Little did K-pop fans know that a song by EXO's Baekhyun would predict Jihyo and Kang Daniel's freshly announced romance.
Baekhyun released the song UN Village as part of his newest album City Lights on July 10. The sweet song touches on a couple's dating experience in UN Village, Seoul, a high-end estate where many celebrities, foreign dignitaries and other wealthy folks reside.
It turned out that Daniel and Twice's Jihyo are both residents of UN Village.
Dispatch, a South Korean media outlet, reported today (Aug 5) that Jihyo and Kang Daniel have been seeing each other since January.
They were seen on a date in the neighbourhood of Hannam, Seoul on Aug 1 after reportedly meeting at Daniel's house, with Jihyo driving there in her own car.
In photos released by Dispatch, both had concealed their faces with surgical masks.
According to a source close to both of the stars, "A sunbae (senior) close to Kang Daniel and Jihyo introduced the two to each other."
Dispatch also reported that members of girl group Twice were aware of the relationship. One of the members reportedly ferried Jihyo to and from Daniel's place for one of their dates.
Both agencies have confirmed the couple's relationship.
'WE SHIP THEM'
Instead of seeing red, Twice's fandom, known as Once, and Daniel's fans are seeing the humour in the entire situation.
On Melon, a South Korean online music store and music-streaming site, the term "UN village" trended.
Many netizens called Baekhyun a psychic for 'predicting' the relationship with his song.
Twitter user @KAICIFER commented on the power of Baekyun's song for single people:
