ITZY Ryujin & Yeji Casually Talk About THIS Idol Couple
It was huge news when THIS idol couple revealed that they were dating, especially since the male singer invited the female idol to star in his music video.
And you guessed it right! It's none other than Joy from Red Velvet and Crush!
There was a joke among Korean netizens that Crush should pay more taxes because he hit the jackpot when Joy became his girlfriend.
Ryujin then read the joke on one comment during their live stream and it surprised some fans at how casually they talked about it, especially since the ITZY member was also embroiled in a rumor.
The V Live in question was deleted by ITZY's management after it received some backlash from Red Velvet Joy's fans. Usually, a V Vlive happens in real-time and as soon as it ended, it will be re-uploaded for the fans who did not get to watch it.
Meanwhile, in a theqoo post, some fans commented they did not mind the mention of Joy and Crush.
"So what?... stop telling them what to do. It's not like they are committing a crime"
"I learned through this post that Joy and Crush were datingㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"Who cares... it was live so making mistakes is normal. It's not something to grab them by the neck for... Even if it came from my bias, I wouldn't think anything of it"
"Aren't they openly dating though? It was just one mistake so why are you guys like this?"
"It's not like she was speaking in casual speech either so what's the big deal?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"Hul I seriously was wondering what was the issue here...ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ if this was so rude, then how is she supposed to apologize?"
"Not a bid deal"
"She got so seriousㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yeji is pitifulㅠㅠ"
ITZY Ryujin & Yeji Receive Backlash From Mentioning Joy & Crush's Relationship
Unfortunately, the mention did not sit well with some viewers, claiming it was rude of them to talk about other idol's relationships.
"The kids saying "what's the issue here", have you guys never been out in society? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ"
"It's true that it was a rude mistake and she has her fair share of rumors with that male idol so... seeing how Yeji reacted, they really don't seem to have any tact"
"To be honest, I wonder if there's any fan who would like it. I feel like it gives a good opportunity for others to start making fun of their relationship so I'm wondering if she had to explain the situation like that. But at the same time, it's not like she had any evil intent so I'm also wondering if people should have any say about this"
"That seriously killed the mood"
