NCT‘S Taeyong I’ve been enjoying it lately Aespa to Gisellethe Instagram post using his public account. The interaction, while harmless, sparked a huge debate over idols showing off their friendship online.
A post denouncing him went viral with over 1.1 million views.

Giselle’s post was sponsored by the brand Loeweof which Taeyong is also an ambassador. Some fans dismissed it as a show of support for his fellow brand ambassador. After all, he hasn’t liked any of his other posts so far.
It’s the same ambassador, but you can insist, Supaduba, you crazy bitch https://t.co/s5uQuVae4K

They’re both ambassadors, so it’s entirely possible they like the post, idiot.

I think I pressed it because of a Loe cut https://t.co/Y3D3XeeC1J

I think he liked it because it’s Loewe.

On the other hand, Taeyong also liked a couple of other female idol posts, viz Red Velvet.

Many defended him, arguing that it was an acceptable show of support given that it is his hoobae from SM Entertainment.
It’s after the company, so why not? https://t.co/7wQc5VL8os

It’s his company hoobae. What’s wrong with that?

Others ruled out any possibility of them dating, given that he used his public account.
They are FRIENDS, that’s why he can openly like you that way. Do you think he would like her place openly if they are dating? Lol https://t.co/wcPJGwVGh7

This isn’t the first time Instagram has sparked debate among K-Pop fans. Previously, ESO‘S Dry he admitted he wanted to be liked BLACKPINK Jisoo‘s post, but I was embarrassed.
