South Korean pop singers NCT’s Mark and Oh My Girl’s Arin’s are reportedly not dating; their respective agencies have confirmed. As reported by Korean tabloid Soompi, on February 6, it was reported that a photo of Arin kissing the sun posted on Instagram on February 5 shared a similar pose and angle to the photo Mark uploaded in October. However, as the outlet suggests, the “kissing the sun” pose is known to be popular among celebrities and non-celebrities alike.

As the two similar posts sparked dating rumors for the two artists, a representative from NCT’s agency SM Entertainment clarified the same day, “Mark’s dating rumor is groundless.” Meanwhile, a source from Oh My Girl’s agency WM Entertainment also commented, “The dating rumor is groundless. The photo in question is one that Arin’s father took while on a family vacation.”

The two artists were classmates for 3 years of high school and have since remained good friends.
