In the latest development sparking renewed speculation among fans, Rumi, leader and lead vocalist of the girl group HUNTR/X, and Jinu, leader and lead singer of the Saja Boys, were photographed in what appears to be a private, late-night meeting near a river.

Both artists were dressed casually in hoodies. Notably, in matching neutral tones, and were reportedly seen conversing quietly without any accompanying staff or security, according to eyewitness accounts.

A representative from HUNTR/X Rumi’s agency issued a short statement earlier today:

“Rumi and Jinu are colleagues who have maintained a friendly relationship over the months. There is no truth to dating rumors.”

Meanwhile, Saja Boys' Jinu label declined to comment.

Fan response has been mixed. Some hail the moment as a charming show of friendship or potential romance, while others question the timing and optics, given both groups’ recent comebacks.

Regardless, the appearance of the two idols in such a seemingly intimate setting has reignited interest in the rumors surrounding their relationship.

Whether coincidence, close friendship, or something more, one thing is certain: the public continues to watch the RuJinu dynamic with curiosity, skepticism, and undeniable fascination.

In response to rising speculation surrounding popular K-pop idols Rumi (of Huntr/x) and Jinu (of Saja Boys), both agencies released coordinated statements this morning denying any romantic relationship between the two.

"Rumi and Jinu are close colleagues who support each other as artists," the statement read.

"Again, there is NO romantic relationship. We ask fans to refrain from making assumptions based on social media interactions or coincidental scheduling overlaps."

This announcement comes after both artists were seen engaging in flirty banter on Twitter, posting suspiciously timed photos, and referencing one another without directly tagging names. Fans also pointed out that Jinu has liked every one of Rumi’s posts within seconds of upload, and that she follows only 13 people (one of whom is Jinu’s private art account.)

Despite the agencies’ attempt to downplay the rumors, hashtags like #RuJinu, #LetThemDate, and #SoftLaunchComplete continue to trend across Korea and global K-pop stan Twitter.

One top comment under the statement on Instagram reads: "Okay but why was Jinu's hand in her ramen story??? 😭"

Another reads: "Lol liars, keep denying it #RuJinuIsReal"

The term “RuJinu”, a ship name coined by fans combining Rumi and Jinu, has evolved from a casual joke into a full-blown fandom movement.

Fans are now creating custom T-shirts, sticker packs, phone cases, and digital fanart, flooding social media with their own interpretations of the pair’s “not-dating” romance.

Neither Rumi nor Jinu have made personal statements following the announcement.

However, fans noticed Jinu tweeted a cryptic ໒꒱ minutes after the agency statement dropped, sparking even more memes and speculation.

It’s the pop culture puzzle no one can stop talking about: Rumi, Huntr/x’s crown jewel and undisputed pop-star royalty, has once again been seen in close quarters with Jinu, the devastatingly handsome leader, visual, and lead vocalist of the global juggernaut Saja Boys.

The two were reportedly spotted standing together near a stairwell during a quiet moment away from public view.

Both were dressed casually and did not wear masks, keeping their profiles low through body language and positioning rather than concealment.

A source described the interaction as “natural, unhurried, and familiar - like it wasn’t the first time.”

And let’s be honest: it wasn’t the first time.

Repeated Sightings, Continued Denials

Despite multiple instances of the two being seen together in similarly understated settings, both artists’ agencies have repeatedly denied any romantic involvement. Official statements describe the pair as colleagues who share “mutual respect as professionals,” with no further personal connection.

And yet, each appearance seems to tell a different story.

If true, a connection between Rumi and Jinu would be one of the most high-profile pairings in recent memory.

Still, with every silent moment and shared glance captured, the question lingers: how many coincidences does it take before a story begins to write itself?

Fan Theories (from our comment section):

• “This is promo for a collab.”
• “They’re cousins.”
• “She was asking for directions.”
• “This is AI-generated and I’m hallucinating.”
• “PR Relationship. Period.”

It seems that romance rumors between K-pop stars Rumi of Huntr/x and Jinu of Saja Boys have become something of a quarterly tradition, right alongside seasonal comebacks and unnecessary subunits.

This time, the spark was reignited by two suspiciously similar Instagram Stories, posted just a day apart.

Naturally, this set off another round of fan-led detective work, complete with timestamp analyses, cloud pattern comparisons, and the usual flurry of magnified screenshots.

But before the hashtags could finish climbing the trending charts, both artists’ agencies swooped in with statements so familiar they might as well have been copy-pasted from a shared PR folder titled “RUJINU: STOP THEM!”

Entertainment representing Rumi, assured the public:

“Rumi and Jinu are simply close colleagues. The timing and content of the posts were purely coincidental.”

Jinu's agency echoed the sentiment with mechanical precision:

“There is no romantic relationship between the two artists. We ask fans to refrain from speculative interpretations.”

In the meantime, Rumi and Jinu remain officially single and (apparently) magnetically drawn to the same aesthetic lighting.

At this point, fans are less surprised by the denials and more impressed by the agencies’ commitment to the bit.

Just when we thought the romantic rumors were dying down, fate (and a fan with a ridiculously powerful zoom lens) intervened.

Late Sunday night, a photo taken by an amateur moon photographer (username @lunarlens95) has sent the internet into a collective spiral.

The fan claims they were simply “trying to get a clean shot of the supermoon” when they noticed “a suspiciously long braid and a very familiar handsome guy in a hoodie” on a nearby rooftop.

The result? A grainy but oddly poetic photo showing RUMI of Huntr/x with her angelic face and voice and JINU, Saja Boys' golden-voiced heartthrob, standing close together under the moonlight... singing. Yes, singing. You can almost hear the harmonies just looking at the picture.

@lunarlens95, whose moon pic unexpectedly became a news-worthy event, captioned the image:

“I was just trying to look at the moon, not stumble into a goddamn romantic ballad. That’s Rumi’s braid. I know my braids. Why do they sound like they’re about to drop the OST of the year.”

The internet agrees.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH BOBBY, HUNTR/X'S MANAGER

To be fair, we weren’t expecting much. When it comes to Rumi and Jinu - whose fans are practically building PowerPoint presentations to prove their rooftop rendezvous wasn’t "just a duet" - everyone’s been tight-lipped.

Except Bobby, the Huntr/x's manager.

1. Hello, Bobby! You're a legend! Thanks for answering our call.

Let's start with the question: Why are they [Rumi & Jinu] singing on the houses’ roofs?

“Wow, people still climb on roofs? That’s crazy. Couldn’t be them.

But hypothetically, if someone were serenading the moon in harmony with a chart-topping vocalist on a residential rooftop... Well, I’d call that community outreach. Art belongs to the people.

Also, not to name names, but they both have great pitch. Not everyone can say that.”

2. Why do they wear the same outfit over and over again? Is it to confuse us what day it is? Or did it all happen in one day?

“I think it’s brave. Consistent. Sustainable. You all beg idols to be "real", and when they wear the same hoodie three times, suddenly it’s a conspiracy.

Maybe it was one day. Maybe it was five. Maybe they just have matching fashion sense and soul ties. I don’t control the timeline. I barely control... [my artists.]”

3. If they aren’t dating, why not get seen together with their whole respective group?

“That’s a great question. Anyway. Have you seen Huntr/x's performance from the music show when they won last week? Breathtaking.

Group schedules are complicated. Logistics, timing, astrology... Lots and lots of factors. The important thing is everyone’s healthy, the fans are happy, and no one’s getting sued. Probably.”

4. Some eyewitness accounts said they were singing. Are they going for a song collaboration soon?

“Eyewitnesses also say they saw Jinu Saja holding a tiger and whispering ‘my muse’ into the wind. People say a lot of things.

If a collab were happening... I would legally not be allowed to say anything. But if one did happen, hypothetically, would I stream it 42 times on the first day to boost the numbers and support cross-fandom harmony? Absolutely.”

5. Have they ever considered dating?

“Have you ever considered minding your business? Jokes aside, I mean… I’ve considered winning the lottery. Doesn’t mean I’m picking out yachts.

Look, I don’t sit in on their heart-to-hearts. I barely sit at my own desk. Maybe they’ve considered it. Maybe they flipped a coin. Maybe they said "let’s date in another timeline where we’re not both internationally famous and constantly photographed at airports."

Or maybe they’re just two attractive people with suspiciously good chemistry and great skin. Who knows? Not me. Definitely not me. Why would I know. Haha.”

We were granted the rarest of moments: a joint sit-down (well, stand-around) with Huntr/x's Rumi and Saja Boys' Jinu. Two idols whose combined stage presence could melt steel and/or a fandom’s entire Wi-Fi bandwidth.

THE INTERVIEW:

Q1: How are you both today?

Jinu: (tilts head) “Do emotions count on weekdays?”

Rumi: (sips iced coffee aggressively) “Sorry, I needed that. Anyway, I’m on my third life. This one’s going fine.”

Q2: There are rumors about—

Jinu: “Same. I also heard those rumors. Crazy, right?”

Rumi: “I love fiction. Big fan.”

Q3: Are you working on a collab?

Jinu: (shrugs) “We’re always working on something.”

Rumi: “Breathing is technically a collaboration with the universe.”

Q4: Is there anything going on between you two?

Jinu: (winks) “There’s definitely something going on.”

Rumi: (laughs) “Gravity.”

Q5: What do you want to say to fans shipping you two?

Rumi: “I love boats. Ships. Submarines. All of it.”

Jinu: “Uh - same... [and trains(?)].” we're not sure. sorry, fans, he whispered it

- END OF INTERVIEW -

Just to clarify, were we allowed to ask them these questions? Not really, they still answered though.

Did they answer anything directly? Also no.

Did we use our very limited time to make them reenact a fictional scene we wrote ourselves, styled like a fanfic? Absolutely.

Note: We did not use any real fanfics. We respect the sacred separation of Church [Fanfic] and State [K-Pop Journalism].

And friends, when we tell you they committed?

They didn’t just act—they transformed. Lines were delivered. Lives were changed. Eyes were stared into. Silences were heavy with tension. The cameraman gasped twice.

If they weren’t world-famous idols, we have no doubt they would be critically-acclaimed, fan-awarded, slow-burn kings and queens of K-drama land.

We’ll let you be the judge.

📌 Attached is the sneak-peek of their lines!

Hello. We would like to address the recent online speculation surrounding one of our artists RUMI and her brief interaction with fellow performer JINU backstage at the Music Show on July 12.

First and foremost, we thank fans for their consistent support and concern.

It has come to our attention that a short backstage clip has led to speculation of a “disagreement” or “argument” between the two artists.

We would like to clarify that no such conflict occurred.

Rumi and Jinu are longtime friends and colleagues who share a playful and candid dynamic. While their conversations may occasionally appear spirited, we can assure you that there is no ill will or hostility between them.

In fact, the moment in question—now circulating widely online—was, to our understanding, related to a friendly debate over snack preferences and stage outfit colors.

While we appreciate the enthusiasm, we sincerely ask the public to refrain from drawing conclusions based on out-of-context moments.

To reiterate:

• There was no argument or unprofessional conduct
• Rumi and Jinu remain on positive terms (Not dating)
• Security was not involved, unless you count the manager who separated them before they started rating each other’s outfits out loud again

Both artists continue to support one another’s work and are committed to their respective activities. We encourage fans to enjoy their dynamic for what it is: unhinged, affectionate, and largely harmless.

Thank you for your continued support, and we kindly ask for understanding as we allow both artists to breathe in peace between performances.

Good day, everyone.

Regarding recent online activity involving Saja Boys’ Jinu, we are aware of growing fan speculation following his responses to comments under Huntr/x's Rumi’s Instagram posts, where he appears to be accepting challenges to fight.

We acknowledge that Jinu has responded to several fan comments with phrases such as "name time and place," and "YES I CAN!"

And while these statements may appear confrontational, they were made in a lighthearted and unserious context.

To be clear:

• Jinu is NOT in a relationship.
• Jinu has not engaged in physical altercations.
• Jinu has not joined a fight club.
• To our knowledge, none of the Saja Boys have ever joined a fight club.
• No fans have been harmed, challenged to pistols at dawn, or summoned to an arena.
• The agency does not condone violence, though we recognize the comments were made in jest.

Jinu’s sense of humor occasionally blurs the line between historical reenactor and modern pop star.

We kindly ask fans to refrain from challenging him to combat, regardless of how stunning Rumi appears in said photographs.

We thank everyone for their understanding, and we remain committed to promoting peace, respect, and perhaps a little silly banter.

And with that: let’s all continue supporting Saja Boys for their upcoming comeback. For now, stream Soda Pop🥤🫧 on all platforms!

Hi there.

We regret to inform you that as of today, July 21, 2025, Saja Boys member Jinu’s personal phone has been lost or stolen. The matter is currently being investigated, and we are taking immediate action to mitigate any potential risks.

Unfortunately—and we say this with all the patience we can muster—Jinu does not use a phone password. For reasons known only to him, he has continued to believe this is an acceptable life choice. As a result, there is a high likelihood of unauthorized access to his social media and messaging platforms.

We graciously ask that fans and the general public do not engage with or interact with any posts, stories, messages, or content that may appear on Jinu’s accounts at this time. Until further notice, assume nothing is him, even if it sounds exactly like something he would say.

Our team is actively working with platform support to change all login credentials, lock down access, and safeguard personal data.

All of Jinu’s account information and associated data are in the process of being updated, and new security protocols will be enforced going forward (including, we hope, the revolutionary concept of a passcode).

We sincerely apologize for the concern and confusion this may cause and ask for your patience as we resolve this issue. We will provide a follow-up once full control is restored.

As always, thank you for your understanding and continued support of Jinu and the Saja Boys.

To our valued fans and the wider public,

We hope this message finds you well (and ideally, logged off for a bit).

In light of the recent surge of speculation online, the management of Huntr/x would like to address several circulating topics regarding our artist and an artist from Saja Boys.

First and foremost, we respectfully request that fans and media outlets cease emailing, DMing, or attempting to contact our staff for confirmation or denial of the rumored relationship between the two artists.

While we understand the curiosity and investment—some of you could honestly have thriving careers as investigators—the information currently spreading across social media is, at best, incomplete, and at worst, entirely fabricated.

To clarify:

Saja Boys' management has confirmed that their artist’s phone was stolen. As a result, any posts, photos, or messages appearing online that claim to be from or about said artist should be treated with skepticism.

We are currently coordinating with Saja Boys' team to investigate the situation fully and ensure the privacy and security of both artists are protected.

A joint statement from both management teams will be released tomorrow to provide accurate context and address the public directly.

We ask for your patience, discretion, and common sense until that time comes.

We deeply appreciate your love and support, and we understand that fans are excited, confused, and in some cases—very online.

But please remember that our artists are human beings. Their privacy matters. Their safety matters. And no amount of screenshots, shadows, wine glasses, or similar bedsheets should override that.

Thank you for your understanding.

P.S. We saw the threads. Impressive work. Still not confirmation.

The K-pop world is buzzing this week after new rumors surfaced claiming that fan-favorite couple Jinu (of Saja Boys) and Rumi (of Huntrix) may be headed for a shocking divorce. Though the two have often been praised for their chemistry and playful dynamic in interviews, recent online chatter has sparked speculation that all may not be well behind the scenes.

The whispers began after Jinu announced he would be missing the upcoming Idol Star Athletics Championships due to illness. While fans sent him warm messages of support, eagle-eyed netizens noted that Rumi did not publicly comment on his update—a silence that some took as a sign of tension. Others pointed out that the two have not been seen interacting on camera or social media for several weeks, fueling theories of a possible split.

Adding to the speculation, a blurry fan-taken photo circulated online last night, allegedly showing Rumi dining with friends without her wedding ring. The image, though inconclusive, immediately trended on forums, with fans debating whether it was genuine or simply a case of misleading angles. One commenter wrote, “Maybe she just took it off for comfort, but honestly the timing feels suspicious.”

Industry insiders, however, caution against jumping to conclusions. One anonymous staff member stated, “They’ve both been extremely busy with their schedules, and sometimes idols keep their private lives more guarded. People shouldn’t assume too much.”

Neither Jinu nor Rumi has responded to the divorce rumors, and both agencies have remained silent, leaving fans to anxiously speculate. Some supporters insist the couple is simply weathering normal relationship hurdles under the harsh glare of public scrutiny, while others brace themselves for an official statement in the weeks to come.

For now, the truth remains uncertain—but one thing is clear: Jinu and Rumi’s relationship continues to capture the attention of the entire industry, whether in moments of love, laughter, or controversy.

Huntrix’s Rumi left a lasting impression at the 2025 Idol Star Athletics Championships as she brought home two gold medals—one in women’s pistol shooting and another in women’s team archery with fellow members Zoey and Mira. Her skill, teamwork, and sincerity turned the competition into a celebration for fans worldwide.

Rumi began with the pistol shooting event, where her calm focus and flawless aim carried her to the top of the podium. Her perfect final shots earned loud applause from the crowd, with fans praising her as “the sniper of ISAC.”

She then joined Zoey and Mira for the women’s team archery finals. Together, the trio displayed incredible synergy. Mira’s steady composure, Zoey’s quick precision, and Rumi’s accuracy created an unbeatable rhythm that secured them the gold. Their embrace after the victory quickly became one of the most beloved images of ISAC 2025.

Fans celebrated the trio’s success with edits and captions that spread quickly online. “Three queens, one crown” and “Huntrix owns the arena” were among the top trending fan-made slogans. Many also highlighted the group’s bond, calling their teamwork “a gold medal in friendship.”

Beyond the competition, Rumi touched fans with a meaningful moment off the field. After speculation about her wedding ring, she quietly revealed it, hanging on a chain beneath her turtleneck. Smiling, she pressed a kiss to the ring, then to her husband, before tucking it back close to her heart. Fans responded with warmth, writing comments like, “She keeps it where it matters most.”

With her double golds, Zoey and Mira’s shining teamwork, and her heartfelt gesture to fans, Rumi’s presence at ISAC 2025 became a story of not only triumph in athletics but also sincerity and love. It is safe to say Huntrix did not just win medals this year—they won hearts as well.
