He was allegedly spotted during tour.
Bit, also known as Minjae, is making headlines again as rumors swirl regarding his personal life. The BAE173 and soon-to-debut group member Double One has been alleged to be dating, stirring quite the buzz among fans.
Last month, during fan meetings across Japan, which included stops in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo, Bit was supposedly spotted on a date—a detail revealed through claims shared on social media. The post included two images appearing to show the idol holding hands with a woman.
Fans were quick to express their dissatisfaction with Bit’s timing, voicing concerns over the implications of his actions during promotional activities abroad. One user on X expressed frustration, saying:
“Calling your girlfriend over during your Japan fan meeting vacation to go on a date? Minjae, at least cover your face. Even if you’re an unpopular member, isn’t being an idol still your job? How long are you going to keep being a burden to the group?”
Bit recently caught the spotlight when he participated in the survival show Starlight Boys, making it to the final episode before being eliminated. BAE173, which debuted in 2020 with their album Intersection: Spark, continues to navigate the complexities that come with fandom expectations, especially in light of such revelations.
Regardless of the backlash, fans remain supportive, with BAE173’s community rallying around their idols while voicing concerns over overall treatment from their management. The conversation continues as movements among fans grow, aiming to address the treatment of artists across their label.
