The news broke on April 2, when Tenasia reported that the couple had ended their relationship. The reason? The mental anguish they experienced from malicious comments and their concern for their fans. The couple’s relationship had been public for just over a month, but it seems the pressure was too much to bear.
Netizens were quick to react to the news, with many expressing shock and dismay. Comments ranged from disbelief to sympathy, with one netizen lamenting, “Omg, is it because fans found out too early into their relationship?” Another pointed out the harsh reality of being in the public eye, stating, “How could they have continued their relationship when people were sending death threats over it?”
The sentiment was echoed by others who felt that the couple should have been protected and that the news of their relationship was released too early. One netizen even blamed the reporters, saying, “But how could they not get caught dating when reporters are all over them? It was the reporter’s fault.”
However, not all reactions were negative. Some fans seemed relieved by the news, with one saying, “Honestly, I bet her fans are really happy. I wish my idol also broke up. I hate seeing all of his articles start with a heart in the title.”
