Not long ago I found a 2 years old article that talked about a rumor that is allegedly was a true fact. A fifteen years old Japanese boy, which is a trainee (people that trains to be a singer or entertainer under an entertainment company) from a big Korean company called YG ent. named Watanabe Haruto (Now is a member of a Korean group called Treasure)

It is said in the article that the 15 years old was being canceled by the fans of the survival show that he is on, because of a dating issue. This boy is apparently was being exposed by his ex-girlfriend after she felt being played by Haruto because he broke up with her after 2 months of dating. Now, something that you need to know about YG entertainment, there are rules that where all of the artists are allowed to date “officially” after their 5th year of career. So the fact that this teenage Japanese boy was caught red-handed dating a girl, the fans are apparently hated the news.

What I meant by red-handed, I meant truly red-handed, his known to be ex-girlfriend is sharing the internet screenshot of their chat, Haruto’s personal pictures and videos, and a video that seems to be taken while these two lovers are video-calling each other. The video was shown that there is a phone laying while Haruto was talking back to back with the girl.

So, in conclusion, the K-Netz and YGTB(the survival that I talked about earlier) fans are upset and start to cancels him because this 15 years old boy is dating secretly….Okay…… Is that already sound weird to you or should I explain it more.

Here is the example, YG entertainment is the parents, Haruto is the child. The parent said “no dating!”. Now if I ask, everyone has that one boy/girl in their middle school or high school that they have a crush on. Even dare to say that that is love. Even though it is 98% is not. But will you take the chance if the one that you like liked you back? Would you date him/her even though your parents say no? Probably yes.

Even not all of them, but teenagers have their own method to learn. They try to smoke, they fight, they break the rules, then they got punished or they feel the consequences and then that is when they all learned the lesson. That is called a life lesson. And I am absolutely positive that other people other than the parents, the representatives, and themself has nothing to do with it.

I’m not saying what he has done is correct. It is completely wrong and he needs to be punished by someone who has the right to. Do you know what bothers me so much? These people then start a new rumor that he send more pictures of himself to other “pretty” Korean girls through DM’s. And they are angry about it?

People start to make a petition to bail him up from a group. Stating the fact that he “dated” will ruin the group.

Not enough with the issue that was already blown up. A video of Haruto’s Instastory was leaked. The video shows how his (probably) trainee friends at YG watched Blackpink’s Kill This Love M/V on his birthday. And shockingly he flipped off his finger to his friends. Yeah… the middle ones. His fans defend him saying that the middle finger was a sign for “older brother”. But that is just sound made up and not making any sense.

So, what did the K-Netz said about this? Not focusing on the fact that he is “jokingly” flipped off his friends. But the K-Netz apparently mad because he did that while they are listening to Blackpink’s song and called him “disrespectful” to his seniors. Like what? Since when did Kill This Love become a holy song where you need to keep your attitude on when this song is played?

Lastly, I just wanted to say that the pressure that K-Netz and fans load on these artists is no joke. They expect the artist to be a flawless person that never makes sin in their life, pure as an angel. But guess what, they are humans. They make mistakes. I’m just seeing this problem from the outside we never know what happened on the inside of the entertainment industry, maybe worst. How can you expect your favorite singer to be obedient all the time? Love them as it is. Love them because of their work and achievement and if that is not enough for you then you need to learn more about humanities.

As a closing, I would like to say I am so sorry if there are any word mistakes or something that makes you feel offended or hurt by this writings. What I wrote is not 100% right, it is my opinion on a problem and I am trying to make you see from my perspective.
