Earlier this month, the Korean entertainment industry and fans of Ahn Bo Hyun and BLACKPINK's Jisoo received a piece of surprising news when it was announced that the two celebrities are in a romantic relationship with each other.

After the announcement, various online communities were abuzz for a while talking about Ahn Bo Hyun and Jisoo's relationship. 

While many fans congratulated the two, there were others who expressed bitterness toward the news.

Much of the hate was directed toward Ahn Bo Hyun. Some netizens and BLACKPINK fans expressed that Jisoo is out of the actor's league.

These netizens filled various online communities with malicious comments such as "Jisoo, you could do much better," "Jisoo's standard for men is so low," and "I'm disappointed that she is dating Ahn Bo Hyun."

With the overflow of backlash towards Ahn Bo Hyun, K-netizens outpoured empathy and defended him from the hate.

They commented:

"I feel bad for Ahn Bo Hyun"

"I thought Ahn Bo Hyun was good. He's good at acting and his personality seems to be kind. I don't think he needs to use her to get popularity because their field of activity is different" 

"Even celebrities say Ahn Bo Hyun is good-looking, why are netizens making a fuss?"

"I thought he gained 2 million followers after the dating news with Jisoo."

"I trust that she picked a good man. She likes him, and that is all that counts. Just let the couple be happy."

"Who cares what korean netizens think. The only opinions that matter are the two that are dating and as long as they are happy together it doesnt matter what anyone else thinks."

"I guess they are judging them by their fame they are. But the truth is that fame doesn't last forever. They're just people at the end of the day. And if, in the end, he turns out to be a good person, that should be enough."

BLACKPINK’s Jisoo shared a surprising story from her trainee days!

On January 29, the latest episode of Dex’s Fridge Interview was released on YouTube. During the chat, Dex asked Jisoo if she ever rebelled or broke the rules as a trainee. She confidently replied, “Not at all. The only rebellion I had as a trainee was eating.”

Dex then jokingly imitated her younger self, saying, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”

Jisoo laughed and admitted, “Actually, I was really chubby back then. They kept telling me to lose weight, but I always said, ‘No, I need to eat. I like myself chubby.’”

She even recalled a moment with YG Entertainment’s founder, Yang Hyun Suk:
“The boss told me to lose weight, and I responded like that. He just walked away, thinking, ‘She’s a weird one.’ I literally said, ‘No! I like myself chubby!’”

Jisoo then revealed that after she debuted, she naturally lost weight. She added, “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”

Fans are loving Jisoo’s confidence and honesty! Meanwhile, her full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview is now available on YouTube.
