed their close friendship for years. During a video on their newly launched joint YouTube channel, the pair made it clear that they are not in a romantic relationship, putting the long-running speculation to rest with humor.

The lighthearted moment happened while the two idols were planning ideas for future videos. As they brainstormed content, Wooyoung suggested filming themselves getting another friendship tattoo.

He even joked that they should record the process from beginning to end, including asking both of their parents for permission. San immediately laughed at the idea and pointed out how fans might react.

According to AllKPop, he told Wooyoung, "Don't talk rubbish. People will think we're really dating." The playful exchange quickly became one of the video's most talked-about moments.

Taking the opportunity to address the rumors directly, San looked at the camera and said, "Anyway, while I have the chance, let me just say this here. We're not dating. We're just really good friends."

Moments later, a producer jokingly asked the pair to sit closer together. Laughing at the timing, San replied, "After talking about this, getting closer feels awkward. Can we move further again?"

San and Wooyoung Confirm They're Just Friends

The candid conversation quickly spread across social media, with many fans enjoying how naturally the two idols handled the situation. Instead of making a serious announcement, San and Wooyoung chose to clear up the rumors with the same playful chemistry that has made their friendship so popular among fans. The dating speculation has continued for years because of the pair's close bond.

San and Wooyoung have often spoken about supporting each other, shared many affectionate moments on and off stage, and even described each other as soulmates. They also have matching friendship tattoos that read "Amicus ad aras," a Latin phrase that means "a friend to the end" or "until death," Times Now reported.

Those gestures led some fans to wonder if their relationship was more than friendship. With their latest comments, however, the duo left little room for misunderstanding. Their message was simple: they are close friends who enjoy spending time together, not a couple.

San and Wooyoung's honest response has been praised by many fans, who appreciated that the idols addressed the rumors themselves instead of letting speculation continue.
