Speculation Mounts as Media Outlets Continue to Report False News About G-Dragon
Netizens are now actively speculating about the underlying reasons behind media outlets persistently circulating false information regarding G-Dragon.
Korean media organizations have been adding fuel to the fire surrounding G-Dragon‘s ongoing drug investigation by disseminating unverified news, prompting netizens to reflect on the potential motives.
In a recent incident, media outlets published alarming headlines suggesting that G-Dragon had completely shaved his body before a drug test. However, the police department quickly refuted these claims, establishing their falsity.
Consequently, G-Dragon has resolved to take legal action against the media outlets responsible for spreading this misleading information.
In light of these developments, netizens have devised several possible explanations for the media’s incessant reporting of false news within this context. Here are some of their theories.
Viewership Numbers: One prevailing theory centers around the substantial viewership that news related to G-Dragon garners. Reports purportedly outlining G-Dragon‘s decision to shave his entire body before the drug test amassed a staggering 2.42 million views, significantly surpassing the viewership of other news videos, which generally only attracted around 50,000 views.
Netizens expressed their opinions:
“Given G-Dragon‘s long hair and normal eyelashes, I fail to comprehend why the act of body shaving assumes such paramount importance. When I questioned this, I was immediately accused of shielding him.”
“People already hold preconceived notions, and if they don’t hear what they want, they lash out at you.”
“Journalists nowadays seem to rely heavily on online community forums to craft their news stories.”
“MBC broadcast station was involved in publishing those false reports? Astonishing. This highlights why we mustn’t blindly trust the media.”
“How evil! The investigation results aren’t even out yet, so how can they engage in such unethical practices?”
“They’ve truly crossed all limits.”
“G-Dragon must have received a lot of emotional scars from this incident.”
“I stand in solidarity with G-Dragon.”
While the reasons behind the continued circulation of false news about G-Dragon remain mere speculation, netizens continue to actively discuss and dissect the situation, urging caution and critical thinking when consuming media reports.
