Following recent dating rumors, enthusiasts have dispatched a protest vehicle urging Joshua to depart from SEVENTEEN.

Joshua has found himself entangled in speculation regarding a romantic involvement with an influencer, and it appears that certain followers are dissatisfied with the supposed relationship.

On August 10th, an online user shared pictures of a protest truck stationed in front of SEVENTEEN's agency, Pledis Entertainment.

The proclamation on the truck reads, "Joshua, it's time to move on. We oppose dating, lip-syncing, and public displays of affection. A public figure who disregards the efforts of fellow members and the genuine support of fans should not be welcomed in the future!"

Other supporters express their disillusionment with Joshua's dating rumors, yet they do not desire his departure from the band.

Additionally, some fans suggest that the protest truck might have been arranged by an international fan, given the manner in which the message is formulated.

Netizens comments included:

"Maybe you folks should leave fandom!!!"

"Joshua's age is 27! I'd like to know how old the so-called fans are who think idols shouldn't date. And is it normal for a 27-year-old, young, good-looking man to have no personal life?"

"The majority are kids whose parents didn't teach them any manners."

"Really, this is just a sad thing. They think that just because they are "fans," they can tell a hero what to do with his or her life. How horrible!"

"Fans who send out such trucks should quit the following. Let Joshua be happy and leave him alone."

"Pathetic. They're not your boyfriends. They're also not monks. Let them do what they want. They sing, but they're not your pets."

What are your thoughts?

SHINee's Key recently shared the story behind his close connection with actor Byeon Woo Seok, revealing how their friendship goes way back to his modeling days.

On May 3, a new video titled "The 77th Episode is Just an Excuse" was released on the popular Tteunteun channel.

During the episode, when Yoo Jae Suk and Kim Dong Hyun joked about Girls' Generation's Yuri possibly having a romantic interest, Key took the opportunity to talk about Byeon Woo Seok.

"It would be nice to always live with love in your heart," Key said. "It's probably similar to the feeling of liking a celebrity. I think it's similar to how people are excited about Byun Woo Seok right now."

Yoo Jae Suk responded, "Woo Seok is really something," to which Key agreed, adding, "Many people have feelings for him. They even set his photo as their phone wallpaper. He's the same age as me."

Yoo Jae Suk then pointed out, "Byeon Woo Seok may have debuted a while ago, but he hasn't been widely known to us for long, so there’s a bit of a gap."

Key shared, "I have many model friends, so I’ve known him since his modeling days. I didn’t know his name back then, but I’ve always been glad to see him doing well."

Curious, Yuri asked, "Were you close to Byeon Woo Seok originally?" Key seemed surprised, replying, "I just said I wasn’t close to him," which caused Yuri to confidently reply, "I was just curious and wanted to hear more details. Why?"

Key laughed, joking, "If you and Dong Hyun hyung become close, the world will end!"
