Doubt it since it's the clade that South Slavs have the most. Not sure if OP was talking about this exact subclade though

What I find weird is how Romanians have such high I2a-Din even though they aren't Slavs. Perhaps it's due to genetic drift

It's also high in Vlachs of Albania, 30-40% I2a1b frequency.
