Kangmin of the boy group "VERIVERY" and Julie of the girl group "KISS OF LIFE" have spoken out about the Love Affair rumors surrounding the leak of surveillance camera footage.
On the 29th, a surveillance camera video of a couple enjoying a date in what appears to be a private room in a restaurant was spread on the Chinese social networking site Weibo. The man in the video was sitting on the sofa.
He stroked the woman's hair as she lay next to him and gave her a back hug, showing natural physical contact. The woman was also seen smoking an e-cigarette.
Some interviewees, both male and female, chose "VERIV"
