After being eliminated from 'R U Next?', Chanel moved to Attrakt and debuted in April 2024 as a member of the renewed five-member multinational girl group Fifty Fifty.
Evidence that the woman who drank with Huening Kai at Orange Room was Moon Chanel:
The woman in the photo is wearing jeans and a white top, which matches the clothes Chanel has been seen wearing.
Additionally, it is claimed that the bag Huening Kai is carrying is similar to Chanel's.
On the other hand, some fans claim that Huening Kai met his sister, Huening Lea, that day, suggesting that the woman in question is his sister.
As the controversy spread and dating rumors with Chanel surfaced, TXT's Huening Kai directly addressed the situation through a Weverse message.
He stated that he was simply with an acquaintance (confirmed not to be his sister).
He explained that he couldn't leave a woman alone in that situation (intoxicated), so he took her home and returned to the dorm immediately.
In short, he clarified that he met a female acquaintance he hadn't seen in a while, had drinks with her, and then took her home.
He stated that they are not in a relationship and that he simply hugged a drunk female friend. It remains to be seen how fans will react to this.
