Looks like Cube Entertainment has diffused a new bomb before it could blow up. BTOB’s Sungjae was suddenly embroiled in a dating rumor as of April 18 when various online communities posted about the Cube Entertainment singer being in a relationship with a commoner. It was revealed that Sungjae was seeing an Instagram influencer and TikTok star anonymously called ‘S’ and that the two had bonded over their love for golf.

The rumors also suggested that S was initially only an acquaintance of BTOB’s Peniel and it was he who introduced Sungjae to the influencer. Eagle-eyed fans went to the extent of scrutinizing every post made by S and it was also pointed out that in one of her Instagram stories, S posted a video while playing golf and the male voice heard in the background was none other than Sungjae’s. It was also pointed out that Sungjae and S both used matching phone cases like many couples did which fuelled more fire to the rumors.
