Fans are expressing anger after fromis_9's Lee Chae Young ended a live stream crying.

On January 17, Lee Chae Young began a live stream with fans on the fan community app WeVerse only to end the stream in tears. One malicious fan was observed by other fans posting malicious comments several times. It's reported the malicious comments included personal attacks against the fromis_9 members and abusive language towards their parents.

fromis_9's fanbase is now demanding agency HYBE take measures to protect their artists, and they've begun spreading a message on social media that states, "HYBE stop overlooking this. These things have been going on for more than a year. I believed the announcement that HYBE would sue malicious posts, but I think they should know this is happening."

Other fans on WeVerse also commented, "The level of malicious comments idols are experiencing are getting higher day by day," "I want them to stop overlooking this," "This is happening to all the fandoms," and more.
