Recently, dating rumors surrounding LE SSERAFIM's Yunjin and LeBron have gone viral on social media. Fans of these prominent figures have been in a state of confusion, unsure of whether they are actually dating.
During the group's visit to the United States of America for scheduled activities and the promotion of their English single Perfect Night, the K-pop group LE SSERAFIM was also spotted enjoying a Lakers basketball game.
While Yunjin attended the Lakers basketball game, a reporter inquired about her favorite basketball player. She replied, with a smile, that it was LeBron James.
Shortly after, a Facebook page called Nonekpop posted that Yunjin and LeBron were dating. This post spread like wildfire on social media.
LE SSERAFIM's Yunjin and LeBron James 'dating' post debunked
The Facebook page Nonekpop shared a post on November 6, 2023, falsely declaring that LE SSERAFIM's Yunjin and LeBron James were dating, and that their agency had confirmed the dating news as of November 5, 2023. The post also provided apparent details about how they were getting to know each other and needed support from their fans.
The page captioned their viral post about LE SSERAFIM's Yunjin and LeBron James dating as follows:
"Member of the South Korean K-Pop Girl Group Le Sserafim, Huh Yunjin, and NBA Player LeBron James are reportedly dating. Both Yunjin's and LeBron's agency representatives have confirmed the dating issue on November 5, 2023."
The page further wrote:
"Sorce Music, the agency that represents Le Sserafim's Huh Yunjin, released a statement on media outlets today about the recent dating issue. Both are happily getting to know each other and we would appreciate it if everyone congratulated and supported the new couple."
Nonekpop, however, is a satire and gossip page on Facebook known for spreading false news to drive engagement on their social media platform. They upload speculative and humorous content that is mostly fabricated, and not from authentic sources.
The viral post about Yunjin and LeBron James is entirely false and unfounded. Moreover, their agency certainly hasn't released any statement about it.
Many fans on social media, especially on Tiktok, started shipping the duo due to the fake viral post. There were some, however, who criticized the rumor while referring to the age gap between the duo. They also claimed it was unethical to ship a teenager with an adult man who is approximately ten years older than her.
Yunjin later took to her social media handle on Instagram to share pictures from the Lakers basketball game while wearing the team's jersey. The official Instagram account of the Lakers team commented 'Perfect Night' on her post, prompting fans to leave a series of comments expressing their desire for LeBron James to dance to the group's song.
To reiterate, the viral post regarding Yunjin and LeBron James is completely fabricated and false.
