• Netizens debate appropriateness of ITZY member Ryujin to talk about Red Velvet's Joy and Crush's relationship

    Fans are arguing about whether ITZY's Ryujin made a mistake when she talked about the relationship between Red Velvet's Joy and Crush.

    On October 4, Ryujin and Yeji of ITZY did a VLIVE for their fans. Ryujin was listening to Crush's music during the VLIVE when she saw a fan's comment that said "Crush should be paying more taxes".

    The comment was a reference to a joke that fans made about Crush's relationship with Red Velvet member Joy. They said that he should pay more taxes for winning the lottery.

    When Ryujin read the comment, Yeji looked at her with confusion and asked what it meant. Ryujin whispered that the joke was about how close the two singers were.

    Ryujin: *Reads comment* Crush who has to pay more taxes (laughs)
    Yeji: Why?
    Ryujin: Joy sunbae-nim
    Yeji: Huh?
    Ryujin: Joy sunbae-nim, he's dating her so...
    Yeji: Ok, but what's the comment about?
    Ryujin: He has to pay more taxes. That's what people are saying
    Yeji: Oh, really?
    Ryujin: That's why he has to pay more taxes
    Yeji: Really?

    Soon, fans talked about the incident online, and some thought it was rude for Ryujin to talk about another idol's relationship.

    Some people said that even though Crush and Joy were dating in public, it was still a delicate situation and Ryujin should have been more careful.

    What's the point? Stop telling them what to do. They aren't really doing anything wrong.

    Oh, these comments are so funny!

    I'm not sure if any fan would like it, to be honest. I think it gives people a chance to make fun of their relationship, so I'm curious if she had to explain the situation that way. But she didn't do anything bad, so I'm also wondering if people should be able to say something about this.

    It was rude, and she has been linked to that male idol in rumors, so judging by how Yeji reacted, they don't seem to have much tact.

    I found out that Joy and Crush were going out because of this post.

    Who cares? It was live, so mistakes are to be expected. This isn't a reason to grab them by the throat…. I wouldn't think anything of it if it came from my bias.

    But aren't they dating in public? Just one mistake was made, so why are you guys acting like this?

    She wasn't even talking in a casual way, so what's the big deal?

    Hul I was really confused about what was going on here… If this was so rude, how should she say she's sorry?

    The kids who say, "What's the problem here?" make me wonder if they've ever been out in public.

    That really put a damper on things.

    Not a big deal.

    She became so serious that Yeji is pitifulㅠㅠ

    What are your thoughts about the post?

    BTS member Jimin made history at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS, becoming the first solo artist ever to win the prestigious Visa Fan’s Choice of the Year award.

    On November 22, Jimin was honored with the Fan’s Choice of the Year award at the 2024 MAMA AWARDS JAPAN, held at the Kyocera Dome in Osaka, Japan. This marks a huge milestone in his career, especially considering his ongoing military service.

    Jimin made history as the first solo artist to win the Fan’s Choice of the Year award, a category that BTS had dominated for six years since its debut in 2018.

    In addition to this achievement, Jimin also took home the Fan’s Choice Grand Prize, making him a two-time winner at this year’s awards.

    Although Jimin couldn't attend the ceremony due to his military service, his name was met with loud cheers from fans when announced.

    His incredible win continues to prove his global influence as a solo artist. Jimin had also won Best Male Artist at the 2023 MAMA AWARDS, marking back-to-back wins at the event.

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service. He was also recently named Best K-pop at the 2024 MTV Europe Music Awards and continues to be recognized for his charitable efforts, including a recent donation of 100 million KRW to the National Defense Soldier and Veteran Love Fund.
