This netizen mentioned that Vata choreographed the song “Milkshake” by a project group formed by Ji Ye Eun and Ji Suk Jin, and wrote, “Why are they sticking together so much these days? This is crazy. He choreographs for her and they see each other at church. Of course they’d grow close,” and “They go to the same church, learn dance together, and seem to be flirting using being friends as an excuse,” raising suspicions about their relationship.
