Is Wheein Dating Anyone?

Once, Wheein revealed her ideal type, who she would consider dating, saying, “I like Beenzino sunbaenim… but I mean he’s basically the ideal type for all girls in their 20s… so I didn’t want to say it, because it kind of hurts my pride! But yea, he’s my ideal type.”

There also were speculations going around that Wheein and BTS’s V is in a relationship, which first started when they both hosted Inkigayo in 2015.
