RIIZE’s Wonbin and ILLIT’s Wonhee are going viral after fans noticed the huge amount of space between them while seated together at a recent Chanel event.
Photos from the luxury brand show quickly spread online after netizens pointed out that despite being assigned seats next to each other, the two idols appeared to be leaning away and leaving an unusually large gap between them.
The images immediately sparked jokes and discussion online, with many fans saying it looked like the idols were intentionally trying not to fuel dating rumors or fan reactions.

The blond next to Wonbin was identified as singer Minachan, who is married with a child. Fans joked that things were so bad that even Minachan was unable to be comfortable.

Others sympathized with the situation, pointing out how even small interactions between male and female idols often become major dating speculation online.

On the other hand, some BRIIZEs have been arguing, claiming that the interaction was normal and that the girls were simply taking photos together. They have also defended the fandom, claiming that many do not mind friendly interactions.
