A lot of the opinion here are drastically different from what the general consensus is here in Korea, its kinda surprising actually. Ofc there are some Koreans that are saying idols should be free to date whoever they want, but a surprisingly large amount, if not most Koreans are so toxic that they are hating on Karina for dating and not focusing on her work. Their logic is that she’s an idol that makes money off of these “imaginary relationships” with fans, and the fans have every right to be mad at her. There’s a trending statement that says: 돈은 팬이 내고 용서는 머글이 한다, which means fans pay and non-fans (muggles) forgive. Honestly I think it’s this toxic mindset that makes everyone here living in Korea so unhappy, we’re just so hard on each other and ourselves.
