Super Junior’s Eunhyuk and SeeYa’s Lee Bo-ram appeared on the YouTube channel "Donghae and Eunhyuk" to debunk a two-decade-old dating rumor. The stars expressed exhaustion over the persistent speculation, which was so convincing that former SeeYa member Nam Gyu-ri admitted she believed they had secretly dated and broken up.
Key Facts
- The rumor originated at the 2007 Dream Concert when Eunhyuk playfully tapped Lee Bo-ram’s head while walking past her on stage.
- Lee Bo-ram revealed that her agency questioned her the day after the 2007 incident following reporter inquiries; articles were published despite her denial.
- After reviewing the footage, Donghae noted that Lee Bo-ram looked "annoyed" and the gesture appeared to be a casual "I'm leaving" signal rather than a romantic one.
- Eunhyuk argued that if they were actually in a relationship, they would have avoided public physical contact at a major music event.
- Both were members of a 1986-line celebrity social group called "Ashtray" (Jaeddeori), which included SeeYa’s Kim Yeon-ji and others who socialized at playgrounds and had water gun fights.
- Eunhyuk noted the irony that paparazzi never photographed their group gatherings, yet the dating rumors persisted for twenty years.
Key Terms
- Dream Concert: One of the largest annual K-pop joint concerts in South Korea.
- 86-line: A social circle of idols or celebrities born in 1986.
