[Asia Economy Reporter Choi Eun-young] As rumors of a romantic relationship between Girls' Generation's Taeyeon and VIXX's Ravi spread, a past scene from the show '1 Night 2 Days' featuring him has recently become a hot topic online.

On the 1st of last month, Ravi appeared on KBS 2TV's '1 Night 2 Days' Season 4, where he completed missions such as self-introduction, health check, and physical fitness test with the members, taking time to discover feelings he was unaware of.

In that episode, art psychology counselor Park Kyung-hwa analyzed the members' psychology through their drawings from a live drawing contest.

Ravi's work was a heart-shaped tree titled "I want to grow a tree of love." Ravi explained, "Originally, I was going to draw a male and female couple next to the tree, but I messed it up, so I tried to cover it with another tree, but that also failed. With only 5 minutes left, I hurriedly made a heart tree."

Upon seeing the drawing, the counselor asked, "Are you currently dating someone, Ravi?" Ravi, embarrassed, replied, "No, I'm not."

The counselor analyzed, "The tree represents the unconscious self-image, and Ravi's tree is very large. Unusually, the canopy is drawn in the shape of a heart. It shows a desire to reveal oneself. Commonly called an attention seeker, the tree at the center says 'I am Ravi.'"

She continued, "You mixed red and orange; red signifies strong power. It seems you want to act decisively and have many goals. Mixing orange and yellow shows a desire to express yourself. You want to look cool and be seen well by others," she explained.

Meanwhile, on the morning of the 27th, a media outlet reported, "Taeyeon and Ravi enjoyed a Christmas date," claiming that their relationship evolved from senior-junior colleagues to lovers and that they have been dating for a year. They also alleged that Taeyeon's guest appearance on Ravi's Naver NOW show 'question mark' on the 21st was a secret date disguised as a promotion for a new song.

Following the dating rumors, Taeyeon's agency SM Entertainment denied the claims, stating, "The two are just close senior-junior colleagues working on music together, not lovers." Ravi's agency GroovL1N responded with "We are checking."

Despite the agencies' denials, netizens reacted to the broadcast video with comments such as "Was this predicting Ravi's dating rumors?", "It would be nice if the rumors about Ravi and Taeyeon are true," and "I've come for a pilgrimage," among others.
