The idols are constantly under the scrutiny of the public, particularly from the K-Netizens. It’s no surprise that they are used to overanalyze every single word from interviews, interactions, and messages and EXO’s Baekhyun earned the spotlight this week.
On June 17, the idol posted a message titled “Baekhyun’s Bubble Message From Yesterday,” which went viral for all the wrong reasons. The message was met with mixed reviews and backlash due to accusations of exploiting and manipulating his fans.
“In a world of no absolutes, I really hope that our fans, who gave me absolute love, have a better day. I just really miss you guys.”
The K-Netizens even compared EXO’s Baekhyun to Kang Sung Hoon who was recently exposed to the cancel culture because of manipulative behavior towards fans. Do you think this is a new strategy from the idols to secure his fans’ loyalty?
