ATEEZ Wooyoung and Sparkling’s Celine Confirmed to Be Dating 🔥 … But Wasn’t She Talking to Hongjoong?!

 Both KQ Entertainment and SunBeam Entertainment dropped a bombshell today, confirming that ATEEZ’s Wooyoung and Sparkling’s Celine are officially dating. However, fans can’t help but point out that KQ had previously confirmed Celine and Hongjoong were in a “talking stage” earlier this year, sparking a wave of chaos and speculation online.

At the time, KQ had issued a statement saying, “Hongjoong and Celine have been communicating closely, but there is no romantic relationship.” Fans thought that was the end of it—until now. With today’s news, questions are swirling: Did things really end between Celine and Hongjoong? Did Wooyoung step in while his leader was still figuring things out? And most importantly, what’s the vibe in the ATEEZ dorms right now?

Fans Speculate: What Happened Between Celine and Hongjoong?

While many fans are celebrating Wooyoung and Celine’s newfound romance, others are digging deeper into the timeline—and the gaps are raising eyebrows. With KQ confirming that Hongjoong and Celine were in a talking stage earlier this year, the sudden shift to Wooyoung has fans asking if there was overlap.

One fan wrote, “Talking stage doesn’t mean exclusive, but this feels… messy. Did Wooyoung shoot his shot while Hongjoong was still typing his reply?” Another added, “Wooyoung has always been bold. He probably didn’t even WAIT for Hongjoong to be done. Just straight-up said, ‘I got this.’”

Others are wondering if Celine deliberately shifted gears, with one fan commenting, “Hongjoong is the ‘dream it, plan it, build it’ type. Wooyoung is the ‘live in the moment’ guy. Maybe she wanted the thrill.”

Spicy Theories About the ATEEZ Dorms

Of course, fans aren’t just speculating about the timeline—they’re also imagining the chaos brewing in ATEEZ’s dorm.

One fan joked, “Wooyoung and Hongjoong share a dorm. Are they flipping coins to see who should pack his stuffs now ??” Another wrote, “Hongjoong probably can’t even look at Wooyoung right now. This is why you don’t mix business and pleasure.”

But the spiciest fan theory is that Celine might still have lingering feelings for Hongjoong. “What if this isn’t over? What if Hongjoong and Wooyoung both think they’re winning, but she’s just keeping her options open??”

The Aftermath: What Happens Now?

With ATEEZ gearing up for a comeback and Sparkling continuing promotions, fans are bracing for more drama. Will Wooyoung and Celine stay strong in the face of public scrutiny? And will Hongjoong address this situation—or will he stay silent?

The hashtags #Wooyoung, #Celine , #SPARTEEZ, #HongjoongDeservedBetter, and #ATEEZLoveTriangle are already trending, and fans are calling this the most chaotic dating reveal of the year.

What’s YOUR take on this messy romance? Is Wooyoung a bold hero, or did he cross a line? And where does this leave Hongjoong in the mix?
