Recently, netizens have pointed out that ITZY's Lia is suspected to be in a romantic relationship with rapper PENOMECO. Netizens have also discovered a photo taken in April where the two of them were seemingly together, watching cherry blossoms and taking photo on the streets.
According to sources, on the early morning of April 2nd this year, PENOMECO posted a photo on his Instagram that was taken during the late hours of the night. The image captured the beauty of cherry blossoms, with the sparkling streetlights adding an enchanting ambiance to the scene.
On the subsequent day, April 3rd, ITZY's official Instagram account uploaded a photo of Lia admiring cherry blossoms. In the picture, Lia can be seen wearing a hat and standing beneath a cherry blossom tree, with her arms outstretched. It is apparent that someone else captured the photo for her, though the identity of the photographer remains unknown at present.
Although it is possible that these are merely cherry blossom photos, upon careful observation of the background, one would notice striking similarities between the two pictures. For instance, the parked vehicles, the shape of the sidewalks, and even the placement of the cherry blossoms on the vehicles are consistent.
As a result, some netizens suspect that Lia and PENOMECO might have taken the photos together after attending a cherry blossom festival. This has led to speculation that the two might be involved in a romantic relationship and expressing their affection through lovestagram.
Upon seeing the photos, netizens have expressed various opinions, with some saying, "They must have gone to see the cherry blossoms together," "The photo was uploaded two days before, but Lia and the other members went to see cherry blossoms together. It doesn't seem to be from that time," and "In the past, ZICO mentioned on 'Knowing Brothers' that PENOMECO is a fan of ITZY." etc.
Other netizens also believe that the photos of the two were taken in the same location. Comments such as, "Is it possible to coincidentally be in the same place?!" and "Even the cherry blossoms falling on the cars are the same!" were made. Some even speculated, "Isn't this a photo taken by PENOMECO for Lia?" and "A romantic relationship between a female group member and a rapper! If they are dating, I hope it lasts long."
