Yet, it also sparked more negative reactions, with some referring to Jay Park’s “problematic” past and wishing that they had someone else to play the “idol boyfriend.”
They could’ve gotten another Idol Boyfriend, seriously why him??🥲

Fans explained that it was a cameo, and despite people’s views on the singer, they should focus on Jisoo and the show.
If you don’t like a certain guy, please just scroll past and don’t give him attention. He’s only a cameo, not main cast. Let’s keep the focus on Jisoo and continue hyping up BOD. The teaser so goods, so why bring unnecessary negativity into something that’s meant to be enjoyed 🙂
