On the 27th of last month, South Korea's famous "paparazzi" **D Agency posted** the relationship between Yoo Jimin and Lee Jae-wook, and then the brokerage companies to which the two belonged also issued positions one after another admitting that the two were in love, and expressed the hope that everyone could cast a warm eye on the two of them.
But it backfired, and some fans were extremely disappointed with Yoo Ji-min after learning about this relationship, and they not only left messages on Yoo Jimin's personal social ** platform accusing Yoo Jimin of "idol disqualification", but also staged a truck demonstration in front of SM Entertainment's head office in Seongdong-gu, Seoul.

On the big screen of the truck in question, it was written: "Aren't there enough love from fans? Why betray the fans? Please apologize in person, otherwise you will see ** sales drop and concert seats empty! ”
Truck demonstrations have recently become a popular way to express their dissatisfaction with their agencies and artists among Korean artists, who often shout out to the company and the artists by leaving messages on the truck's big screen to express their demands.

Perhaps it was because of the sight of the demonstration truck that Yoo Jimin apologized to fans for the incident a week after admitting her relationship, and this time she won the sympathy of most netizens in South Korea.
In the famous Korean online community The Qoo, "Yoo Jimin apologizes to fans" was discussed for nearly 2,000 floors, and most netizens thought that idol love was not a crime, and it was unreasonable for fans to apologize to the extent that they wanted to write a letter to apologize.

They said: "Idol is not guilty of falling in love", "It's not a criminal fan, why do you want to hold on to her", "Some idols do write handwritten letters after falling in love, but Karina is bullied too much by people who claim to be fans, and from the perspective of a third party, I feel that Karina is very pitiful", "It's okay for fans to take off their meals, it's good to go crazy, go and scold the D company of ** love", "If you want to take off your meal, you can take off your meal, and I'm afraid that the idol himself won't know how to take it off with great fanfare, isn't this just giving people a look", "It's scary for fans who still think they're right to this extent," ......

Not only Korean netizens, but also some overseas ** are on Yoo Jimin's side.
The UK's **BBC released a K-pop star Karina titled "K-pop star Karina who apologized after admitting love rumors" on the 6th local time.
"Korean and Japanese pop stars work in a notoriously stressful industry, making it difficult to open up about their private lives," the BBC said, adding that "10 years ago, K-pop agencies banned newcomers from dating or even carrying personal mobile phones, and until now it is considered a scandal to disclose their romances to fans." There are also many brokerage companies in Japan that stipulate that 'love is not allowed' in their contracts, and if you want to get married, you need to get the consent of the brokerage company first."

The Telegraph also said: "Strict management, enthusiastic admiration from fans, constant surveillance, and fierce industry competition have brought a burden to K-pop stars." ”
Now Yoo Jimin's social ** platform is full of messages from overseas fans who support her, they said: "In 2024, there is no need for female idols to write apology letters because they are in love, I hope Karina can do what she wants, and fans have no right to interfere." ”
