RIIZE's Shoutaro dismissed rumors of a romantic relationship with aespa's GISELLE. Today (29th), Shoutaro communicated with fans through a live stream. During the stream, some viewers repeatedly posted speculative and malicious comments suggesting that Shoutaro and GISELLE were dating. As their malicious actions continued, Shoutaro opened his mouth and denied it, stating, 'We have been receiving strange comments since a while ago. They are asking if I am dating GISELLE, but we are not in any such relationship at all. We are close friends and seniors in the same company, but we are really not in any such relationship.' Shoutaro, who was confused, added, 'Please do not misunderstand,' and expressed his disappointment, saying, 'I didn't want to react to this on purpose.' Shoutaro and GISELLE belong to the same SM Entertainment and share the commonality of being Japanese nationals, but clarified that they are only colleagues and friends, not in a romantic relationship.
