Idols who faced backlash for the most trivial things

In today's age of instant information, everyone, especially celebrities and public figures, must be cautious of their actions since they're consistently under public scrutiny. Celebrities can sometimes face criticism for their choices, reflecting the critical nature of our current society. Yet, there are instances where idols face backlash for the most trivial reasons imaginable.

Here are some of the many times that has happened.

BTS V - For... sitting

People got mad at him for 'manspreading,' saying he should not have done that. Maybe because seeing how tight of a space Soobin has made them a little bit more 'protective,' but then again, Soobin was very much a rookie then; he was probably feeling shy and nervous anyway, and that's probably his most comfortable position anyway. 

SHINee Key - For walking

While promoting his 2nd studio album, "Gasoline," a short clip of him walking during his music show stage had gone viral for two things: fans going crazy for how he was 'slaying' on stage but also, at the same time, people were also calling him slurs and other fans did not like the fact that someone said he was the only one doing something interesting at the time. The video randomly went viral outside of K-Pop, so even non-K-Pop fans were making fun of him.

tripleS Yooyeon - Not knowing how to use a knife properly

People were coming for her for not knowing how to use a knife correctly. Of all the other things she can do, of course, people with lots of time on their hands would want to comment on the one thing she cannot do. I'm sure she has practiced a lot since. 

Jay Chang - For every little thing

If you kept up with MNET's show, Boys Planet, you would know how messy 'Bep1er Twitter' was every day, as there were always dramas popping out just because people were always nitpicking the trainees. Jay was one of the trainees who were always the center of unnecessary backlash. He was very popular for his outstanding vocals, but with fame comes envious eyes who are always finding fault, and in this one, it's simply because he stood sideways, different from everyone else. 

TWICE Dahyun - For skipping a YouTube Ad

While she was doing a live stream, she went on YouTube to watch a video but skipped an ad that was a Blackpink music video, and of course, Blinks were mad, saying Dahyun was against Blackpink for doing so. 

IVE Wonyoung - For eating a strawberry

No context; it was just another day of people getting mad for no reason, and this one was just because Wonyoung was eating a strawberry. 


BTS Jungkook - For eating an apple

Another no-context moment was when Jungkook uploaded a video of him simply eating an apple, and well... he got backlash for it. 

PENTAGON - For wearing pink

For absolutely no reason, a certain fanbase attacked Pentagon for wearing pink, claiming that the group 'copied' their favorite group for wearing the same color. Sometimes, people just have too much time on their hands, right?

ngl the knife, and strawberry ones pissed me off cause

1. How tf do you not know how to use a knife at your age? Trying to look cute, and you just look stupid.

2. .....come on. I have never even seen a child that has stable control of their hands eat a strawberry like that. Again- trying to look cute and you just look goofy. IDC.
