"Even ASTRO was there. MJ was f*cking handsome. We really had so much fun. He¡¯s so good at drinking. But anyway, it¡¯s Cha Eunwoo for me," Koreaboo reported.
ATEEZ
Another screenshot alleged that ATEEZ's Mingi attended the gathering and misrepresented his identity. According to the post, one girl claimed,
"One of the oppas said he was a director at a skincare clinic, so I was like, 'Oh, I see.' I really had no clue who he was at the time, but it turned out he was ATEEZ's Mingi. No wonder everyone kept calling him Mingi¡ªI just thought it was his real name."
ENHYPEN and Stray Kids
Another screenshot suggested that members of ENHYPEN and Stray Kids were also present at the gathering. However, it remains unclear whether the claims refer to specific individuals from these groups or suggest that the entire groups were in attendance.

MONSTA X
Hyungwon faced backlash last year after photos of him drinking with women surfaced online, once again stirring conversations around his previous dating rumours. Adding to the speculation, new claims suggest that THE BOYZ's Sunwoo is currently dating Hyungwon's ex-girlfriend, intensifying fan chatter.
Minhyuk's name also entered the spotlight after an anonymous user on X (formerly Twitter) shared an alleged photo of him on a date with his rumored girlfriend at Seoul Forest on Memorial Day (June 6). Separately, Sunwoo is also rumored to be dating Instagram influencer @Juuhana, according to various circulating fan posts.
"The girl Hyungwon from MONSTA X was dating switched over to Kim Sunwoo, so Minhyuk went to the waiting room and told Kim Sunwoo to get his act together."
