Jennie (Blackpink), IU and the series of Kpop Idols almost ruined their careers because of fake scandals

There are many reasons for Kpop idols to be "stoned", but besides the reasonable reasons, there have also been extremely ridiculous reasons, sometimes created by antifans themselves.

It can be said that a fake scandal is one of the worst things that can happen to a K-pop idol, as some netizens are quick to judge without giving any solid evidence. Controversies like this have happened many times and almost ruined the careers of some idols.

Here are some Kpop idols who almost ruined their careers because of blatantly contrived scandals.

1. Kim Wooseok

Near the end of 2016, many netizens accused Wooseok of intentionally touching Somi's breasts in a video.

Wooseok received a backlash for this incident but it was soon made clear that Wooseok did not touch Somi's breasts at all.

Somi's agency at the time, YMC Entertainment, even released a statement after discussing it with Somi.

"The filming was done while the manager was watching and after checking with Somi, Wooshin and the manager, there wasn't any such physical contact.

Jeon Somi expressed concern and surprise at such theories being made.

We would like to confirm once again that the allegations made are not true. We will be careful not to worry our fans again. Thank you" - YMC Entertainment and SBS MTV The Show.

Forensic analysis was also performed and the results proved that Wooseok was indeed innocent.

While Wooseok was proven innocent, some netizens still criticized him for his actions and demanded that he apologize.

All of this led Wooseok to interrupt UP10TION's activities, as his mental health was severely damaged.

During Jennie's early days, some people tried to spread the word that Jennie was a bully during her school days.

These rumors were eventually proven to be untrue and are believed to have been spread by a female idol hater from YG Entertainment.

These rumors turned out to be untrue and YG Entertainment even warned about taking legal action against the person who spread the rumors.

4. Baekho (NU'EST)

Pledis Entertainment denied all these accusations and tried to prove Baekho's innocence.

In 2019, IU was accused of being involved in a real estate investment scandal.

Many netizens have come forward to criticize her actions even though nothing has been proven.

"The claims that are being made regarding IU's construction and land purchase are not true.

We are collecting information on the many negative rumors and comments that are circulating online and the evidence submitted by fans, and will take strict legal action against the spreading of rumors. false and defamatory character related to our artist" - Kakao M.

The rumor was proven false and many netizens apologized to IU for making hasty judgments.

This is probably uncountable, as the T-ara members have suffered a lot after this scandal.

In 2012, it was rumored that member Hwayoung was bullied by other members of the group.

Netizens soon gathered "evidence" of bullying from past broadcasts.

All of this caused T-ara's image to drop significantly and all the members had to suspend activities due to the backlash.

However, there have been many reports in the past claiming that Hwayoung lied. T-ara's ex-manager even spoke out about the rumors being untrue.
