NCT Fans Furious At KBS News’ Coverage Of Johnny And Haechan’s Alleged Sex Scandal
Recently, KBS2 covered serious allegations against NCT members Johnny and Haechan, who were accused of having a five-way with three women in Japan.
The segment discussed the potential link between these unverified rumors and a significant drop in SM Entertainment’s stock prices, emphasizing the impact of such allegations.

The rumors started when a Twitter @kira_ceo_main, allegedly managed by a prominent figure in Japan’s nightlife industry, posted a series of photos and a controversial tweet. The tweet specifically named Johnny and Haechan, claiming they participated in a five-way with three Japanese girls. Notably, two of them are alleged to be NCT fans.
The post, which included a screenshot from one of the women’s social media accounts showing a hotel room key, was swiftly deleted. However, the rumors took off on social media and quickly garnered attention. They even made it on national TV through KBS2’s coverage.

Other fans are questioning the nature of the rumor and the “unnecessary” mention of it on television, with a section of the fanbase even suggesting the rumors may be a setup against NCT and its members.

The majority of the fans, however, are calling for SM Entertainment to take action. The lack of response from the agency has led fans to lose faith in the company’s ability to “protect” its artists. Thus, fans have even suggested the NCT members should leave SM.
a company that doesnt even do the bare minimum to protect their own artists is not worth staying in i hope they get their own personal lawyers to sue everyone involved in this and then rip up their contracts and leave
