On February 6, 2023, Newsen, a popular Korean entertainment title, pointed out that NCT’s Mark and OH MY GIRL’s Arin might be dating, on the account that the OMG member’s latest Instagram post was similar to the NCT member’s post from 2022. The similarity of the poses looked almost as if it were a lovestagram.
SM Entertainment and WM Entertainment both quickly refuted the dating allegations of their respective artists. WM Entertainment also added to their statement that the photo of Arin was taken by her father during their family vacation.
The quick, as if knee-jerk reaction of the agencies, especially SM Entertainment, made K-Pop stans laugh.

You guys are not seeing the bigger picture like arin and mark have four letters, I've pulled 4 mark photocards, and stanned Arin on 04/04 and the third wheel is in an awkward position but I'm 4 so I'm the 4th wheel, the wheel that keeps things moving hence they're both dating me https://t.co/H6euynK2vR pic.twitter.com/Qkw1ArEcp2

Well, okay then, I guess? We also wish for this same energy from agencies in the face of issues of talent mistreatment.
