Following baseless romance rumors, ATEEZ's San directly urged fans to be cautious against stalker photographers. The idol, who had been generating significant buzz recently, unexpectedly found himself embroiled in controversy.

On the 26th, a video showing San walking with a woman through the streets of Milan, Italy, spread across online communities.

In the video, San, wearing a hat and sunglasses, was seen walking while conversing with a woman. He had departed for Milan on the 21st to attend the fashion week.

As videos showing only the two of them together circulated, speculation arose that San might be dating the woman in question. However, the romance rumors were ultimately resolved after his agency issued an explanation.

On this day, a representative from ATEEZ's agency, KQ Entertainment, told StarNews: "(The woman in the video) was heading to purchase necessary items as a Milan brand representative." The representative further explained, "While 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."

San himself addressed the issue directly through his fan communication platform. He stated, "Romance rumors are circulating, but it's not true," clearly distancing himself from the speculation. He also expressed concern over the harm caused by stalkers. San said, "People follow me wherever I go, which is surprising," and added, "It's wonderful when we happen to meet by chance, but otherwise, it's quite unsettling."

Additionally, while thanking fans for their attention, San emphasized, "Regardless, thank you for your interest. However, secretly filming is wrong. Let's not commit crimes before getting caught."

San has been receiving unprecedented attention since the release of ATEEZ's 'BAD' in June. Particularly, his powerful stage performances and visuals have garnered widespread buzz, earning him the nickname "Northern Duke."

In a recent appearance on SBS variety show 'Running Man,' San shared his feelings about this intense reaction. He remarked, "I thought fans would love it, but I didn't expect the general public to enjoy it so much."

Furthermore, when Choi Sang asked if his income had increased, San honestly replied, "Oh, very much so."

However, as interest in him has grown, he has unexpectedly faced romance rumors due to harm caused by stalker activities.
