Following JYP Entertainment's statement concerning TWICE member, Chaeyoung's dating rumors, netizens and media outlets compare how similar their statement is with SM Entertainment's statement concerning EXO member Chanyeol's alleged dating and cheating scandal. Read more about it here.
Following alleged proof posted by netizens concerning Chaeyoung and her alleged relationship with her tattoo artist, JYP Entertainment shared a short comment on the rumors. On Friday, Nov. 6, 2020, JYP Entertainment announced that they had no official stance on the rumors, neither confirming nor denying if they were true or not.
Previously, Chaeyoung was caught in dating rumors, with netizens claiming she is dating famous tattoo artist Chimhwasa, whose real name is Jung Sung Hyun.
Rumors started flying after a netizen shared a photo of two people shopping at a grocery and claimed the girl in the photo was Chaeyoung. Though their faces are not seen in the picture, people claim the girl is, in fact, Chaeyoung. They have come to this conclusion due to the fuzzy white hat. Previously, Chaeyoung showed a hat identical to that during TWICE's appearance on MBC's 'Radio Star.'
As the scandal heightened, netizens started snooping on Chimhwasa's Instagram page, which is now deleted. Netizens found obscene drawings of women on his account. One drawing featured a girl with a mole on her face's left side, just like Chaeyoung does. Many took this as proof of their relationship.
Fans also spotted the two wearing near-identical rings, causing people to speculate that the two are wearing couple rings. Netizens also noticed that Chaeyoung's brother was following Chimhwasa up until his account was deleted.
Chaeyong herself has not commented on the rumors.
Following JYP Entertainment's statement on the matter, many netizens compare their comment to SM Entertainment's statement on Chanyeol's controversy. At the time, the company had also revealed they had no stance or position concerning Chanyeol's scandal.
On Oct. 29, 2020, an anonymous netizen shared a post on an online community forum claiming to be Chanyeol's ex-girlfriend and that she had dated him for three years. She claimed that the idol had allegedly been cheating on her and backstabbing his members. She provided photos as evidence, but fans are doubting the authenticity of the photos.
In her lengthy post, she claimed that Chanyeol cheated on her multiple times by having multiple one night stands with multiple women at night while she was asleep at night. She accused him of cheating on him with girl group members, YouTubers, flight attendants, and even people she personally knew.
She also brought up a time when an EXO member Chanyeol dislikes allegedly flirted with her, as he did not know the two were dating. At the time, Chanyeol did not defend her, which she found odd. She then accused Chanyeol of backstabbing the said member behind his back. She claims she ended up realizing that he did not defend her because he was ashamed of his actions.
Like Chaeyoung, Chanyeol has not commented on his rumors.
Many are now wondering why two big companies choose not to have a stance on their idol's controversies. Some have brought up that JYP Entertainment quickly confirmed Jihyo and Momo's dating news. SM Entertainment quickly made a statement concerning both Red Velvet Irene's scandals and Aespa Karina's scandals.
Media outlets speculate that it is because the matter concerns non-celebrities. As both Chaeyoung and Chanyeol's rumors involve people who are not idols, media outlets speculate that they feel like there is no need to make an official position as a company and expect their artists to handle it personally, as it involves their private lives.
