A netizen is said to have spotted Jung Kook and Lynn at said place, took a photo of the rumored couple and later uploaded it on her Weibo blog. She captioned it, "Kim Jong Kook and Lynn Hung went to the supermarket where my sister is working."

Since it got uploaded online, the photo has gone viral and has since been the content of conversations and discussions among Chinese and South Korean fans alike, mostly agreeing that Jong Kook and Lynn are in a romantic relationship.

Netizens have mixed reactions over the issue. Some have offered their blessing to Jong Kook and Lynn, wishing them luck on their relationship despite the lack of confirmation.

Other netizens have argued that they can see microphones attached to the clothes of the two celebrities, insisting that they are not dating and are merely filming a program.

On the other hand, Lynn, who ended her seven-year relationship with her former boyfriend, Hong Kong singer-actor Aaron Kwok, last year, has once made an appearance on the South Korean variety program 'Running Man'. During the show, she teamed up with Jong Kook and fellow Chinese actress Liu Yu Xin.

Yu Xin then revealed that the model 'loves' the South Korean entertainer so much, relating it to the incident wherein Lynn refused to exchange partners with her.

Furthermore, during the show, Jong Kook praised the model for her good looks and later offered his heat pack to her since she was shivering due to the cold weather.

Neither Jong Kook nor Lynn have come forward to react on the issue.
