It looks like Knetizens want NCT’s Haechan and Itzy’s Ryujin to date each other more than fans themselves. It has become an inside joke between the two fandoms as the two idols probably have the most number of dating rumors at the moment. It began back in May 2021 and once again has cropped up as Knetz pointed out that the two had pets with the same name.

On May 1, a netizen made a post that has gone viral on Korean chat forums. They shared that Ryujin and Haechan had named their pets with a similar theme. The Itzy star has two cats – Byul (star) and Dal (moon). Haechan had also shared that his dog was called Woojo (universe). By pointing out the astronomical theme, OP (original poster) shared that even if it was a coincidence, it was fate and they should date.

Ryujin and Haechan’s past dating rumors

This is not the first time that the NCT star has been linked with Ryujin. In May 2021, during VLive, Haechan accidentally exposed his screen and fans noticed that he was following only two channels – NCT and Itzy. Fans have linked him and Ryujin since that time, while Itzy used to tease her that she was paying more attention to her looks alluding that she must be seeing someone.



 

A couple of months later, in September, fans noticed that both Haechan and Ryujin cooked their noodles in a similar way. On top of that, both idols had ended up describing their dish as “an egg flower bloom.” Knetizens claimed that this was not a phrase Koreans used and so the two must have come up with it together. Then once again in January 2022, Knetz pointed out that both idols used a certain phrase for "sweet dreams" while wishing fans goodnight which had them stating that there were too many similarities between the NCT star and Itzy star for it all to be a coincidence.

'About to name my pet Moon'

However, fans are tired of the dating rumors and have taken to making fun of the netizens linking Haechan and Ryujin. One user tweeted, “I don't think idols have ever had the same dating rumour re-circulate this many times, this frequently, ever. It's literally having as many comebacks as TWICE like what-.” Another joked, “This is ridiculous but, somehow, they look fine together.” A fan pointed out, “Ateez San has the same exact cat and was also named Byul so Ryujin is a cheater.”

One said, “Atp theyr're going to manifest their relationship into a reality.” One fan said, “Haechan doesn't have a dog named Universe. His mom has a dog named Universe. Therefore Haechan's mom is dating Ryujin.” Another added, “Knetz trying to explain how heachan and ryujin breathing in the same geographic location means they are together married with 8 kids and have been soulmates since birth.” One fan added, "About to name my pets moon so people think i’m dating ryujin."
