Dancer BATA, who acknowledged dating actress Ji Ye-eun, said the transfer-dating allegations are "baseless."
Aira, the agency of We Dem Boyz, said in an official statement on the 15th that the recently raised 'transfer dating' allegations are "not even worth mentioning."
BATA said, "We have refrained from responding because it is not even worth mentioning. There have been cases where false posts were reported without filtration, so we make it clear that they are baseless," and added, "We have never dated for six years, and the recent dating and breakup timing was three years ago."
He added that regarding baseless rumors, "If the absurd spread of false information continues, the agency plans to take strong action."
Earlier, BATA acknowledged dating Ji Ye-eun on the 13th and started a public relationship. Ji Ye-eun's agency CPN Entertainment said, "The two, who had been colleagues, have developed good feelings for each other and are seeing each other. We ask that you support them with warm eyes." After Ji Ye-eun and BATA acknowledged their relationship, posts claiming the two had a "some" connection spread on some online communities as "sacred posts." In that process, a post saying "BATA broke up with a girlfriend he dated for six years. He immediately meets Ji Ye-eun" appeared, raising transfer-dating suspicions and sparking controversy.
Below is BATA's full official statement.
