And while there was the case of one displeased fan breaking their BLACKPINK CD and posting it online to show their anger…
Fellow BLINKs spoke up against this sort of action.
- I don’t understand why people act this way.
- There are still people who do things like that…? Thank you for leaving the fanclub.
- What is that… So rude.
A lot of fans are also calling out Dispatch, saying following celebrities around while taking paparazzi pictures of their personal life is an invasion of privacy.
This is not the first time fans have expressed their distaste for Dispatch’s methods throughout the years of Dispatch releasing countless scandals on famous celebrities. Dispatch is known for releasing a dating scandal on New Year’s Day.
A petition has started in Korea for Dispatch to be shut down and celebrities’ personal space and rights to be respected.
- I hope Dispatch burns…
- I’ve always felt that what Dispatch is doing is no different to stalking.
- Dispatch is too crazy about this and steps over the line by following celebrities around.
Dispatch has not responded to the backlash.
Towards Jennie and Kai though, fans seem to be supportive for the most part, regardless of whether that ship JenKai or not.
In the past, idols involved in scandals or in relationships received a lot of negative reactions from their fans, but it seems that things have changed for the better over time.
Many BLINKs and EXO-Ls are saying that as long as their idols are happy, they are also happy.
"SM Entertainment confirms EXO Kai and BLACKPINK Jennie are dating"
"They have good feelings towards each other"
I'M GENUINELY HAPPY FOR YOU GUYS!! I LOVE YOU
