Raina shared how hard it was to date as idols without access to phones. Some believe the no-phone comment was about Seventeen’s Hoshi as the duo was embroiled in dating rumours in 2016, when Seventeen was a rookie group. The boy band debuted just a year before the controversy. Seventeen members have also revealed in the past that they were expected not to be allowed access to their phones during their early days.
She said their agencies forced them to break up, though they briefly got back together in secret. While she didn’t confirm if they’re still together, Raina criticised the K-pop industry’s strict dating bans, saying idols should be free to love and part ways naturally.
