RIIZE fans, hold your horses! The internet is abuzz with speculation surrounding RIIZE member Anton‘s relationship status after a photo showing him holding hands with a mystery woman surfaced online.

The photo, which quickly went viral, sparked rumors that Anton might be off the market. Fans were quick to point out the resemblance between the man in the photo and Anton, with the green Louis Vuitton bag he’s sporting further fueling the dating fire. This particular bag is known to be a favorite of Anton’s, often seen in his public appearances.

However, the plot thickens! The woman in the photo, believed to be Anton’s alleged girlfriend, has taken to social media to address the rumors. Identified only as ‘A,’ she took to Instagram to clarify her relationship with the idol star.

In her post, ‘A’ confirmed that it was indeed her holding hands with Anton in the photo. But hold on, there’s a twist! She emphasized that despite the hand-holding, they are strictly platonic. ‘A’ explained that they are actually close friends, and the photo in question was taken during a casual outing with a group of friends.

According to ‘A,’ the photo was simply a nostalgic post meant to reminisce about a fun day out. She expressed her surprise at how quickly it spiraled into dating rumors.

SM Entertainment, the agency representing RIIZE, has yet to comment on the situation.

This isn’t the first time K-Pop idols have found themselves entangled in dating rumors sparked by seemingly innocent social media posts. The intense scrutiny surrounding their personal lives often leads to fan speculation and media frenzy.

While fans are understandably curious about the love lives of their favorite stars, it’s important to remember that idols are also human beings who deserve privacy. Until and unless they choose to share their relationship status publicly, ‘A’s statement should be respected.

In the meantime, RIIZE fans can focus on supporting the group and their upcoming activities. Perhaps they’ll be dropping new music soon, or maybe they’ll be gracing the stage at a major music event. Only time will tell!
