Recently, NCT’s Jaehyun garnered a huge response online after posting photos of himself swimming with a girl.
This sparked massive speculation among fans, who claimed the post was a “soft-launch” of a relationship.

However, most recently, a comment on the post revealed that the girl in the photo was actually his cousin.
I feel bad thinking that Jaehyun will be reading all these comments, when he just posted it with good intentions, sharing himself making good memories with his cousin despite his hectic schedule.

Another netizens pointed out that he had an uncle who was not Korean, and that she could be daughter of the uncle.

Jaehyun said that he had an uncle who was a foreigner, so she must be that cousin. Stop spreading nonsense and just go back to work. I am so tired of this.
