— Article Title
This article was shared in a now-viral post on a Korean forum where netizens largely blasted the author. Some implied that the article seemed to continue the alleged media play HYBE has been accused of.
- “Was she holding them hostage from leaving? People who were worried about how they were getting home probably just left early. Even at concerts, when encores drag on, many people leave early to catch their buses or trains. Honestly, I’m curious if the person who wrote this ever feels ashamed for putting out such a meaningless story…”
- “Will you also be criticizing singers who do long encores at concerts? LOL.”
- “This is the same as complaining about a concert being too long, lol.”
- “The actual audience members were clapping, though, lol.”
- “Reporter, the electricity wasted on writing this article is more regrettable.”
- “It’s not like anyone was being held captive, lol.”
- “Lol, are you serious???”
- “This is such an obviously malicious article, it feels off-putting.”
- “Lol, did they get paid by HYBE?”
