A recent anonymous online post has stirred a storm among fans of TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Huening Kai after claims surfaced that he was seen leaving a bar with a woman. The post, which came from an X profile, quickly gained traction among K-pop fans.
According to the original post shared on a Korean online community, the user claimed Huening Kai was spotted at a place called the Orange Room, described as a bar with private drinking rooms. The post alleged that “after all the guests left, he called a car and rode off with a girl.” It attached a nearly two-minute clip as proof of their claims.
The clip, which appeared on X (formerly Twitter), shows the two individuals waiting for a car, hugging briefly before leaving together. The original poster claimed the man in the video could be identified as Huening Kai because of his distinctive phone case and sneakers, similar to ones he has been seen using before.
Fans who came across the post were divided in their opinions. Some commenters suggested that the woman could be a family member, possibly his older sister, Huening Kai has two well-known siblings in the entertainment industry — Lea, a former idol, and Bahiyyih of Kep1er.
However, others disagreed, saying the body language shown in the alleged situation didn’t seem familial. One user commented, “But do you really act like that with your nuna or dongsaeng (younger sibling)? It’s not giving sibling vibes at all,” while another wrote, “Anyone can tell that this isn’t his family member.”
As the discussion continued, the comments shifted toward the assumption that the woman was someone he might be dating. One fan wrote, “It’s so obviously his lover.”
Despite the growing rumors, there has been no official statement from Huening Kai, BIGHIT MUSIC, or TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s representatives regarding the incident. Without any confirmation or verifiable details.
MOAs defended Huening Kai’s right to privacy. Several pointed out that even if the rumors were true, idols are adults who deserve to live normal lives outside of their professional image. Comments like “He’s a human being too; let him date if he wants,” and “People really need to stop acting like it’s a crime for idols to have relationships.”
K-pop idols often face intense public scrutiny when it comes to dating or personal matters. The “idol image” plays a big part — agencies and media often promote stars as pure, hardworking, and emotionally available to fans.
This marketing approach can make romantic relationships appear as a betrayal to some fans. On the bright side, such reactions are slowly changing as younger audiences embrace a more realistic view of celebrities’ personal lives.
On the work front, TXT renewed their contract with BIGHIT MUSIC and wrapped the North American leg of their world tour in Newark on October 1-2. They will resume their tour in Japan on November 15-16 with two shows in Saitama.
