Stray Kids Bang Chan
Following the departure of former member Kim Woojin from the group, Bang Chan, a member of the same K-pop group, found himself issuing an apology for not being able to keep the group intact.

EXO's Chen
Chen faced backlash when he announced his engagement and his fiancee's pregnancy. Some fans demanded that he be removed from EXO.
