Netizens Defend A Fifth-Generation Idol After He’s Scolded By Fans During A Live Broadcast
Weverse Live has become the perfect way to communicate with idols in real time. Idols will go live and chat with fans in a more informal way, and comments allow fans to interact with them at the same time.
Yet, one idol has gained attention after netizens defended him from “Mean” comments during a live broadcast. Since debuting, BOYNEXTDOOR‘s Jaehyun has gained attention for his unreal charisma and talent.
For many, he is a ray of sunshine and always exudes energy.
On January 14, Jaehyun did a Weverse live broadcast with fellow members Riwoo and Sungho. As expected, the members had a lot of fun chatting with fans and interacting with each other.
Yet, a video has gained attention showcasing the dark sides to live broadcasts. During the broadcast, Jaehyun read a comment where someone told him he was too loud, and straight away, the young idol apologized.
He then explained that he was getting scolded a lot in the comments.
Sungho stood up for his member, asking netizens not to “scold” the idol.
When the videos were shared online, netizens reacted angrily. On TikTok…
@sunghanbinna THESE COMMENTS ON JAEHYUN LIVE SO ANNOYING 💆🏻♀️ LET HIM BE HIMSELF!! #jaehyun #boynextdoor #myungjaehyun #boynextdoorjaehyun #fyp #fypシ #foryou #foryoupage #kpop #kpopfyp #live #weverselive #보이넥스트도어 #명재현 #추천 #jaehyunboynextdoor
Netizens couldn’t understand why netizens were saying such rude thing to Jaehyun, with many hoping that his smile doesnt fade or he thinks to change how he acts because of the comments.
On X, the discourse was similar with netizens hitting back at the awful comments, reminding everyone that fans should have boundaries when chatting with idols.
You’re not his friends not his family or someone who’s with him or know him personally to be making rude judgments and comments on him. He’s not a kid. This really annoys and hurts me because I’ve been through this too and he can hide it but still hurt inside. Just stop omfg.

The other day I was emotional during Jaehyun's wv live seeing him crying because he loves his members so much so to see him getting shitty comments today that clearly affected him both breaks my heart and makes me so angry. People like that don't deserve to be in this fandom.

and these people call themselves…. fans? if they have THAT much to complain about, maybe just don't watch? why do you think you have the right to dictate what they do? they're not your property you don't own them and you're not their mothers.

Many netizens think that fans are overstepping their boundaries with these kind of comments while forgetting that idols are humans and have feelings.
