On July 17, there was a widespread claim on various online platforms alleging that Hanni from NewJeans and Anton from RIIZE were in a romantic relationship, causing a lot of emotions among viewers.
The unsubstantiated post, which claimed that “RIIZE’s Anton Is Dating NewJeans’ Hanni,”quickly gained popularity, receiving over 175,000 views in just a few hours after being posted on a well-known online forum.
Despite the popularity of the viral post, the author failed to provide any substantial evidence to back up their claim.
However, the accusation was based on ambiguous declarations regarding shared interests and actions between the two celebrities.
Come here and comment. The two have too many things that overlap.

Although there was no concrete evidence or the usual photographic proof that is often linked with such rumors, the post still garnered considerable attention and triggered a heated discussion among internet users.
This absence of proof should lead us to be cautious and doubtful when considering such assertions.
The post’s rapid spread led to immediate backlash, as numerous people publicly denounced the author for what they saw as unfounded rumors and spiteful motives.
The criticism brought to light worries regarding the spread of baseless rumors in online communities, particularly aimed at idols who are already under intense scrutiny from both their fans and the general public.
- “When I look at RIIZE, it feels like Wonbin and Anton are targeted by gallery trolls… It’s pitiful… Seems like the gallery trolls are also marking their territory here, gathering to spread fake news “
- “Who do these bastards think they are, trying to criticize both RIIZE and NewJeans? LOL, let’s just ignore them.”
Additionally, doubts arose regarding the source of the assertion, as certain users linked it to DC Inside, a well-known internet forum recognized for its contentious and frequently conjectural material.
DC Inside has a history of being involved in similar incidents that target individuals and groups in the entertainment industry, such as NewJeans, following their dispute with HYBE.
- “Seriously, they didn’t even post about overlapping sponsorships or anything common like that, yet this random post with just random words is getting so many likes? It’s obvious it’s all manipulated, yuck.”
- “Who’s next, Wonbin, Seongchan, now Anton?? I’m sick of it, seriously. Stop ruining other people’s promotions.”
- “You have to at least provide some evidence to support your claims, why are they just blindly agreeing with this?”
- “I saw them yesterday, and yeah, it seemed a bit intense, haha. They covered the same English songs, did similar challenges around the same time, and Anton mimicked Hanni’s ad-libs. Hanni suddenly liking dinosaurs too, hehe.”
Following the accusations, advocates for both Hanni and Anton stressed the significance of accurate journalism and conscientious conduct on the internet.
They encouraged other internet users to avoid sharing baseless allegations that could potentially damage the reputations of those implicated. This plea emphasizes the significant impact each person has in shaping the online narrative.
