Photos of the truck reveal messages calling for Joshua to leave SEVENTEEN.

We are against dating/ Lipsyncing/PDA
A celebrity who tramples on the hard work of their members and the sincerity of their fans has no future!

The pictures have understandably become a lightning rod of controversy. Many Korean netizens stated that although they were disappointed by the idol’s dating allegations, they did not want Joshua to leave the group. Some Korean fans claimed that the truck was sent by foreign fans due to the way the message was written.

“I get that your mad, but shouldn’t write someone’s name in red…”
“It’s a relief that they made it obvious that it was sent by foreign fans.”
“I’m sure they are all dating, LOL. It’s funny to say you’re against dating when the group has been caught dating many times.”
“Seriously, Joshua f@cked up the fandom’s vibe.”
“Korean Carats have simply disowned them in our hearts. We don’t send protest trucks.”
“LOL, this is hilarious.”
“Lipsync… Why is that in there?”
“There has never been a time that a protest truck was sent for SEVENTEEN calling for a member’s exit. I hope they are shocked and are scared of this situation, LOL.”
“Ah, this is so cringe. Stuff like this is ugh.”
“Only if they (people who sent the protest truck) chose their words more wisely.”

Recently Joshua has been under fire after it was revealed that he had brought his alleged girlfriend to a concert. Read more about it in the link below.
