ITZY’s Lia has found herself at the center of unexpected dating rumors after her recent Instagram post looked suspiciously similar to one shared by LOONA’s Chuu just days earlier — and fans are having a field day with it.
Lia shared a series of photos on October 14 showing snippets of her daily life, including several shots from her Pilates studio where she was working out on the equipment. On their own, the photos were perfectly ordinary — until eagle-eyed fans noticed Chuu had posted a strikingly similar set of photos a few days prior.
That alone might have been brushed off as coincidence. But the idols also used the exact same song on their posts: “We Fell in Love in October” by girl in red. Two idols, the same Pilates studio aesthetic, the same romantic soundtrack — in K-pop fandom, that’s practically a declaration.
Fans Joke That It “Can Only Mean One Thing”
Normally, these matching “lovestagram” clues spark dating rumors between a male and female idol. This time, since both idols are women, fans took the joke in a different direction — playfully shipping the two and calling it the clearest sign of a relationship K-pop has ever produced.
Social media quickly filled with reactions. One fan’s post declaring “this can only mean one thing in Korea” went viral, with thousands of replies running with the gag. Others pointed out that similar-looking Pilates photos and shared audio choices are exactly the kind of “evidence” that would send the fandom into overdrive in any other pairing.
Coincidence Or Something More?
The truth, of course, is far more mundane. Matching Instagram trends, popular Pilates studios, and trending audio are simply part of idol life in 2026 — two idols visiting the same workout spot and liking the same song is hardly scandalous. Neither Lia nor Chuu has commented on the rumors, and there is zero indication of anything beyond a funny coincidence.
Still, the episode shows how sharp-eyed K-pop fans have become. Every post is cross-referenced, every song choice analyzed, every location matched. For now, the “lovestagram” saga remains what it started as: a lighthearted joke that gave the fandom something fun to talk about.
