There are two people who can't enjoy their Christmas because of an issue that spreads about them. Those two people are Taeyeon and Ravi. They were involved in a dating rumor and their names quickly became the most searched keyword in searching engines.
The topic of this article is very simple. No matter what scenario that happens, this is not a problem and the two of them did nothing wrong.
When a dating rumor surfaces, there are three scenarios that might happen. First, the couple who confirms the rumor because they're actually in relationship. Second, the couple who denies the rumor even though they're actually in relationship. Third, the couple who denies the rumor because they're not in relationship.
When a couple of artists deny a dating rumor, there would be some people who point finger and say, 'You guys are actually dating!!'. What happens to Taeyeon and Ravi is one of those cases. It's very hard to understand what those accusations mean.
Hiding a relationship is something that a lot of people do, not only celebrities. The reason may vary, but most of the time it's because they don't want to risk themselves by going public with their relationship. This reason is very understandable.
When a couple is at risk on being exposed, they might lie a little bit and use some techniques to avoid being exposed. We can't quickly judge them for being problematic just because they lie about that, this has nothing to do with morals.
Even if celebrities lie about their relationship, it will not affect the economy, society, laws, and moral values. Why? Because it's their privacy
However, this article wasn't written to say that Taeyeon and Ravi are denying the rumor despite being in an actual relationship. This article was written to say that even if they're actually dating, it's not a big problem.
This article was also written for people who argue, 'Why are they lying if they're actually dating?'. It's because they don't need to reveal the relationship that they want to keep private and not be talked about.
Let's think if this happens to a non-celebrity. A and B are work colleagues and they're in a relationship. They don't have any thoughts to reveal their relationship, at least not until their wedding.
However, an acquaintance who they're not even close to, C, suddenly go into an investigation mode. C finds out their relationship and reveal it to the other acquaintances.
You can learn a lot from this whole situation. Not only from the words that are said, but also from physical gestures that are done. Obviously, this situation harms the relationship between them. If you look closely, can you see who's the problematic one here? Is it A, B, or C?
You might think, 'Non-celebrities are not like celebrities', or 'They're celebrities. They should be able to handle such issues', as seen in a lot of comments left by netizens on the Internet. Just think about how much harm those mindsets cause the involved figures, it shouldn't be that hard.
Through this article, I would like to say how sorry I am to the two artists and their fans who are stressed because of this issue and are unable to spend Christmas peacefully. Also to the companies staffs who are unable to rest in order to handle these issues.

Reporters are writing articles judging about that one specific reporter...
-Took them long enough to release this. Why are people worshipping Dispatch but hating the idols??
-Both of the artists are grown up, their companies should've just confirmed instead of denying it. They're being harmed for no reasons.
-Why are you so curious about who dating who...? I mean, it's not like their friends... Even if they were your friends, it's rude.
-If both sides already denied the rumor, you should stop digging more. When I saw those pictures and videos surfaced online, I seriously thought this reporter must be out of her mind. To think that they're invading celebrities' privacies just for views and clicks, it makes me realize how tough it must be to a celebrity.
-We shouldn't be addressing people who reveal someone else's privacies as 'reporters'.
-Non-celebrities hide their relationships too. Celebrities are free to choose whether if they want to reveal their relationships or not as well. Why are people making such a big deal out of it?
-But I still don't like it when celebrities deny the rumor when they actually are in relationships;;
-Just imagine how great our society must've been if we already have this mindset since a long time ago...
-Even I feel uncomfortable seeing those pictures of them surfacing online...
-I hope her name and face are exposed wildly so that her kids in the future will know that their mom used to be a criminal
