The rumors arose in light of BE'O's appearance on a past broadcast with fellow rappers San E, Malkey, and Errday on the Youtube channel "맥랩의 맥너겟TV" over a year ago. During the video, the rappers talked about numerous topics.

Specifically, the channel's host McRap had asked BE'O if he has a girlfriend and wanted to know more about his past relationships. While BE'O had revealed he isn't currently in a relationship, McRap had commented, "How will you be able to date anyone else after dating that person?"
San E chimed in, saying that BE'O had written a lot of love songs about his ex-girlfriend.

The Youtube video has since then been gaining attention following BE'O's growing popularity on "Show Me the Money," and netizens began researching on girl group members who had attended the famous School of Performing Arts Seoul (SOPA) - BE'O's high school - and Lia was revealed to have been in the same class as him.
Considering that SOPA is well-known to have idols, actors and actresses, trainees, and models as its students, it's not a surprise that BE'O's ex-girlfriend is an idol.
However, nothing has been confirmed.
