According to an exclusive report from The Fact, Lee Kang In and Naeun are currently in a relationship. The Fact received a tip-off that the two were dating in 2023 and were able to spot the two on dates.
Their dates mainly took place at either Naeun’s house and car or when she would visit the National Soccer Team’s dorms. She also spent time with Lee Kang In at the Korean National Team’s hotel on November 14 and 15 ahead of the team’s qualifying game for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification – AFC.
As the rumors went viral, Naeun stated that she and the football player were nothing more than friends.
Our relationship isn’t one of dating. I did get tickets from him for the match.

Despite the idol’s denial, further evidence pointing to the star’s relationship has refueled the rumors. On January 3, The Fact reported that a netizen has since claimed to have seen the pair in Bali.
What was more surprising than the beautiful sunset was that I met Lee Kang In, our national treasure! I am such a fan, and I was surprised to meet him in Southeast Asia!
He is very manly in person! I didn’t act like I knew him since he was with a beautiful woman and because he must have come all the way here to rest privately.
— Netizen
The netizen’s anecdote has reportedly been seen over 900k times. The report then states that the online post may have prompted Naeun to delete several photos of herself vacationing.
Other online posts have since offered more alleged evidences, including a viral post that claimed Lee Kang In was wearing a couple ring and that both Lee Kang In and Naeun took photos at the same photobooth.
