1. [+148, -15] Isn't it expected for fans to like a star for a reason and then turning their backs on them once that reason is gone? They shouldn't be celebrities if they can't handle that or stop marketing themselves to uncle fans. Truly talented singers and actors don't care about whether they appeal to uncle fans. It's people like these girls that use their image to sell themselves.

2. [+85, -9] Of course it won't work. All of the fans will leave them. They can date, just don't expect to have any fans left around.

3. [+78, -8] Yeah, the girls are done... Not their fan anymore.

4. [+78, -10] Idols live off of their image... They have an obligation to their fans. They can't expect to be able to do anything they want while ripping off their fans' money, can they? Don't mess around with them by lying to their faces.

5. [+55, -7] A male and female cannot be "just friends", especially if the girl is pretty...

1. [+614, -53] It was good to see Jonghyun-Shin Se Kyung and Junhyung-Goo Hara admit that they were dating cleanly and just keeping their relationship on the downlow. It's really pitiful to see these idols denying something so obvious just so they can keep their paychecks.

2. [+478, -37] They're all obviously all dating, just denying it for their images. They're paying the price for it now with all this hate.

3. [+448, -36] These idols are basically products and dating creates a dent in the product.
