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.

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.
