• 3 Times Fans Are Enraged In 2023: SEVENTEEN’s Joshua, Fantagio Taking Advantage Of Moonbin , EXO’s Chen

    Korean fans are very angry about these incidents.


    ◆ SEVENTEEN star Joshua X Pledis didn't care about dating reports.

    Pledis Entertainment (hereinafter Pledis), HYBE's company, didn't care that fans were angry about the idea that Joshua was dating someone else.

    Fans found many signs that Joshua was dating, such as couple profile pictures, reports that they shared clothes, phone cases, concert ticket seats, and gifts of a high-end sports car, Porsche.

    Fans got even more angry when some pointed out that Joshua held a lot fewer live shows than other members.


    People and fans then looked forward to the agency's statement to see if it accepted or rejected the claims or at least asked for privacy in the idol's personal life.

    But HYBE and Pledis decided not to say anything about the reports.

    Some fans got so angry that they used trucks and Porsches to protest and demand that Joshua quit, but the hero and his agency didn't answer.

    At the same time, Pledis kept putting out news to get people to buy albums and show tickets, which made fans even more angry.

    ◆ ATOM Moonbin's business Fantagio moved where his tribute spot was located.

    Millions of fans around the world were shocked when ASTRO's Moonbin died.

    Fans are even more upset about what his agent, Fantagio, did, though.

    In the beginning, the agency made a place at Gukjeong Temple to remember Moonbin.

    Later, though, it was agreed that the room would be moved to Seonun Temple.

    The firm also told fans that it would be putting on an exhibition of the stars' favorite things.

    There is a rumor that Seonun Temple and Fantagio have joined forces to make money.

    Furthermore, fans did not understand why it was decided to show off the dead person's things.

    Aloha, Astro's fans, didn't buy anything because they thought there was something fishy going on.

    Fantagio quickly said that the memory space would be shut down and hinted that they would have a strong reaction to the reports.

    Fantagio rejected the financial rewards, giving an excuse and saying they would take legal action.

    Fans were most angry that the statement didn't say why the show was happening.

    The company was worried about the safety of guests in the winter and didn't say why the memorial place was being moved until it was closed.

    Because of this, the agency missed a chance for more people to remember, grieve, and respect Moonbin.

    Chen from EXO played a fan song at his wedding.


    Chen of EXO was also asked to leave the group because his girlfriend was pregnant before they got married.

    SM said this about the problem: "All EXO members expressed their desire to join the discussion before Chen's wedding announcement."

    We care about what our members think, and there have been no changes to the members of EXO. In other words, Chen could take part in everything the group did.

    Chen also wrote an apology letter by hand, but fans were still mad.

    A song by EXO called "Don't Go" was played at his wedding.

    This song was on EXO's first full-length record and was written especially for their fans.

    Fans of EXO, called "EXO-Ls," couldn't hide their sadness when their song was played at a member's wedding.
