On July 17, a post titled 'RIIZE’s Anton Is Dating NewJeans’ Hanni' blew up online, racking up over 175K views on a popular forum. The juicy headline, however, came with zero receipts. No matching outfit photos, no sneaky paparazzi shots—just a lazy claim that the two idols have "too many things that overlap." Sounds fishy, right? The internet didn’t hold back. People were quick to call out the author for being a malicious troll. Many suspected this was yet another stunt by DC Inside users, an incel community with a vendetta against Min Hee Jin and NewJeans after their fallout with HYBE. NewJeans Is Global Brand Ambassador for Coca-Cola; Korean Girl Group Poses With Soft Drink Bottles and Cans For Photoshoot!.

Speculation is running wild about who started this rumour and why. Fans of NewJeans and RIIZE are understandably fed up, slamming the baseless gossip and calling for a more responsible approach to online chatter. The lack of evidence hasn’t stopped some from eagerly discussing the supposed romance, but most are just tired of the unnecessary drama.

This saga is a textbook example of how quickly fake news can spread online. It’s a reminder that fans all need to engage their brains before buying into the latest rumour mill spin. Are BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BIGBANG’s G-Dragon Reigniting Their Secret Romance? Get the Scoop Here!.

However, neither the agencies of NewJeans’ Hanni nor RIIZE’s Anton have commented on the matter. Despite the lack of official statements, fans remain displeased with the unnecessary allegation of romance that appears to be unfounded. This highlights a growing sentiment among fans for more respectful and evidence-based discourse surrounding their idols' personal lives.
