During his 10-year career with BTS, Jungkook has had to deal with baseless rumors many times. But perhaps the most special case he has ever encountered is the ridiculous dating rumor with actress Lee Yu Bi without any corroborating evidence.
Although Lee Yu Bi's agency later denied this dating, toxic individuals seem to refuse to stop and accept that fact. In recent days, netizens have discovered that all posts on Lee Yu Bi's personal page are filled with malicious and weird comments from some people who have been given akgaes.
The situation is currently getting worse while fans are fed up with the thoughts of rude fans:
If you remember, in 2022, reporter Lee Jin Ho posted a video titled "The undeniable dating evidence of Jung Kook (BTS) and Lee Yoo Bi". He confirmed that the couple had been in love for a while, but it is not clear whether they still maintain their relationship until now.
The male reporter also presented evidence to support his statement. He said the two used to go to Jeju Island together and wear couple bracelets. Lee Jin Ho emphasized that the bracelet has a special meaning to Lee Yoo Bi's family because both her mother and Lee Seung Gi's brother-in-law wear them. There is also some news that is believed to be related but there is no concrete evidence.
Soon after, all fans and netizens criticized this reporter for deliberately creating a baseless rumor to ruin the honor of both artists. However, some people chose to trust this reporter even though he did not directly record the image of Jungkook and Lee Yu Bi dating.
But this rumor appeared not long ago, the management company of actress Lee Yu Bi immediately denied. While Lee Yu Bi confirmed that she knew SUGA before, she has no connection with Jungkook.
Specifically, responding to the press, a representative of 935 Entertainment company said, "The dating rumors between Lee Yu Bi and Jungkook do not make sense. They have never even met each other and do not know each other. She said before that she knew Suga but we’re not sure if they contact each other now."
Although everything has ended since the management company spoke up and the reporter was unable to give any exact evidence, a community site re-posted this news recently and alleges that she is dating star BTS. This led to hundreds of malicious comments on her Instagram account, mostly from international fans who are akgae.
While some fans simply spammed the comments section with negative emojis, there were many others warning her to stay away from Jungkook with threatening, even ĨŃŚÚĹŤing words. The special thing is that there are many comments in which ḳöŕệän grammar is wrong or does not express clearly.
It seems to have been formed from a translation tool so it looks like they are foreign akgaes. Most attacks target her for her age and looks, while others call her an “attention seeker".
Despite the recent harαssment, Lee Yu Bi and her agency have yet to comment on the matter. Meanwhile, genuine ARMYs and netizens don't understand why this issue was mutilated and dug up again when it ended 1 year ago:
- Wow, was this post also the doings of that akgae gallery?
- All I know is that this one girl is being tortured because she’s being used in the internal fíght of the boy group’s fandom.
- I’m a BTS fan, and this is the first I’m hearing of dating rumors. LOL
- What are they hoping for with those comments? They already said they’re not dating; what more do you want… It’s not like there’s soмєтнing to break up…
- What fault does Lee Yu Bi have?
- Seems like they’re really mentally ill… But you’re not going to get noticed this way… Get it together!
The huge plot twist is that multiple comments have voiced out that this might not be the doing of Jungkook’s akgaes, but of other members’ akgaes trying to create a bad image for Jungkook’s fans. As the internal fight between the akgaes grows, the ones who are truly victims are the good fans who simply love the entire group for who they are.
Recently ARMYs are constantly facing situations like this despite trying everything to prevent and spread positive messages. However, as mentioned before, the problem is in consciousness and it can hardly be completely eliminated because not all fans have the right and limited thinking!
