John Park's interview with Ilgan Sports from about 2 weeks ago also seems to prove that the singer is indeed single. During the talk, John Park said about his love life, "I think I'm lonely but I don't want to date. I don't know what kind of theory this is but that's just how I feel. When you date, you have to focus only on dating, but I have to work on music and it'll be too much doing both." And John Park clearly stated, "Currently, I don't have a girlfriend."

Well, the dating rumors were just rumors after all.
