Leo has shared many photos via the XODIAC members’ shared X account. They are often “boyfriend” style, appearing that he was on dates as they are often taken from someone else’s POV.

@BBOSONGEEEEE shared many of these photos side-by-side with other similar photos posted by an Instagram account suspected to be a girlfriend. Based on the woman’s Instagram, she and Leo were allegedly at the same locations. Some uploads even look like “lovestagrams.”

Many fans have defended Leo and the woman in question, claiming she’s a “noona” or close friend of another member, believed to be Zayyan. Leo and Zayyan are tight as they make up 2/3 of the foreign line of XODIAC. They are from Hong Kong and Indonesia, respectively. According to fans, Zayyan allegedly introduced Leo to his close friend and hung out as a friend group.
Hello, I just want to explain to you that the woman you call Leo’s girlfriend is Zayyan’s close friend And I make sure they don’t have any relationship except close friends. Btw, don’t you have any other news that is more important and valid than this?? Don’t spread rumors, okay? https://t.co/ALM5najOAe
