K-Pop idols Hyebin and Marco are revealed to have been dating, despite Marco rejecting the claims. Hyebin is leader of popular group Momoland but who is her new man, Marco?
It’s huge news whenever K-Pop idols confess that they’re dating, since die-hard fans might send hate to them or their entertainment company forbids them to.
But Lee Hyebin of Momoland is probably free from her dating ban, given that she’s debuted for nearly five years.
According to Koreaboo, the pair is rumoured to have been dating since 2019!
Marco previously denied his relationship with Hyebin
The news was confirmed by Hyebin’s company, MLD Entertainment. They said:
“After confirming with Hyebin, it is true that Hyebin and Marco are dating.”
However, Marco previously denied their romance in a chatroom with fans and has now had to apologise for lying to his supporters on Instagram.
“This is Marco. I apologise for worrying fans. Yesterday, I hugely disappointed the fans who supported and trusted me all this while, through my words in the open chat room. It was due to my oversight in trying to reassure fans with a lie.
I was afraid of bringing harm to many people, and as someone who was able to promote due to love from fans, I turned a blind eye to the fact that being truthful is a must. I am feeling only apologetic to the fans who were hurt by my wrongful lack of judgment and lies.
Although my apology will not erase the disappointment and sadness they have already received from me, I will reflect continuously. I will put in the effort so as not to disappoint again. I will not forget and reflect on the criticisms that have been sent to me about my immature actions.
Once again, I seek your forgiveness. I’m sorry.”
Hyebin has not been active on social media since the news broke out.
