"Single's Inferno 2" has been a massive hit in the entertainment industry, bringing fame and popularity to its cast.

However, for Shin Seul Ki, fame has become a double-edged sword.

Seul Ki received mixed reactions from the audience during the show, with some praising her beauty while others criticized her attitude.

The label of a "Pick Me" and her final choice to be with Choi Jong Woo sparked even more hate and criticism.

Recently, a video was released by Esquire that showed the level of hate Seul Ki received from both Korean and international netizens.

The comments were filled with hateful remarks, and fans quickly shared their sympathy for the contestant.

One fan even accused Seul Ki of wanting to be an actress, leading many to believe that she was on the show for popularity, not love.

However, within 24 hours of the video being posted, it was taken down by Esquire from their YouTube channel and Instagram reel.

Fans speculated that the video was removed due to the level of hate Seul Ki received.

This raised questions about the negative impact of fame and the harsh reality of social media.

The amount of hate Seul Ki received sparked sympathy from many netizens, with some expressing sadness that a lot of the comments were coming from other females.

This is not the first time a contestant from Single's Inferno has received hate, as Song Ji A (Freezia) faced similar criticism during the first series.

Esquire has not confirmed the reasons for deleting Seul Ki's content, but the incident serves as a reminder of the dark side of fame and the harsh reality of the entertainment industry.

It's important to remember that behind the screens, these contestants are real people with feelings and emotions, and they should not be subjected to such intense hate and criticism.

In conclusion, Shin Seul Ki's experience after Single's Inferno 2 highlights the negative impact of fame and the harsh reality of social media.

It's time for us to start considering the impact of our words and actions on others, and to show empathy and compassion towards those in the public eye.

BTS’s V is creating major buzz in Indonesia once again, and this time, it’s all thanks to his role as a global ambassador for the financial platform SimInvest!

In March 2023, V was chosen as the face of the Indonesian investment platform, and he continues to hold the title for the second consecutive year. SimInvest has seen impressive growth thanks to V’s loyal fanbase, particularly among the younger generation. The platform expressed their delight, revealing that V’s influence has played a huge role in their success.

For 2024, the platform is making an exciting move by adding legendary actor Jackie Chan as a co-ambassador alongside V. SimInvest hopes that this partnership will boost the platform’s appeal even further and help build trust among a wider audience.

To celebrate the incredible growth, SimInvest threw an event in Jakarta from January 16 to 24. They set up a special booth at the MRT station where fans could grab exclusive V-themed merchandise and enjoy free coffee. As expected, the turnout was massive, with fans flooding the station and forming long lines. The crowd was so large that the event had to be paused multiple times for safety reasons, as SimInvest had to manage the growing number of fans. Both the company and the fans were in awe of the overwhelming "V-effect"!

V’s popularity in Indonesia is undeniable. On Instagram, he was recently ranked as the second most influential celebrity in the world—just behind Cristiano Ronaldo. He also tops the search volume charts on Indonesia’s Google Trends for Korean stars.

This isn’t the first time V has caused a stir in Indonesia. Back in 2021, during BTS's ambassadorship with Hyundai Motors at the Indonesia International Auto Show (GIIAS), a "Hyundai x BTS" photo booth saw V being the most popular member with attendees. Fans couldn’t get enough of the global superstar!

It’s clear that V’s impact in Indonesia—and globally—continues to grow stronger, with fans everywhere eager to show their love for the K-pop icon!
