Previously, Chaeyoung was speculated to be dating the tattoo artist due to multiple “evidences” as compiled by netizens. These included photographs of them going to the mart, supposed couple rings, and the tattoo artist uploading drawings that look similar to Chaeyoung. Chaeyoung’s younger brother was also previously following Chim Hwasa on Instagram.
