An official from HyunA's label CUBE Entertainment stated that the two K-pop idols only went to Okinawa together to shoot a music video. They added that they are not dating and that they acted like a couple in their flight as they were filming a scene.
Lee Joon's company J.Tune Entertainment also clarified that they were only filming a music video and that they are close friends so people might have misunderstood their actions.
In contrast to what CUBE Entertainment stated, no airplane scene ever appeared on HyunA's "Bubble Pop!" music video.

He continued that he and HyunA were indeed on the same plane on the way back to Korea and that they got close through the filming of the music video so he thought it would be weird if he sat far from her seat.
