Another round of rumors are embroiling ITZY Ryujin and MIDZYs express their frustration at JYP Entertainment for allegedly not doing anything to protect the artist.
On August 17, MIDZYs trended on Twitter the hashtag "#JYPE_PROTECT_RYUJIN" to call out the agency to shield ITZY member Ryujin from rumors.
Why do we have to ask for basic treatment? Why do we always have to protect Ryujin not only from haters but also from her own company and management? I’m so fucking tired! Do your job!#ryujindeservesbetter#JYPE_PROTECT_RYUJIN#JYPE_RESPECT_RYUJIN @jypnation

They also sent emails containing the situation and encouraging lawful acts to protect the idol. MIDZYs are also asking how to send emails to the company in Korean so that it wouldn't be ignored.
They are also cleaning the searches for Ryujin to remove the negative keywords whenever someone searches for her name on Twitter and other social media sites. They did succeed in doing it and has only left positive keywords like "Ryujin handsome" and "Ryujin smile."
We did it! We cleared the searches 🥰

This is the second time that the ITZY rapper has been involved in a dating rumor with NCT vocalist Haechan. Initially, it was because, during one of Haechan's V Live broadcasts, his iPad was seen following the account of ITZY.
Llikewise, ITZY Ryujin was also seen following the NCT member's account.
Are ITZY Ryujin Really Dating NCT Haechan?
ITZY Ryujin and NCT 127 Haechan's dating rumor resurfaced after a blind item alluded to them. A PANN user posted about a member of a girl group going to a boy group member's building.
In the post, it was said that the girl group member was seen lingering in front of the building where a member of a "BIG 3" boy group currently resides. Many K-pop fans then claimed that the girl is ITZY Ryujin while the boy group member is Haechan.
The post also said that the shirt was worn by Ryujin in one of her V Live broadcasts.
Further, the Pann user discussed the previous manner how ITZY Ryujin and NCT Haechan always have something in common like earphones, posts on their fan cafe, and more that fans speculated as things a couple shares.

The picture of the female is not clear as it is mosaiced. However, there are people who guess that it is indeed Ryujin, even going as far as comparing the legs.
However, NCTzens (NCT fandom) are also helping out MIDZYs, saying that the apartment building is not where NCT lives. Besides, ITZY has an overseas schedule at the KCON in LA, so it is impossible that the woman in question is Ryujin.

Furthermore, MIDZYs are also saying that Ryujin is not stupid enough to go out in broad daylight and be seen like that. Plus, there are sasaengs everywhere, so they would definitely get caught if she ever does that.
Neither SM Entertainment nor JYP Entertainment addressed the issue.
Fans Protect ITZY Ryujin
MIDZYs are criticizing JYP Entertainment when it comes to situations like this. Some even accuse the company of of deleting negative feedback pertaining to them, such as mistreating idols.
JUST TODAY ryujin has had 2 disrespectful and invasive articles written abt her, yet jype fails to take down either. how come when it’s an article abt ryujin having unfair promotion during sneakers era they take it down immediately, but when it’s hurtful towards her they don’t?

As a result, they are tweeting supportive and encouraging messages to Ryujin.
Midzys will always be by your side wherever, whenever. Thank you for always making us happy and always doing your best in everything that you do. We love you Ryujin.
MIDZYs also petition for the articles to be removed by JYP Entertainment. However, there is still no announcement or any post from the agency.
