The K-pop industry has been blessed with another high-profile couple in 2022. GOT7 and H1GHR MUSIC’s JAY B is reportedly dating YouTuber PURE.D. The latter is a special effects makeup artist and has over 476k subscribers on her channel.

On July 7, 2022, Wikitree published a report stating that representatives from both artists’ agencies gave a joint statement confirming the relationship. The duo have been dating for nine months after meeting through an acquaintance.

Many people initially took the news with a pinch of salt as Wikitree is not perceived as an official or genuine source of information. As per Campaign Asia, the platform “allows users to post and edit editorial content in data in a manner similar to Wikipedia.” Neither of the artists officially addressed the news, so fans were reluctant to believe the development.

Fans react to the GOT7 member's dating news

JayB dating? I’m so happy for him🤌🤌

On June 27, Wikitree had reported that GOT7 member Youngjae was dating soloist LOVEY. However, Youngjae’s agency, Sublime, had released an official statement denying the report. They had clarified that the two are just colleagues.

Hence, fans were doubtful of the publication’s “exclusive” report regarding JAY B and the SFX artist. They were also skeptical of Wikitree as it released reports on both members’ relationships in a span of less than 10 days. As per a fan, the platform has been actively covering GOT7’s achievements recently.

Some commented that the idols’ private lives should remain private and that they “deserve peace.”

Why does wikitree keep exposing artist's relationships omg let them have privacy 😭😭😭
So wikitree target are now GOT7? It's like they want to reveal all the members who aren't singleCan't their private lives stay private? They are all almost 30 so most of fans wouldn't throw a fit if they are dating or get marriedThose guys deserve peace in their private lives

On the other hand, hardly any negative comments can be found about JAY B being in a relationship. The reactions were mostly hilarious and filled with memes.
