With the dating rumors of INFINITE's L and choco-holic ulzzang Kim Do Yeon flying about since the early morning, more photos have surfaced from fans who claim the photos above are of L and Kim Do Yeon grocery shopping together. With the issue blowing up and unable to remain silent any longer, Woollim has finally responded.
The agency commented, "L and Kim Do Yeon became close friends after being acquainted through a mutual friend... However, they are not dating like it has been said."
They further added, "INFINITE, including L, even now, are hard at work on their world tour."
Another rep offered a bit more details as he said, "Kim Do Yeon is one of many friends that L came to know towards the start of their world tour through another friend... From what I know, they are just two among many close friends. They are not a couple."
[Update] - Reps of the agency are now speaking to media outlets over the phone, going more in depth about the situation.
One rep told a media outlet, "INFINITE has been on a world tour starting August. Currently, INFINITE, their managers, and staff are at Bangkok. We weren't able to confirm it with him until later so our official statement was also late... Due to the rehearsals and tour preparations, the members and reps are all very busy...The two are just friends who came to know one another due to another friend. It hasn't been all that long since they've been friends. They're not dating like it's been said."
Another rep said, "Because L was handling schedule overseas, it took us some time to confirm. He said they are just simply friends... He wasn't aware of all the matching clothes and shoes and is quite shocked himself... He met Kim Do Yeon at a gathering with friends, and became close with her along with others." Regarding Kim Do Yeon's tweet, the rep said, "Since Kim Do Yeon is close with L, it seems like she was just expressing her affection also in the point of view as a fan, it doesn't seem like it means anything more than that."
As for the 'Do Yeon' L listed in the 'Thanks To' section of the group's album, one rep said, "We don't know if that Do Yeon is that Do Yeon."

Don't
lie
Myung
Soo
Ya
(TN: Written in the same manner as Kim Do Yeon's tweet)
2. [+646, -11] He turned his fans into fools with his relationship and now he's turning his girlfriend into a fool by backing out like this ㅋㅋㅋ It's too late to deny it all, your girlfriend's already gone too far
3. [+558, -39] There's already pictures of you at the supermarket with her released, it's too late for you ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just keep your mouth shut if you're going to bother with unexplainable excuses ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Myungsoo-ya, I knew there'd come a day that you'd betray me ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I can't help but laugh at this situation right now ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+88, -1] What companies mean by 'close friends' is that they're lovers but not engaged for marriage so please just ignore them until they break up.
5. [+59, -6] Close friends ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ They really must be dating seeing as how their company responded with an official statement...
6. [+438, -4] I think they're going to get into another fight because he denied it ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
7. [+407, -8] Our Myungsoo is going to get into another fight with his girlfriend and cry again
8. [+40, -3] "I don't like cowards (Kim Do Yeon's recent tweet)"........... So embarrassing of her.

1. [+956, -28] So when are you going to apologize for ridiculing Boreum? ㅋㅋㅋ You guys are so immature.
2. [+919, -44] Why is he dating a girl begging for attention. He's lowering his class.
3. [+907, -49] INFINITE's stupid fangirls are so stupid ㅋㅋㅋ They were all up in Soyeon and Sulli's scandals but now that it's L's turn, they're claiming that he's being bitten by a kkot-baem? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. [+89, -9] Kim Myungsoo, farewell to your career for thinking your fans would be idiots to fall for this. Dating is your choice since you're a 20 year old young man but tweeting those things was nothing but an act of ridicule against your fans ㅋ Now everything you've said sounds like a lie and it disgusts me to even see your face, it literally makes me throw up. I hope you have a great relationship with your girlfriend.

"I like you more than anyone else!!"
"I like taking pictures with you all more than anyone else~^^"
They saw it as him taking the fans for idiots. Apparently his tweets were directed to the fans after Han Boreum posted a photo of them together but were misconstrued as L directing it at his alleged gf. IDEK anymore.

Things escalated pretty quickly
Date: 2013-09-27 08:48 am (UTC)Well at least no one's talking about the other 2 dating 'scandals' anymore. They should send L a gift basket.

Date: 2013-09-27 09:24 am (UTC)Also those netizens are being OTT, I have a feeling maybe the people who don't like idols hang out in those posts just to drag them when they have a chance, no-one should be THAT butt-hurt.

Date: 2013-09-27 09:27 am (UTC)Either way on the whole dating thing, i think myungsoo has been in the dating scene for quite a while (whether its with this girl or not) ever since he suddenly stated in that interview that he had a girlfriend (even though it turned out to be some cheesy answer like inspirits lol) just the way the other members reacted to it spoke volumes lol they look woried and surprised that he was spouting such a thing so suddenly.
