On October 8, several videos were leaked allegedly showing Tomorrow X Together member Huening Kai with his girlfriend outside a bar on a night date. One of these videos showed the pair waiting for a taxi. The question that followed these leaks is: who is Huening Kai’s girlfriend?
Since the videos were leaked, fans have been scrutinizing the details. They noticed that the girl appearing with Huening Kai resembles Chanel from FIFTY FIFTY. They also pointed out shared items between the girl in the video and the idol, such as the shirt and handbag, which further fueled suspicions about the identity of Huening Kai’s girlfriend.
An internet user analyzed the videos and wrote:
“The person said to be with Huening Kai is carrying the same bag too. #HueningKai #FIFTYFIFTY #Chanel”
They added:
“Huening Kai is 183 cm tall, Chanel is 168 cm. In the photo below, Chanel is wearing high heels, so the height difference in reality is bigger. #TXT #HueningKai”
Netizens criticized the poster for the inaccurate speculations and accused them of trying to exploit the idols’ personal lives for profit, saying:
- “It’s not her, delete your tweets. Her hair is light brown and the shirt isn’t even the same.”
- “Wasn’t it Lino? I don’t know if you’re doing this for engagement or not, but don’t tweet hastily If the bag isn’t unique in the world, it’s normal for someone else to have it.”
- “This person also heavily interferes in rumors about RINU and others to gain engagement, so don’t believe them and report it.”
- “If this is false, someone knowledgeable should add a Community Note so they can’t profit from this post.”
- “Every day it gets worse, oh my god.”
- “I think people who keep talking about dating must have a really messed-up private life.”
On the other hand, some mocked the rumors and expressed curiosity about Huening Kai’s girlfriend’s identity:
- “Dating rumor between Chanel and Kai? I never expected this”
- “Huh? Isn’t she the girl who appeared on ‘R U Next?’ So she’s a former HYBE trainee, right?”
- “Well, idols are human after all. Let them date whoever they want. Still, they look cute together <3”
- “I’m not trying to assume Chanel’s preferences, but I’m sure she’s the woman who attracts women the most.”
- “Chanel was one of Huening Kai’s (Ningdongji) biggest fans before she became a trainee, and now she’s dating him.”
