Video: A grainy but clear 15-second clip of two tall men in hoodies. One (Haru) is laughing and playfully shoving a piece of Hotteok toward the other (Raiven), who is leaning in with a rare, crinkled-eye smile.
Caption: Proof that listening to your mom pays off 😭 She dragged me to Gwangjang Market and I saw THESE TWO. I waited until they left to post because they looked so peaceful. Look at that smile!!

Post: [Video Clip] I was working at the stall and didn't realize it was him until he lowered his mask to eat the kimbap. My hands were shaking. I didn't ask for an autograph because I didn't want to disturb them.

@NetizenK: Wait, Fei Entertainment? Isn't that the agency run by Actor Sunghoon's sister?
@JusticeForHaru: Yes! He was also seen at TRace Ent. recently. He's the one everyone was calling the "90s Vibe Visual."

@ShipperAlpha: "In their own world" ... my RaiRu heart is screaming.
@K-Buzz: This is the best Raiven content we've had in months. He looks healthy.
@AntiSasaeng: Thank God no one doxed the location until after. Let them eat in peace!

He's seriously handsome. His face is so small even with a mask.
Is that the guy from Se-hee's livestream? She said he's in a new drama.
Raiven eating street food? That's the real shocker. He's so picky.
The way Haru looks at him is so sweet. Like a big brother... or more?
The visual chemistry is insane. If they put them in a drama together, Korea would collapse.
they must be really close. I haven't seen Raiven sighting outside his company.
Look at Raiven's hand on Haru's shoulder. He looks so comfortable.
I'm glad fans are being respectful. They deserve a day off.
Fei Entertainment is picking up real gems.
I'm stanning Haru starting today. That height, that jawline... wow.
