Rumors

When Anna took her hiatus it was because she was pregnant (2015)

When did this become a rumor?: in 2015 when she revealed her long term relationship with her late fiancé

Was it believed?: A quite a few people believed that the rumour was true despite the lack of evidence and the rumour was used a lot by Anna's antis against her

They also clarified again that the reason for her hiatus was because she had an illness and she had to undergo multiple treatments and surgeries.

Anna and her late fiancé were actually already married (2017)

When did this become a rumor?: in mid January- February 2017 this rumour began circling because they had announced to her fans that their wedding ceremony was going to be held mid March so people thought that the couple had already registered her marriage or were about to register their marriage.

Was it believed?: Yes, most people believed the rumour mostly because there was a bit of evidence that pointed to them having registered the marriage like in February there were a few images of Anna that went around where it looked like she had two rings on her ring finger- her engagement ring and a wedding band

Did Starship respond to this rumour: no, because the couple were going to get married soon and they were going to put out a statement after they got married.

Was it true?: To all of Anna's fan's disappointment this rumour sadly was not true, after the death of Anna's fiancé and the registration of his death some parts of his death certificate were made public one of these included his marital state which was under 'single but in a domestic partnership with Singer Kim Soyeon'

Anna and her labels used sajaegi (2019)

When did this become a rumour: after Anna's Ep Rewind hit number 1 netizens accused her and Nextar Ent. and even went so for to report to the police

Was it believed?: Sadly this rumour was believed by quite lot of people in Korea however Anna's fans in Japan didn't not believe the rumours because of how popular she is there and how quickly her popularity there is rising there

Was it true?: No, Nextar and Anna voluntarily underwent investigation and it was proven that the rumours were false by the police, the prosecution, investigative organizations, and the civil courts. Nextar later went on to release a statement explaining the situation and filed criminal lawsuits against those who spread malicious rumours against Anna.

Anna was a bully in middle school (2020)

When did this become a rumor?: in January 2020 an anonymous account on Twitter posted a series of tweets accusing Anna of bullying her from in their first and second year at  SOPA high school.

Was it believed?: No, because it is well known that when Anna was in her first 2 years of high school she was still under SM and she went to high school in Japan for a year then transferred to the United States for another year and then finished her last two years of high school at SOPA so the statement from the anonymous account did not make any sense nor did the timings link with reality

Did Nextar respond to this rumour: Yes, then denied the accusations and threatened to take legal actions against those who made false accusations
