ENHYPEN’s Jungwon recently found himself at the center of a dating rumor involving Aespa’s Winter. Although both agencies quickly denied the rumors, the situation escalated when protest trucks were sent by Chinese fans, demanding Jungwon’s removal from the group.
Protest trucks displayed messages accusing Jungwon of various misconduct, including claims about lying and dating, with harsh criticisms such as “ENHYPEN is 6 years old” and “We don’t need Yang Jungwon ignoring his fans.” The messages also referenced his alleged “double life” and questioned his character, although both Jungwon and his agency denied the dating rumors.
Although the rumors have not been confirmed, many fans believe that Jungwon saw the protest truck and read the messages, which triggered strong reactions from netizens. In a recent video, he is seen walking in front of the business, with a white truck visible in the background, which is suspected to be a protest truck linked to the recent problems surrounding it.
Many expressed sympathy for Jungwon, pointing out that the messages went too far, especially since both the member and the agency denied the claims.
Korean netizens have particularly expressed their anger towards Chinese fans, who they believe are crossing the line in their relentless pursuit of drama. “Even when the member and the company deny it, they don’t believe it” one netizen commented. Others have questioned the motivations behind such actions, with many arguing that they may make idols too scared to date in the future due to the constant harassment.
