Netizens first became suspicious of the two of them after Kwon Ah Reum seemingly used Doyoung’s nickname ‘또잉,’ or Tto-ing (Ddoing), in her caption for her latest Instagram post. The post, however, was only a set of pictures of herself, so there is not much indication that she was specifically referring to Doyoung.

Yet, as netizens continued to speculate about it, SWMP released a statement on May 9 indicating that the rumors were clearly false. They announced that strong legal action would be taken against anyone who continued to spread them. The company is currently collecting data through continuous monitoring and is ready to protect its artists from any further malicious rumors, slander, and personal attacks.
