With social media at everyone’s fingertips, it is as easy as drinking a glass of water to spread rumors of literally anything these days, especially when it involves two famous personalities from sports and music.
Yes, we’re talking about the GOAT of Basketball and one of the prettiest K-pop girls, Huh Yun-jin. So, are the rumors of both of these stars dating true?
No. Lebron James, the Lakers star, and Yun-jin from Le Sserafim are not dating each other, but Yun-jin confirmed that she is a fan of Lebron and often watches the games of Lakers. It was a false rumor spread through a Facebook page known as Nonekpop.
Debunked: Are Yun-jin and Lebron James Dating?
Before we get into debunking the whole rumor thing, let’s make sure you are well-informed about their relationships. Lebron James has been married to Savannah James, his high school sweetheart, since 2013.
He also had three children with his wife: Bronny James, Bryce Maximus, and Zhuri Nova. On the other hand, Yun-jin, although born in Seoul, South Korea, was raised in New York and is a fan of Lebron James.
As far as we’re concerned, she is not dating anyone right now, and it must have something to do with K-pop’s strict rules. So, as for the rumors concerning Yun-jin and Lebron James, here’s the truth.
Nonekpop, a Facebook group mainly focusing on spreading satirical Korean Pop Culture News, posted that Lebron James and Yun-jin are reportedly dating.
They further stated in the post that both of their respective agencies confirmed the fact on November 5, 2023, but it was not true as they meant it as a satire following several people shipping them together.
They stated, “Sorce Music, the agency that represents Le Sserafim’s Huh Yunjin, has released a statement on media outlets today about the recent dating issue.”
“They both are happily getting to know each other. We would appreciate it if everyone would congratulate and support the new couple,” they also added.
However, this is simply not true as there is no official confirmation, and Lebron James is happily living with the love of his life. So, if you happen to find a similar rumor in the future, make sure to confirm its authenticity before sharing.
How Did People React to Lebron James and Yun-jin Dating Rumors?
To begin with, Lebron James and Yun-jin would make a very odd pair as the former is 38 years old and the latter is only 21. So, it is normal to expect that some would criticize those shipping these two stars.
On the other hand, several netizens on social media platforms like X are shocked, not believing what they’ve heard. Here are some notable reactions:
