In light of the announcement of Hyuna and Edawn’s dating news, the board of SM entertainment thought it would be a nice promotional tactic if they did the same but better with their youngest, and growing boy group. So an article was released and a statement was delivered as the final blow.

NCT Jaemin was then announced to be dating—

With NCT Jeno. 

Both Jeno and Jaemin initially refused to cooperate, because, yeah, hetero for life. But what SM says go, goes. So like it or not, NCT Jaemin and Jeno are now dating, in the eyes of the public.
