Amid dating rumors, SEVENTEEN Joshua is earning criticism from Korean CARATs for "deceiving" his fans. What happened?
Summary: SEVENTEEN Joshua's Dating Rumor
Amid growing suspicions that SEVENTEEN Joshua is currently dating an influencer, fans, especially CARATs', anger is also rising.
Rumors of a romantic relationship involving the idol spread through SNS when Korean netizens claimed that he was doing a "lovestagram" (couple Instagram) with the e-celeb. Internet users also uploaded "proofs," highlighting the matched profile pictures of the rumored couple with their childhood photos.
They were also "caught" wearing "couple items" starting from outfits, cameras, cell phone cases and more, sparking rumors of cohabitation.
What made CARATs more furious was due to the fact that Joshua and Pledis remained silent despite growing interest and expressed disappointment for not thinking of his fans.
People are criticizing Joshua, saying that he should not have deceived his fans as much as he is receiving love that he would not have received if he were a normal person.
However, from the standpoint of not understanding that idols' relationships always receive negative responses, some responded that they might be crossing the line and congratulated Joshua for finding his love instead.
Amid lingering suspicions of Joshua's romantic relationship with the group SEVENTEEN, attention is being paid to what kind of answers the agency and Joshua will give in the future.
