Zhou Jieqiong, a Chinese member of K-pop girl band Pristin who is also known by her Korean name Kyulkyung, has denied rumours that she has been dating Wang Sicong, the only son of Chinese billionaire Wang Jianlin.
A spokesperson for the group’s agency, Pledis Entertainment, said the company might take legal action if the speculation continued.
Her Chinese agency, XCSS Entertainment, added: “The rumour is far from the truth and we demand that the rumormongers delete their posts or they will face legal action.”
The rumours started when users of Chinese social networks, including Sina Weibo, on Sunday started claiming that Zhou had gone on a trip to Japan with Wang.
Wang, 31, founder of the entertainment company Banana Culture, is the only son of Wang Jianlin, chairman of China’s largest real estate developer, Dalian Wanda Group.
