Netizens echoed their disappointment, citing Jini's alleged indifference and lack of genuine interaction as reasons for concern.

Reports surfaced of fans in China deserting Jini's fandom due to similar experiences during fan meetups, underscoring the widespread disillusionment among supporters.

Calls for Authenticity and Engagement

As criticism mounts, fans emphasize the importance of authenticity and sincere engagement from idols during fan interactions. Many expressed disappointment over Jini's perceived lack of sincerity, highlighting the need for idols to prioritize meaningful connections with their supporters.

• "Recently, her actions have led to a significant exodus of fans from her fanbase in China. Numerous posts on Weibo from fans who have attended 10 to 20 fansign events describe her as displaying a negative attitude, frequently ignoring fans, providing evasive responses such as 'I don't know,' and more. Anyone interested can find these discussions easily."
• "What are some of these comments addressing? Setting aside the issue of forgetting a fan's name, one fan asked her to guess how many times they had met, to which she responded with a dismissive 'I don't know.' That's preposterous. I have never witnessed such a response before. Even a random guess would have been more preferable than 'I don't know.'"
• "The fact that so many fans who regularly attend fansign events are leaving her fandom speaks volumes about the severity of the situation. I have viewed some of the videos, and her lack of engagement and frequent preoccupation with her appearance is evident. Fansign events are brief, so witnessing your idol demonstrate such indifference is incredibly disheartening."
• "While it may be challenging to remember the exact number of times a fan has attended fansign events due to the large fanbase, offering a more appropriate response is essential. Such reactions only serve to tarnish her image."

Jini's conduct during the virtual fan meet raises questions about her commitment to her fanbase and the repercussions of falling short of fan expectations.

With ongoing discussions and debates surrounding her behavior, the incident serves as a reminder of the expectations placed on idols to maintain genuine connections with their supporters.
