In a shocking turn of events, K-Soul, a member of the renowned K-Pop group Fantasy Boys, has found himself at the center of a raging controversy.
The fifth-generation idol, known for his charismatic performances on stage, recently made headlines for equating K-Pop enthusiasts to victims of domestic abuse in an alarming tirade during a livestream.
Idol's Startling Allegations Unveiled
On March 6, a video from K-Soul's livestream session began circulating rapidly across social media platforms. In this video, the idol made startling claims regarding another unnamed idol who was allegedly in a romantic relationship.
K-Soul recounted witnessing this idol with his girlfriend at various public events, even going so far as to describe instances of physical intimacy.
"He brought his girlfriend to an outdoor event, to a club, and even groped her butt there. But he was able to win on a music show,"
K-Soul shared, expressing his discontent with what he perceived as unfair advantages for idols in relationships.
Unfiltered Remarks Raise Eyebrows
Expressing his frustrations, K-Soul delved deeper into his discontent, lamenting the perceived lack of consequences for idols involved in romantic relationships.
"I searched their hashtag and saw a comment that said, 'He has a girlfriend, but I still really like him, what should I do?' I was like, Hmm...fine. This is very unfair to the guys who work hard in the practice room just for that one chance to get noticed by everyone," he stated candidly.
However, it was his subsequent comments that truly sent shockwaves through the K-Pop community. In a portion of the video that garnered particular attention, K-Soul appeared to suggest a grim future for fans supporting idols in relationships.
Allegations of Insensitivity and Backlash
A netizen swiftly brought attention to a critical segment of the video, accusing the uploader of omitting crucial information.
"How come you haven't included the part when he said fans who like idols that date will get abused once they get married?"
The netizen questioned, before sharing a video clip showing K-Soul's controversial assertion.
"I don't understand it. Get ready to get cheated on while you're in a relationship and get abused while you're in a marriage, then. I really don't understand it,"
K-Soul was heard saying in the video, prompting widespread condemnation and outrage.
Fans Divided Over Defense
Despite the fervent backlash, some fans attempted to offer explanations for K-Soul's incendiary remarks.
"He didn't mean it that way, don't trust the reposts. What K-Soul meant was, 'The fans who are okay with their idols dating probably would be okay with cheating and domestic abuse.' Don't take it out of context," one defender claimed.
However, many remained unconvinced, with others highlighting the gravity of K-Soul's words.
"If it's just like what you said, then of course there's no issue, but wasn't he saying if you like idols who like to date, then you have to get ready to experience being cheated on and abused? Isn't that putting a curse on someone?" a skeptic pointed out.
As the controversy surrounding K-Soul's remarks continues to unfold, the K-Pop community finds itself grappling with the implications of his statements. With fans divided and emotions running high, the fallout from this shocking incident is far from over.
