[+81, -15] So, if fans expect celebrities not to date, does that mean fans also don't date or get married? It's so strange how fandom culture calls for apology letters, truck protests, etc.

[+40, -29] I didn't even commit a crime like drunk driving, so it's funny that I have to write an apology letter for that. But it's also funny that she missed her point in her letter and that it would be better not to write at all. This whole situation is so comedic that fans expect their idols to keep quiet about their Voledmort-esque romances lol.

– [+17, -2] I mean, she shouldn't feel sorry about it in the first place..?

– [+14, -1] Well, of course the letter is meaningless! I don't think dating is a crime. What are her people expecting her to do? Do you kneel on her floor and ask her forgiveness for falling in love?

– [+6, -1] So what exactly did she want from her letter?

[+31, -12] SM stock should also apologize for plummeting haha. Investor losses were the biggest.

[+18, -3] If you look at idols as products, you can see why their passionate fans are so agitated. The idol realm follows, right?

[+6, -0] It is natural for idols to sell illusions. Your fans buy your merchandise because they think you love them, and that's expected lol.

[+4, -0] Basically asking for her ATM to be open!!!

[+3, -0] I don't think she's advanced far enough in her career yet to be allowed to date. There's a reason why she had a ban on dating during the early days of her idol career. Because it is a product, dating reduces its value. No one talks about older idols dating because they have had enough careers.

[+1, -0] Dating is okay~ But she is basically SM's last hope at this point, and especially as the center of Espa, she has to admit that she has more to lose than to gain by dating now. aespa has long been pushed out by IVE and Le Sserafim.
