Back in the days dating scandals were huge. like i still remember the time when everyone was less exited for new year but more to which couple dispatch gonna reveal.
Since kpop is increasing in it's reach, i think they have came to senses that dating isn't gonna affect an idol like it used to. (i hope you remember BH and TY tragedy)
And do you think these bullying accusations were no where to be found in previous times? i think they weren't exposed on purpose because something more exciting more juicy was already there.
A false accusation can literally end someone's carrier or can have permanent damage. At least people forgot about dating scandal but the other one stays!
It's nice to have someone's wrong doings to be exposed! i would never stan a bully. but the media doesn't care about all that. And we never get to know the whole story
i forgot my original point,
