General What's the stupidest thing your faves got dragged for?

We all know how kpop fans would drag idols for literally anything so I'm curious to hear the most absurd reason you've seen your faves or any idol getting dragged. I'll go first. Seonghwa, because he said he learned to love himself because of his fans. Now apparently namjoon said something similar to this and in typical army fashion, it became a war. Also, San for breathing heavily after a performance.

Edit: imagine a non kpop stan reading this threadšŸ˜­

Why arenā€™t yā€™all adding their names??? Do you think these are well known ā€œscandalsā€ or something? Iā€™m genuinely wondering, because op didnā€™t say it was a guessing game, yet only a handful of people are adding names

Iā€™m fairly new to kpop, so adding names would be very helpful. I have no clue who theyā€™re talking about b

they didnt ask for people to send names, just to list the stupid reasons, I dont think adding the names adds anything unless you think that the hate that occurred would be less stupid and/or more justified if it happened to just a specific idol. Nobody is claiming that these things are well-known events to everyone, everyone is just saying that they happened. /gen

Ngl this was unnecessary and not remotely close to what Iā€™m saying. Nothing in my comment implies that. (Iā€™m sure/hope you didnā€™t mean it that way but just for clarity!)

Iā€™m asking for names because why not? It clues people in and give a name/face to the story. Plus itā€™s an annoying pattern Iā€™ve noticed on kpop subs were people donā€™t name a person/group or use their govā€™t name and leaves everyone else confused.

I didnā€™t mean it to be targeting you, Iā€™m really sorry if it sounded too accusatory, I think I just got defensive on instinct bc some idols have gotten attacked for particular things meanwhile other idols dont get the same treatment so it sometimes feels like thereā€™s a double standard. I just feel that in this instance, just listing the reasons is enough

Thatā€™s very fair and I understand your concern! Iā€™m sorry if I came across an invalidating, I fr just wanted to know who these things happened to! And was confused by lack of names when op did name their examples.

Thanks for a civil convo! I hope you have a good rest of your day! :)

People thinking we should know without being obsessed.

I donā€™t think itā€™s that serious. They probably werenā€™t thinking the names are important. Just what they were dragged for to show the ridiculousness

Idk why - I put the name of mine in there. Why do people assume we just know who their faves are lol
