Article: SNSD's public relationships, 'will it affect their popularity'

1. [+4,413, -433] SNSD are veterans, I don't think a few dating rumors will impact their popularity that much...

2. [+3,880, -565] SNSD is practically 10 years into their career now. They're one of the only girl groups to reach this milestone and there isn't any other girl group to follow them in terms of beauty, talent, and teamwork unless SM comes out with a new girl group. As for dating rumors, well... center Yoona and positive image Lee Seung Gi dating is rather a positive thing, not a negative, for the group.

3. [+3,003, -378] Sone and SNSD are both eight years running. Even fans didn't think that SNSD would last this long and thought 'Gee' would be the height of their career since the only other girl groups to last as long was SES and FinKL with five years. The members are great at managing their images, however, and Sones are extremely loyal, which is how they've made it this far. Fans know just how hard the girls have been working for them. They will not falter over something as minor as this. Sones will always be supporting them to have a good relationship and comeback soon. All nine could be in dating rumors for all I care, as long as they don't delay their comebacks.

4. [+2,530, -270] They have a loyal fanbase

5. [+598, -66] The only fans to be impacted by dating rumors are male fans and male fans have already moved on to other girl groups easily. The main fans left are female so the dating rumors have no impact on them.

6. [+527, -56] Soshi has too many female fans for this to make much of an impact~~

7. [+503, -65] Not a big deal to be dating nowadays.. Celebrities are human too.

8. [+531, -102] I'm going to continue to be a fan

1. [+205, -8] It's not only Soshi, I bet 9 out of 10 idols are dating, just that it hasn't been revealed yet ㅋㅋㅋ So stop buying your idols expensive gifts and invest towards your own futures.

2. [+142, -10] It doesn't matter for most celebrities... the ones dating rumors impact the most are the ones who sold themselves to the public as the nation's little sister, first love, all those innocent image types.

3. [+100, -6] Dispatch or Sports Seoul won't follow you around unless you're a top star so the rest of you can just date in secret all you want...

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+668, -90] Well the fans are in a mental breakdown so as the leader, she's posting to console them. Honestly, the members didn't want to go public with it, they were practically forced to. I'm sure Soshi's having a hard time.

2. [+530, -75] SNSD are at the age to be in love. As a fan, I support them and feel that it's their right to be in love and live as they want.

3. [+459, -144] As expected of the leader ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+46, -11] I thought of a lot of things while listening to the song... As an SNSD fan, this is our first time experiencing something like this and I know we should be cool about it but it's easier than it sounds... We should be the one supporting them but Taeyeon's the one supporting us ㅠㅠㅠ This is why I love her, she's always thinking of her fans ㅠㅠ Comeback soon... love you.

5. [+45, -6] It really feels like she's by our side, patting our backs, saying it'll be okay..

6. [+44, -20] As a Sone, I was really upset because of SNSD... but after listening to Taeyeon on Instagram, I really reflected on myself.. ㅜㅜ I should be the one giving the girls strength but I'm the one receiving it instead.. ㅠㅠ I guess this is why I'm their fan...
