ATEEZ’s San Posts Shirtless Photo After Addressing Dating Rumors… His Impressive Back Muscles Steal the Spotlight [MHN: Feed]

(MHN Reporter Kim So-young) As ATEEZ member San recently personally dismissed the dating rumors surrounding him, he has captured fans' attention by sharing an update from Italy that reveals his bold physique.

On the 27th, San uploaded several photos to his SNS along with the brief greeting, “Ciao.” In the released photos, San is seen enjoying a relaxing break aboard a yacht against the backdrop of Italy's exotic lake scenery. In particular, he stood by the boat's railing with his shirt boldly removed, revealing his well-built back muscles and broad shoulders, drawing admiration.

Previously, a video of San walking with a woman on a street in Milan, where he had visited to attend Fashion Week, circulated mainly in online communities, sparking dating rumors. In response, his agency KQ Entertainment explained, “The woman in question is an associate of the brand, and they were on their way to purchase necessary items accompanied by local security personnel and a manager.”

San himself also directly drew the line through a fan communication platform, stating, “The dating rumors are not true at all.” He continued, “It is extremely unsettling that people follow me everywhere I go for my schedule. Secretly taking photos is clearly wrong, so do not commit a crime before you get caught,” issuing a strong warning to sasaeng fans against unauthorized photography.

Having put the dating incident behind him, San is also solidifying his presence as a global fashion icon. He is active on the global stage as the global ambassador for Italian luxury brand Dolce & Gabbana and as the main model for the 2026–27 fall/winter campaign featuring the participation of Steven Meisel. This visit to Milan was also made to attend a Vogue World showcase and collection events.

Meanwhile, San, who debuted in 2018 as ATEEZ's main dancer and lead vocalist, has served as the central pillar of the group's performances, leading numerous hit albums including the “TREASURE,” “ZERO : FEVER,” and “THE WORLD” series.
