Full Text of Statement
Hello, I am writing this post in regard to the recent post circulating social media, a photo of Anton and I holding hands while he was visiting New Jersey this past month on his break.
I am hoping to clear up any confusion on the matter as there are many claiming that Anton and I are dating because of the photo, but I am not and have not ever dated him. I deny all claims of that statement.
Anton and I have been friends since we were young, and assign in the rest of these photos, we were in a group setting without other close friends of ours, and continued to hang out in group settings throughout the day.
Seeing Anton is not as easy as it once was, and he had come home for the first time in years. To remember that day, I posted that photo, obviously on my private Instagram, on which I post many photos of my friends and I, but was unaware that it would cause this large of an issue.
Please do not make any conclusions on the basis of a singular photo.
As the alleged girlfriend of Anton, has cleared her point, it seems the fans who waited for the official statement are gathered around to protect Anton. Meanwhile, RIIZE is having their first fan concert.
