The two of them had spent time together in USA as JYP Entertainment trainees since they were young before they debuted. They were close friends as they'd spent so much time together, and now they're reported to be dating each other.

The insider said, "When they were in Korea, before they debuted, they relied on each other. They had the same hardships going back and forth from Korea to USA, and thought of each other as mentors. They also connect in terms of music. They're a JYP couple that matches each other well."

Their label JYP Entertainment confirmed the relationship, saying, "The two of them have relied on each other while they were preparing to debut in USA. They recently realized their feeling for each other. They stayed close even when they came back to Korea. Please look favorably on them."
