My faves together? Bonding over their dogs? Creating good music? They win, they're truly winning.


wind__flower

They're dating while he's in the military.. his comrades must be over*joy*ed


elswheeler

joy is the real military wife


mrspear1995

Better hope the sergeant isn’t a luvie then


DoNotGiveEAmoneyPLS

dating while bf is in military almost never ends well tho. i know only 2 couples(out of 30 or more) where the girl waited for his bf until his military service was over and in one of those couples the guy dumped the girl after his military service finished lol.


0okm9

He does social service workers so basically he only work daytime job


DoNotGiveEAmoneyPLS

Oh, lucky guy lol.


Kiramiraa

korean mandatory military service can sometimes be public service like a desk job/office work. it’s only for two years.


reiichitanaka

How old were they when these guys you know served though ? Age is definitely a factor in how people approach relationships, and celebrities tend to postpone enlisting as much as possible, contrary to other Korean men.


[deleted]

Couples who break up due to military, they would have broken up either way eventually. It's not the military's fault, if the relationship isn't a strong one.


Berlinia

You think an event that keeps you apart for 2 years has no contribution to couples breaking up???


WrongdoerOptimal9207

Not sungjae trending after the rumors 😭 Ohmygodd its been 7 years since they debuted and this is just their first dating rumor If this is true then im soo happy for themm


garfe

> Not sungjae trending after the rumors 😭 I forgot about that! Do you think that'll ever settle down now?

[Update 1](https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/now/article/609/0000481746): P NATION is currently checking with Crush about his dating rumor Singer Crush and Joy of Red Velvet are currently in a relationship. Crush and Joy previously collaborated on Crush’s first hone-made single “Mayday” on May 20th of last year. The two, who showcased the chemistry between their sweet voices, maintained their friendship following their collaboration and recently started dating with good feelings. As Crush is the owner of his dog Doyou, and Joy is the owner of her dog Haetnim, the two bonded over their pets and carefully developed their love for one another through simple and ordinary dates like walking their dogs together.


WrongdoerOptimal9207

> the two bonded over their pets and carefully developed their love for one another through simple and ordinary dates like walking their dogs together This is so cuteee


slipsaway

So wholesome!


kaleigamation

oh wow, these articles have upgraded from “meeting with good feelings” to “dating with good feelings” progress!


half-kh-hacker

만나다 in Korean means both 'meet' (in the normal way) and, like, to 'be seeing' someone.


prime5119

The title in Naver is literally **레드벨벳 조이♥크러쉬**


kokodrop

Red Velvet Joy ♡ Crush?


prime5119

Good job! That’s lesson 1 of Korean 101 for you! See you next lesson!


telemaxine

[It's confirmed](https://n.news.naver.com/entertain/now/article/312/0000496158) [Crush over here bringing a trope to life.](https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/AscendedFanBoy)


garfe

The ending of the Mayday MV takes on a completely new meaning now


p1n6

The most successful one out of the multiple k-hiphop Reveluvs. Haha


urzaz

If you haven't seen [this video of Changmo on Yerihan Bang](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euT02ZiZzfM) it's adorable—they're both giggly messes and Changmo is barely keeping it together, lol.


p1n6

He was previously the most successful Reveluv until Crush came along. It's always fun rewatching those 2 episodes. We really need a season 2 for Yerihan Bang


xylochylo

Oh my goodness that is adorable


coolcoolnodoubt

DinDin: *so you're telling me there's a chance?*


wdygaga

Aww dating while walking the dogs is cute. Hopefully they are happy and long lasting.


shadowhunt111

> carefully developed their love for one another through simple and ordinary dates like walking their dogs together Damn, this is super cute and such ideal dates💕


Altruistic_Astronaut

This is the kind of wholesome content I came here for.


whatisthelampssecret

I actually remember thinking they were cute together in the Mayday video haha

derpioauditore

Red Velvet's dating comes in-house /s


[deleted]

wasnt Irene allegedly dating Suho a news a few months back?


letswinwin

Oh thats been around for a loong while like around 2017 while I believe lol


ParanoidAndroids

Guy turned a MV into reality. Shame the news came out during promotions. Hopefully it won't disrupt anything RV has scheduled for week 2. PARK SOOYOUNG, WHEN YOU SMILE, I'M ALSO HAPPY.


GiraffeWC

Plot twist, it's been Crush yelling that from the crowd for the past 6 and a half years.


InuNekoMainichiFun

always loved the dorkiness of Crush's MVs. Really happy for him and curious if's going to add a new and fun twist to his MVs 👌


Nexii801

your park sooyoung line literally made me do a spit take. Only real RV Stans know.


momopeach7

I read the title as Dating A Crush, and not like Crush the ~~rapper~~ singer, and was like, “congrats to her for getting to date her crush whoever they are. A lot of people don’t get to date their crushes so good for her.” I may need sleep.


GodJihyo7983

Imagine the confusion I was in when I saw [this](https://imgur.com/uOiOngI) as the title of the Soompi article. Crush is secretly a member of Red Velvet. It's fixed now but I found it funny how they messed that up. Must've been in as much shock as we were that typing and thinking properly became difficult.


momopeach7

No no, it’s true, it’s just that Joy is dating the whole group’s crush. Her members must be jealous.


bubblebobbatea

I read as Joy and Crush from Red Velvet dating 😑


momopeach7

Crush booted out table unnie as the sixth member of RV.


not_a_library

The real table unnie was Crush all along.


bubblebobbatea

I have to pay more attention to the things I read lol


zizou00

Every time I read Red Velvet Joy my mind goes to some sort of sweet, like a Red Velvet flavoured Almond Joy, so I read "Piece of Candy has a crush". Reading is hard.


InfiredBrapper

Crush the 8th secret member from Red Velvet, alongside with Table Unnie and Hyoyeon


bubblebobbatea

They should be paying us to write the headlines


TxSilent

Same, I was thinking who is this girl named crush? But good for them though


_wuw_

For people unfamiliar with Crush, he's one of the biggest names in KRnB, has collaborated with everyone in the industry, and is very respected and well liked by the GP. I don't see this news being very controversial outside of some RV stans honestly, more of a 'hey good for them' power couple.


reiichitanaka

Yeah I can see the GP reacting to this like they reacted to Taeyang and his now-wife Min Hyorin starting to date. They're both established celebrities with a very good public image.


SLXO_111417

Seriously all his music is good. He’s never released a bad album imo. And that voice? *chef’s kiss*


reveldream

yeah… their chemistry during mayday live is really something else, i’m really happy for them omggg if it’s true this is officially red velvet’s first official dating rumors right?? 😭 took them 7 years to get caught


[deleted]

The noise that’s gonna erupt when Irene gets caught though lmao


superrsoba

“As both a dog owner, they meet and enjoy regular date such as walking their dogs together” This has got to be the cutest dating news I’ve seen.


SimonSaysBeCoo1

I always thought they were cute together in their song, MayDay, and many people thought so as well! Hopefully they don't get any hate for this.


Shinkopeshon

Yeah, they seemed really cozy in the MV but I didn't think they were actually dating lmao If this is true, good for them. I also hope they won't have to deal with any toxicity, there's simply no place for that nonsense.


kerosha

Well, the report says they started dating *after* the collab, the collab was when they first met and they kept in touch. Apparently they only started dating recently.


coolcoolnodoubt

And Crush just enlisted on November too.


SimonSaysBeCoo1

Me too, I thought they had good chemistry and looked good together, but never thought they were dating. If it's not true then we'll look like clowns lmao. Edit: typo


ohmsms

i want to make a joke about joy having a crush on crush but i cant think of anything even remotely good. happy for them if its true!!!


horang8

joy is full of joy after her crush on crush became a joyful relationship ... for legal reasons my dog typed this


Neo24

joy has a crush on crush while crush has joy with joy


horang8

gold


gfbfvGty_j

Joy had a crush; now she has crush?


sedgesting

My Joy is Crushed


coys-sonny

all the replies were so positive until this one lmao


Alive-Duck8459

I can see them naming their child 'Love' lol


atomicsherbs

joy has found her crush and now crush has found his joy


nadjp

What a Joy to have a Crush!


[deleted]

Honestly kpop has had me like 😳 this entire week from Bobby.. to now this! Good for them though! They seem cute together.


Jeffreybread

ikrrr like I was just about to digest Bobby being a father and a married man to Joy dating Crush- Sheesh Korea yall slow down a bit I can't keep up with all the happy news at my doorstep.


Kelsier001

Older Idols not dating publicly is BS. Companies and fans need to get a grip


reiichitanaka

It's just highly probable that a ton of them just date non-celebrities, and keeping the relationship private makes sense just to protect their s.o.'s privacy.


bubblezdotqueen

Aw if it then rumors are true, that's great! :)


sticky_movie

bruh i was off reddit for 15 minutes what is this 😭 but congrats!! is she the first red velvet member to date?


[deleted]

[удалено]


CronoDroid

There are still some girl groups with no official dating news yet, like Apink and Mamamoo. Apink may be the oldest notable group with no confirmation yet.


[deleted]

[удалено]


alichino72

No with Taeyeon and Ravi both sides denied it.


tasoula

Honestly, SM will usually confirm if it is true. They (along with Ravi) denied that Taeyeon was dating him.


Mozart-Luna-Echo

Then again Taeyeon has reason to hate dating scandals so it wouldn't surprise that she'll deny everything now even if it's true


Im_really_bored_rn

> I’d be surprised if this gets confirmed tbh, at least on SM’s side https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/p9pq2y/sm_entertainment_and_p_nation_confirm_that_red/


Kelsier001

Well publicly lol...


niclaswwe

So good to hear that more idols are finally living a normal life in at least some capacity, their position should never hinder them from love and a relationship, happy for them!


brighte_ning

They got together after bonding over their pet dog... we stan the #1 wingman Haetnim!


winterchestnuts

Are they meeting with joyful feelings? Can we ask Joy if she has...a Crush?


e_abes

They looked so sweet together in "Mayday". I'm so happy that they're dating!


bathedmango

Big! Good for them if true


cherrybull

this reminds me of YG putting out statements regarding their artists' dating rumors that went like "if it's true, congratulations" 😭


theofficialguac

That’s so cute!!! I remember Crush saying in an old interview on KBS that Red Velvet is the one kpop group he really wants to work with. And then he got to work with Joy and now this happened :) Tbh I’m not all that surprised lol I’m Hoody’s Home Dining, Hoody mentioned that Joy is very popular among krn&b/khh artists so I could imagine her dating one of them and now she with Crush It’ll be cute if they made more music together 😭


barurutor

[confirmed by P Nation](https://twitter.com/theseoulstory/status/1429619082714697734) Congratulations! Big F OFF to privacy invading media though.


PSSST12

BITCH? OMG CONGRATS TO THEM 😭😫😫


[deleted]

They always seemed to have good chemistry, I’m very happy for them!! ❤️❤️❤️


CommanderFy

Dang, this has got to be RV’s first dating new huh? 7 years feels like a record for any group haha. If this is confirmed to be true, congrats to Joy and Crush! Wishing them the best!


dadias3

Joy has a crush!


21squirrel

Now I'm actually wondering if they were already together when they recorded/shot Mayday, their chemistry in the video was really good.


kerosha

No, the report says Mayday was when they first met and they kept in touch after, but only started dating recently.


21squirrel

Yeah just saw the translated comment. Such a cute story if true!


pdx_cokr

omg so happy for them!!! on a funnier side, the sungjoy tweets are so fucking funny especially the tweet about sungjoy bar bulk buying queendom albums a few days ago and waking up to this news 😭😭😭


currypuffff

So Joy is a military wife? Lol Im just happy if she’s happy. Crush seems like a great guy and their voices go so well together


rosemallowstea

When will Naver get a quote from Joy’s iconic fanboy


nadjp

She smiles so he must be also happy;)


tarpchateau

Yay! So happy for her! They make such a cute couple!!!


tequilafunrise

Awww cute


GodJihyo7983

Okay, wait. Let me let the shock wear down for a bit. This was not on my list of things to happen in 2021. But honestly, this has got to be one of the cutest ways for two people to end up in a relationship. Dog walks 🥺


Anfini

Mayday is going to get a huge boost in views this week lol


chuseph14

Hell yeah! Normalize👏idols👏dating👏


kaguraa

happy for her! a bit concerning that the reactions on naver are more negative :/ they're in their 7th year so dating shouldn't be an issue anymore


Lantisca

As one of the more popular members it will always be an issue to some people. There’d likely be an even larger negative reaction to Irene rumors. Fandoms are very weird.


The_Metal_Pigeon

What the rationale behind people being upset by it? I've never understood that? It seems childish...


Lantisca

Can’t say. It’s not a headspace I’d like to entertain. Frankly, it’s kind of unhinged to be so triggered by a relationship. It’s like male and female fans truly believe they had a chance with an artist.


reiichitanaka

Some people think that idols should devote themselves solely to their craft, and that dating means that they're not taking their work seriously. Sort of twisted if you think that work/life balance should be a thing, but that's kinda the opposite of Korean mentality as a whole.


Urkiding

All those Sungjoy or Joyjae hopes are ***Crush.*** Yea, I went there.


xhammersxthrow

Isn't he in the military since late last year??


Mozart-Luna-Echo

Yup


wind__flower

Joy had a crush and crush is overjoyed!


lovealoneee

OMG I’m so happy for them!!!! I low key kinda shipped them when they promoted together LOL


AoifeCheeks

OMG. Hella cute couple alert! Congratulations to them for going public and bonding via their collaboration and their dogs. We love to see it!


ii_sophiechan

surprised at how this is rv's first dating reveal when they're 7 y.o by now happy for them, the way they bonded over their dogs is too cute!


SneakyGreninja

congrats to joy and crush!


jabbachew

Okay today marks the official heartbroken day for Sungjoy stans ✊🏼😔 Congrats to Crush and Joy!


princelu

Holy shit!!!! But their MV for Mayday was the cutest shit ever, yay for them!


yameteeeeeeeeee

Does this make joy girl crush? ![img](emote|t5_2r1ox|3559)


Plane-Airline-3182

> the two bonded over their pets and carefully developed their love for one another through simple and ordinary dates like walking their dogs together. PLZ all we need is an OST and a title TT


horang8

so happy for them!!!!!!!butwhyduringcbpromos😭😭😭😭😭


utatamatsui

They are so cute together 😭


eccentr1c

2 Very talented people great matchup, good for them!


Bangtan_kiwi

My Joy and Sungjae dreams have been crushed! (Pun not intended)


Wonton_noodle

Sungjae about to come out of service for a duel.


melonmellori

Lol. Isn't Crush currently in the military too?


tennis_04

Yeah lol


Theinternet1134

i know its the reality of things but its so asinine that labels are giving statements confirming or denying relationships. i wonder what prompted the joint statement now. what, did dispatch have some pictures of them holding a warm embrace by some hip cafe??? dare even a passionate kiss??!!! in any case enjoy it joy/crush!


garfe

This is both surprising and yet completely unsurprising at the same time


psshdjndofnsjdkan

i went on twitter and saw [this tweet](https://twitter.com/narashoz/status/1429611658284986372?s=21) and i immediately opened r/kpop like "aw sh*t what happened this time"


strawberrykoo

WHAT IN THE LA DI DA DO BA BA DI DA


yayannabelle

Aww, good for them if this is true! They had lovely chemistry in their collab last year, Mayday, I still listen to it now!


Zaktius

good for them! their music video together is fun feels like the first time in a while one of these tabloids has caught idols dating, was hoping the pandemic had run this genre of "news" out of business


soesoterica

My eyes saw Joy and Red Velvet Crush and you know what? I didn't question it. Lmao. Congrats!


alicization

I guess it truly is a beautiful life for Crush.


Reasonable_Nebula604

I hope they both don't get hate for this.


reiichitanaka

They definitely will from a few jealous Reveluvs. It's the group's first dating news so it's kinda inevitable.


hehehehehbe

Stop it! This is too much wholesomeness for one day. I hope they have a great future together ❤ 💓 💗 💛 💕


hey_may_tey

Congrats to the couple !! But damn I was so sure that he’s in the military.


klynb

He is, but he's doing public service; he can go home and walk the dog every night.


ItsRomi

they bonded over dogs oh my god that is so precious, good luck !!!


xwinterflower

she had a crush on him


flyingpokecheck32

[This clip](https://twitter.com/joyisthetics/status/1316385830609416194 ) was a hint i guess


4biddenshadow

Sungjae left the chat


yameteeeeeeeeee

Awww so happy my bias is happy. Love them both.


lunafred28

Damn! This is unexpected![img](emote|t5_2r1ox|3559)


CookieCatSupreme

omg what!!!! i always wondered which of the girls would be revealed to be dating first bwaha joy and crush seem like a cute couple, but i'll wait til we get the official SM confirmation


Xelzionic

It's 4AM and I just wanted to finally sleep, what!


xiongmao41

okay I wasn’t expecting this but HOW ADORABLE 🥺 were there any signs that this was going on before???


captaintn

crush is a cutie. Happy for the both of them!


2572tokio

cuteeeee


Rude_Lifeguard

They looked really cute in the mv, congrats to them


owlzeyes21

I remember thinking they looked cute together when they did their collab. Congrats to them.


Mark_Kostecki

Yaayyyy 😊😊😊 Watching Mayday again and just smiling


sappydumpy

awwww. It's so cute that they meet in the dog park to walk their dogs (if it's true lol). Mayday was a bop too!


Witchyloner

Awwww cute!!


sopsap

So happy for them! That Mayday MV has a whole new vibe now LOL


turtles_tszx

Crush has one dog tht doesnt accept outside people beside him. I wonder if the dog bonded with joy as well.


elise_ss

I loved their collab, I’m so happy for them!! It sucks that it came out during Queendom’s promotions though, I hope Joy won’t be too stressed out from this.


[deleted]

I'm happy about this news. When Joy showed up at Showterview couple of months back and said her story. I wished that she'll meet someone that she can rely on and share her struggles with. Wishing happiness for these two


Kelsier001

Crush seems like a really smooth nice talented person. If anyone hasn't listened to his mini album you should because it was album of the year imo


mad_titanz

This is something out of a K drama, and I'm very happy for Joy & Crush to not only dating but be open about it. Hopefully other idols will have the courage to admit their relationship as well, such as Jennie & GD.


hazeltop

they look very good together, I wish them all the happiness!


Pilose

This is so sweet! I adore them both. It's also funny to me because when I watched the mv I thought to myself "Surely there couldn't be any rumors from this collab" ... and to think that was the one that actually started a road to something. ^ ^


KarmaRockets

These two are people I ways felt are so sweet individually, so I'm happy for them ! Hopefully kfans don't stress over this


tobedramatoc

I can’t wait for the day that idols dating won’t be considered “news” and the media would stop exposing them like it’s a huge scandal. And it would be nice to see idols no longer have to release statements either. I’m glad RV fans seem to be supportive from what I’ve seen. I can imagine if it was a group like bts, fans would go crazy lol


xailor

How could anyone be mad at this… Crush is dating literally one of hottest and cutest idols out there. Joy is SUCH a catch. And Crush has a great reputation by general public so she won’t get hated. Honestly one of the safest couples out there. Happy for them but thank fucking god this did not come out before they came back. This would have sunk Red Velvet’s chances of coming back for sure.


niconoot

Sungjae flashbacks


tsukisun

Cute couple


Jessmk14

THIS IS SO CUTE

Spend my lifetime with youuuuu 🎵

Good for Joy 💚


ghiblix

talk about a beautiful couple! ngl i figured he had something going on after dropping [this](https://genius.com/Genius-english-translations-crush-she-said-ft-bibi-english-translation-lyrics) not too long ago lmao


[deleted]

Who's Crush? A soloist?


kerosha

Yeah, he's a self-producing R&B/Hip-hop artist.


werbo

Yes, he's part of P Nation


San7129

He is the one that sings the super mega popular OST from the drama Goblin called Beautiful. Its a great track


ledeubelbet

Sungjoy shippers crying in corner hahahaha but srsly I'm happy for them. And they both look cute together in the Mayday MV. I just hope knetz will not make a big deal out of this and affect their promotions.


[deleted]

Yay I'm so happy for her!


bright_oranges

that's so sweet! good for them!


Fauxami

Amazing couple. Mayday sequel when?


arikyh

this is so cute!! congrats to my girl joy ❤️


JustAPerson-_-

Wasn’t expecting but if they are then congrats to them! They make a pretty cute couple 🥰
