It seems like all 3rd gen “it girls” already have a big controversy under their names now

Either a bully or abuse of power drama where they’ve been involved:

- Seolhyun

- Irene

- Naeun

Or other minor controversies such as dating news or using revealing clothes:

- Jennie

- Hwasa

Although, both Jennie and Hwasa’s reputations are still clean with the GP

The only one drama free is Arin and maybe Hani (but her peak is long gone now)

Quote from itiswhatitisss

And...? So what? Most popular idols have been in at least one controversy at one point in their career. You can't expect them all to be scat-free, people can also make up controversies to bring down idols they hate as well.

This is just a weird revelation.

+ Arin was already under fire for her skinship with Soobin so

It was never as serious as now. Seolhyun’s career got basically ruined. We still have to see what happens with Irene but it seems pretty clear to me that she lost some popularity too

The skinship and dating news are nothing compared to that. Only jobless antis care about it

Quote from Serendipity2000

I'm sorry but I don't think revealing clothes and dating are even scandals tbh.

Yep, that’s why I put them as minor scandals. They made headlines but the reactions from the public were mixed and a lot of people actually supported them

Quote from giskard

It's stupid that mid 20's people dating is a "controversy" in the first place. Just say no to infantilizing Kpop stars.

I mean, dating is still controversial even for western pop stars. Look at Taylor Swift and JB
