Hilariously, netizens started bringing up dating “rumors,” because in Korea and the K-Pop industry, it isn’t unheard of for idols to be alleged to be in a relationship due to similarities in their profile pictures. Many even added, “It only means one thing in Korea,” alluding to this stereotype and making jokes about it regarding Jisoo and Zayn.
