Some Koreans are speculating why Karina dating news was revealed

Quote from naanoway

i swear some of you looko under your bed every night and expect hybe there

I wish it was Hybe. I hear disembodied whispers at night. I'm afraid there's something far scarier lurking under my bed.

That is the supposed dating ban though? No dating for the first 2 years after debut.

I feel like its a mix between his agency wanting more publicity for his drama so exposing it and Hybe was looking for something to help cover Yunjin's feminist book thing so helped it spread faster. We all remember what happened to Irene and LSF is also know for having a heavily male fanbase.

There is no way his agency was able to get SM to agree and confirm this 2-3 hours after it hit the headlines when we are normally waiting a day at the very least for some news. His agency is deffo involved somehow, they didn't even let it brew online for long and its been what? a month since they started dating?

No, the rumor is that dating bans are 3 years. Not 2, which is only a rule that JYPE supposedly has. Not SM and YG. And 2 out of 4 of those situations were before the supposed dating ban expired. SM doesn't care as long as you stay discreet, and YG doesn't care as long as you're not a flop. JYPE, I've heard mixed messages about.

I think this shows that dating bans aren't real and are not enforced 90% of the time. I think rookie artists are encouraged not to date because they have packed schedules (also image wise, but if you're already a huge artist, having a dating situation revealed has not been shown to hurt you), which is one of the reasons Baekhyun and Taeyeon supposedly broke up.

Also, artists have straight up said they aren't banned from dating, but fans ignore that because it's convenient for them. I think KPOP artists CAN date as long as they are lowkey and are not doing something that can ruin their image. Like that RIIZE kid being revealed to be dating a minor and taking her to a hotel. Though I think he was a minor too at the time. Things like that bring upon a sleazy image, so I can see an agency being upset about that. Though in the end, that wasn't even the main reason SM decided to shelve him since that was pre-debut.

And all that other stuff about Yunjin and his agency, not going to really comment on that since that's just pure fan speculation someone pulled out of where the sun don't shine, and probably will never be confirmed.

I doubt it has to do with Lfsm lol if it had to do with anything it had to be something bigger like political news like that are revealed when something major happens

Quote from Ves

But haven't you heard? Everything is Hybe payola.

I saw HYBE and I thought . . . of course. It's gotta be part of a conspiracy. Everything points to Hybe.
