To understand why this rumor gained traction among fans, you have to look at the shifting allegiances across the season. Eunice has historically served as the loyal, quirky confidante in the larger social circle, while Min Ho evolved from a self-absorbed socialite into a genuine romantic contender for Kitty. Their interactions throughout Season 3 were purely platonic, yet deliberate editing made several scenes read ambiguously.
Eunice sought Min Ho’s help precisely because of his family's high-profile privacy protocols. When Eunice agreed to shield another student facing a family crisis, she needed someone who understood discretion. Min Ho lent his driver and his discreet family doctor contact, entirely unaware that his chivalry would be weaponized against him. The series planted red herrings throughout the final four episodes, relying on Min Ho's guarded demeanor to mislead the audience.
