ATEEZ member San, after experiencing an absurd dating rumor, urged fans to be cautious of 'sasaeng fans'.

On the 26th afternoon, following the dating rumor incident, San shared his recent activities through a fan communication platform, stating, "I am currently fulfilling my schedule."

After exchanging Chuseok greetings with fans, he added, "It's strange that people follow me wherever I go, even though they somehow know where I'll be. It's great to meet by chance, but otherwise, it makes me quite flustered," drawing attention.

He continued, "There are dating rumors floating around, but they're not true. Regardless, thank you for your interest. (Following me outside of my schedule) That is not acceptable. Taking secret photos is also wrong. Let's not commit crimes before getting caught."

San later reassured fans, saying, "Everyone, please don't worry. I'll be back soon."

In response, San's fans raised concerns about 'sasaeng fans'. Fans commented, "Please don't follow him when he's resting. He rarely gets a break while working overseas, so why follow him?", "Don't cross the line... San doesn't like this," and "If San had to say it this much, it must have been serious, and others likely suffered too."

On that day, a video circulated on ONLINE Community showing San walking with a woman through the streets of Milan, Italy. In the video, San, wearing a hat and sunglasses, was seen smiling and chatting with the woman. He had departed for Milan on the 21st to attend Fashion Week.

As videos focusing only on the two spread, netizens raised dating rumors about San. However, with an immediate clarification from his agency, the dating rumor concluded as a stunt.

A representative of ATEEZ's agency KQ Entertainment told StarNews, "(The woman in the video) was going to purchase necessary items as a Milan brand representative." They added, "Although the photo appears to show only the two of them, reviewing the uploaded video reveals that a manager is also present behind the brown-clad local security personnel."
