From what I remember when I followed k-pop stars a lot of the fan base would have a problem if their bias was dating. It's like they feel disillusioned by it and like the star is no longer their's in a way. Cause now they are with someone else officially. Also I feel like there's some jealousy there. Fans can be really really possessive and do/say some really fucked up shit at times.
The fans in the USA of most actors are no where near that level. I think the best comparison would be like Taylor Swift in how her fan base all of a sudden started watching football cause she was dating a footbal player. Or how they would feel insulted if someone said something bad about her.
I don't follow k news or like controversies in general I have heard of dating scandals bleh bleh bleh but I assumed it was more of a dating a minor, age gap maybe lgbtq+ rels idk cheating shit but a quick search on the internet makes me believe they make a great deal out of any dating scene? Like is that true? Seriously? They mind ppl dating normally? Seriously?
