The deleted photo has sparked debate.
Koreaboo
IVE‘s Yujin and actor Moon Sang Min have become the subject of dating rumors after a photo he reportedly uploaded to Instagram was quickly deleted.
The rumors began after eagle-eyed netizens noticed a woman’s silhouette reflected in the left lens of Moon Sang Min’s sunglasses in a picture he posted.
One viral post on X (formerly Twitter) with more than 2.8 million views claimed that the woman’s outfit looked very similar to one Ahn Yujin had worn in IVE’s own content.
“A dating rumor between Moon Sang-min and Ahn Yujin?
Rumors that actor Moon Sang-min is dating IVE’s Ahn Yujin are spreading because of a reflection in the sunglasses in a photo he posted on Instagram and then quickly deleted 👀
When you zoom in on the sunglasses lenses, you can see the silhouette of a woman, and apparently, the outfit looks similar to one Ahn Yujin wore in her own content lol.
With a comeback coming up, fans are flooding in with opinions on whether this is just a minor incident or people jumping to conclusions.
What do you make of this?”

문상민 안유진 열애설이라고?
배우 문상민이 인스타에 올렸다가 급삭한 사진 속 선글라스 반사 때문에 아이브 안유진과의 열애설 루머가 퍼지는 중 👀
선글라스 렌즈를 확대하면 여성의 실루엣이 비치는데, 이 착장이 안유진이 자체 콘텐츠에서 입었던 옷과 유사하다는 것ㅋㅋㅋ

Similarly, a post on Pann also became a trending topic.
“Last Saturday, Moon Sang Min uploaded this photo to Instagram, then hurriedly deleted it not long afterward.
Why did he delete it…? Well, the reason is…
Take a close look at the left lens of Moon Sang Min’s sunglasses. Zoom in, and you’ll see the silhouette of a woman reflected in them.
IVE fans will find this outfit very familiar, right? That’s because it looks almost identical to the outfit Ahn Yujin wore while filming her own content.
Of course, idols can date… but when the leader of an idol group, with only a few days left until their comeback, has a photo of them on a date uploaded to the other person’s Instagram? That’s a different story.
I really hope this isn’t true….
I was going to keep pretending I didn’t know until the very end, but I felt bad for the fans, so I’m letting you know.”

However, the claim has received plenty of criticism from other Korean netizens, many of whom believe the reflection is too unclear to identify anyone.
- “No, but seriously, it’s impressive that you can look at that and think it’s Ahn Yujin.”
- “What are you even supposed to be seeing?”
- “This is such an absurd stretch that I don’t even know what to say… lol.”
- “Claiming it’s Ahn Yujin when you can’t even make out the shape properly is honestly scary. It’s like you have some kind of mental illness.”
- “I seriously hope there’s no one like you in my circle. This is so creepy.”
- “So they really were dating after all.”
