IU's boyfriend Jisoo faces pressure every day when he has a girlfriend who is a K-pop idol

Despite being famous actors, Lee Jae Wook, Lee Jong Suk and Ahn Bo Hyun still have to endure many gossip and difficulties because of romances with girlfriends who are K-pop stars.

Step back in time to follow the dating rumor history of idol stars. The first is SNSD's Sooyoung and actor Jung Kyung Ho.

At the beginning of dating, the couple faced a lot of pressure, so many times vehemently denied their relationship. It wasn't until 2014 that the two dared to go public with their romance. Although it was SNSD's peak, when it came to their relationship, Sooyoung shared that it was "the most stressful days" and expressed extreme pressure, saying, "There weren't many public relationships back then." But now, the couple has been acknowledged by the public as a longtime couple and received many blessings.

Although it has been more than 1 decade, up to now, publicizing the love relationship of Kpop idols has not been comfortable and easy, especially for gir.l groups. Even due to the global spread of K-pop, criticism from fans about idols' dating issues has escalated on a global scale.

According to local media, many actors such as Lee Jae Wook, Lee Jong Suk and Ahn Bo Hyun suddenly became "enemies" of the public because they had girlfriends who were female members of K-pop groups. Just looking at the recent plight of these three actors, they have been constantly embroiled in controversy, making their anguish incomparable.

First, the most prominent topic of recent dating rumors is Lee Jae Wook, who is enduring harsh criticism after confirming his relationship with Aespa singer Karina. Since admitting to the relationship on February 27, actor Lee Jae Wook has faced criticism for his appearance, on top of that, false rumors about his unfounded private life have spread, causing him great distress.

Karina's situation is just as difficult as her boyfriend's. Antifan constantly criticized Karina for a variety of reasons, including her role as leader of Aespa and her dating. A truck protest was even held in front of Karina's agency SM Entertainment, which read, "Isn't the love your fans have for you enough? Why did you choose to betray your fans? Please apologize."

Constantly facing backlash and malicious comments from the public, Lee Jae Wook's agency has spoken out and will take strong legal action to protect the actor's reputation and image against baseless accusations.

Similar to the couple Karina - Lee Jae Wook, Blackpink's Jisoo and actor Ahn Bo Hyun also faced a crisis from public opinion. Despite gaining a strong foothold in the film industry, Ahn Bo Hyun has become a target for ridicule, with netizens constantly criticizing his appearance and popularity as unworthy of his girlfriend. However, unlike the Karina couple, due to succumbing to pressure from public opinion, Jisoo and her boyfriend quickly announced their separation after only 2 months of officially confirming the relationship.

Compared to Lee Jae Wook and Ahn Bo Hyun, Lee Jong Suk is having a relatively smooth relationship with his girlfriend IU. However, that doesn't mean their relationship isn't without twists and turns. The two admitted to dating on Dec. 31, 2022. Although a year has passed, IU and Lee Jong Suk continue to attract attention, but this excessive attention gradually becomes toxic, leading to breakup rumors that continue to erupt. Fortunately, the rumors were quickly dispelled thanks to pictures of Lee Jong Suk attending IU's concert on March 2.

However, as long as male stars embrace and kiss their lovers, the relentless "love suffering" is expected to continue. Of course, if you're a true fan, shouldn't you send loving glances to young couples who have bravely conquered love, instead of imposing harsh standards on them with excessive love?
