During a recent airport apparition, a fan delivered a Labubu doll to Jeongyeon, part of a collection series at costs that stormed the online Fandom scene. The bizarre dolls are known for their strange but cute designs and have become a reference gift for idols.
But Jeongyeon did not hold back. “I don’t care about the dolls”, He said clearly. “Don’t be fooled by the tendencies.”
The post of his comment has quickly become viral, dividing netizen and fans into praise and criticism fields. Some felt that his answer was too straightforward, fearing that he could hurt the feelings of the fan. “It’s a bit sad: if I were the fan, I would probably feel bad.” A user commented.
However, a growing number of fans has come to the defense of Jeongyeon, applauding it to be authentic in a sector often criticized for too well -kept answers.
Others have seen his answer as a refreshing reminder that the idols are also people, with individual tastes and opinions:
The accident has rekindled the conversation on the culture of Idol’s gift, with some fans who suggest that it is time to rethink the way in which the support is shown. While sumptuous gifts are common in the K-Pop Fandom, the Jeongyeon reaction offers a rare and unspecified version that has many reconsidered the emotional and financial pressure linked to these gestures.
