In 2021, it was announced that soloist Crush and Red Velvet‘s Joy were dating.
Netizens looked back at the chemistry between the duo, along with all the photos and posts, to see hints. Yet, since the announcement, the two have stayed very low-key with their relationship.
Recently, netizens noticed that all of the photos on Crush’s Instagram with Joy had been deleted.

Netizens noticed that the number of posts on Crush’s Instagram had gone down and that all of his photos with Joy had been removed.
Only a snippet of their song “Mayday” was still there but the thumbnail was black.
Some thought of taking the news with a pinch of salt because Joy still follows the singer on Instagram.
crush apparently removed all his pics of joy from his instagram.
idk what this means, but i’d take it with a grain of salt because joy still follows him. pic.twitter.com/HCH4dOmFxW

It wasn’t surprising that others read about the change in his Instagram and that maybe the relationship had changed between Crush and Joy, as it was a very unexpected and random thing to happen.

Since the two started dating, social media activity has led to a lot of speculation about Joy and Crush. Yet, with no official announcement from the companies, it seems like the two are going strong, and it could just be a decision Crush made for aesthetic or promotional reasons.
