Netizens reacted to the dating news with criticism amid Choi Jung Hoon’s father’s past resurfacing.

• “Sigh, her image just got ruined.”
• “She must be just as bad as he is.”
• “His family is criminally affiliated with Kim Hak Eui, but Choi Jung Hoon came out on I Live Alone and acted as if he’s not rich.”
• “Wow, they seriously aren’t meant for one another. Han Ji Min could do so much better.”
• “How could she not have known when she said she was his fan? People crying about their unnie are so hilarious.”
• “I hoped she would meet someone nice but ended up stooping to his level.”
• “He acted like he was poor but it turns out he’s from a rich family and soon became the son of a criminal. His music is good though.”
