The Korean online communities continue to be abuzz over the recent dating rumors involving RIIZE member Anton. 

Dating rumors broke out when a photo of two individuals holding hands circulated online because the man in the photo resembled Anton and was holding the green Louis Vuitton bag he was often seen carrying. The photo triggered much debate online, with fans denying that the person in the photo is Anton, while many netizens claim it is.

Just a day ago, the woman in the photo 'A' responded to the rumors through her personal social media and clarified that she and Anton are just close friends. She claimed they had been close friends, and the photos in question were taken when they were with a group of friends and not alone. She also included other photos from that day to back up her claims.

Then, on March 13, another individual claiming to be 'A's older sister stepped up to confirm that Anton isn't dating her sister. The friend of A's older sister shared the following information.

Korean netizens responded, "The older sister of that girlfriend testified that they were just friends. get a grip and stop cursing. Stop digging through ordinary people's social media, have some conscience," "Now that people can't curse at him because of this dating issue, they're not slandering him for his private social media account," "People know they're just friends now. That's why they're going after his secret social media account," "I feel bad for his acquaintances," "I feel bad for Anton's friends. they're all ordinary people but because of crazy netizens they have to suffer," and "This is so frustrating."
