Dancer Vata's side, who is currently dating actress Ji Yeeun, has denied the allegations of rebound dating.

On the 15th, Vata's agency, ARA Entertainment, released an official statement, saying, "We have refrained from responding as it is not even worth addressing. However, as there have been cases where false posts were reported without filtering, we clearly state that these claims are groundless."

They continued, "Vata has never dated anyone for six years. His most recent relationship and breakup was three years ago. If the spread of such absurd false information continues, we will take strong legal action at the agency level."

Previously, Vata publicly confirmed his relationship with Ji Yeeun on the 13th. The two had been church friends before developing into a couple.

Afterward, posts made by an anonymous user on an online community since last July gained attention. The user claimed that Vata had been in a six-year relationship and raised 'rebound dating' allegations.

Meanwhile, Vata is the leader of the dance crew 'We Dem Boyz.' The crew gained recognition after finishing as runner-up on Mnet's 'Street Man Fighter' in 2022. Vata gained popularity for creating the choreography for Zico's 'New Thing' during a mission. Recently, he also gained attention for directing the choreography of BLACKPINK Jennie's hit song 'Like JENNIE.'
