After the tweets were shared, the comments were full of fans hitting back at the “hit” tweets, pointing out it was wrong to speculate the sexualities of idols as if they were just characters and that it seemed to be becoming a trend when it comes to female artists announcing relationships or being rumored to be dating.
Maybe yall would stop being disappointed like this if you stopped speculating the sexualities of real life people as if they were fictional characters for u to project onto https://t.co/AnvoTQVR9V pic.twitter.com/GzyFtyohJw

I'm never againts LQBT . if Jihyo really a lesbian or a bi , I will still love her with all my heart. But don't make assumptions of her sexuality with your personal opinion and being bitter when she's not what you think she is. Respect her choice, whatever that come tomorrow.

stop letting aesthetics and physical presentations based on lesbian stereotypes cloud your judgement of the queerness of celebrities and idols https://t.co/4OchVmTM2z

Yet, it isn’t the first time this has been an issue. When it was revealed that aespa‘s Karina was dating actor Lee Jae Wook, fans hit back at netizens who were using the news to the topic of sexuality. Fans “joked” about the people they thought would be sad, including aespa’s Winter and ITZY’s Ryujin, along with comments about how they were shocked that Karina was dating a man.
While many pointed out the tweets are “jokes,” some netizens are worried that it might be taken too far, especially considering that Korea is quite conservative when it comes to the topics of sexuality.
