there were apparently two matching keychains that soobin had: one was a smaller puppy keychain that the girl at lotte world gave him (https://x.com/translatingTXT/status/1916837027829498032), and the other was a shiba keychain that did actually match with yoojun cuz they both had the same one. pic of soobin's here: https://x.com/politesoobin/status/1915183748511088893

and yoojun's puppy keychain can be found here: https://m.weibo.cn/status/5174186110355256

actually, other than getting the keychain stories mixed up, the cfan's weibo post i just linked above had a great take on the rest of the evidence showing how much effort soobin put into looking like he was dating yoojun. one really can't come up with an alternative explanation for why he would fit coupley trips with yoojun into such a busy schedule, other than that they were actually dating or that soobin really wanted to make people think they are dating. and since we know that soobin is dating yeonjun and yoojun was just a yeonjun proxy (see all the evidence on my account that i haven't properly compiled again yet LOL), then by logical deduction, the only plausible conclusion is that soobin was trying to make it look like he's dating yoojun.

Weibo post translation:

"📣 When there are too many coincidences, they’re not coincidences anymore. It’s the same pattern every time: after finishing up and returning to Korea from somewhere, they can't wait to go on a date the next day.

March 9th: Incheon concert ended. March 10th: Spent the day with Yoojun at a theme park.

March 11th: Flew to Japan. March 12-13th: Did the Japan concerts. March 14th: Returned to Korea. March 15-16th: They hung out in Gyeongju.

May 11th: Macau concert ended. May 12th: He returned to Korea from Macau. May 13th: They showed up together in Taiwan… May 15th: Returned to Korea from Taiwan. May 16th: Flew from Korea to Japan…

I really can't convince myself that they simply have such a good friendship that they do this. Soobin was clearly exhausted from the concert but didn't rest after returning to Korea, instead he rushed to a third location to have fun with Yoojun. Their relationship is too good. You’re clearly so busy, yet you carve out time to go have fun with this “good friend.” I don’t get it.

You said a little girl gave you the "line friends" puppy keychain at Lotte World, so why did the other half appear on his bag? Honestly, I can choose not to believe the other coincidences and deceive myself that they are just good friends. But this couple's charm and puppy keychains can't be a coincidence. I think you weren't lying about the little girl giving it to you; she probably asked you to choose a gift, and you chose this one. It must have been a set with two items. After she gave it to you, you gave the other one to him.

Addendum: What normal straight guy would have such an intimate relationship with a male friend? Matching bracelets, matching charms, plus a couple's keychain? Straight men, tell me if that makes you feel uneasy. The puppy is the most irrefutable evidence.

And May 14 is Valentine's Day, okay? (Note: May 14 is "Rose Day" in Korea which is a romantic holiday.) On the 12th, after the Macau concert ended, he flew back to Korea with his teammates; on the 13th he went with this man to Taiwan and spent a three-day Valentine’s Day holiday. What more proof do you need. And that man had long since picked this date (during a video-call fansign he asked fans what the weather in Taiwan is like in mid-May). Why not choose some other date? Why specifically Valentine’s Day? He only had three days to squeeze in time to play. He couldn't squeeze out three days on any other day, but he could specifically squeeze out three days for Valentine's Day, right?

These two are just “ordinary friends,” just “good friends" who spent Valentine’s Day in Taipei, putting on couple accessories, wearing identical jeans, and taking photos with the same hairstyle from a couple's POV, right?"
