Fans took matters into their own hands by debunking recent rumors about NCT's Jungwoo.
Following rumors surrounding NCT members Johnny and Haechan earlier this week, one Chinese netizen accused another member, Jungwoo, of visiting a club and "hanging out with girls" some time in May.
However, fans soon found that the photos posted by the accuser were in fact photos of Jungwoo taken after a DJ PEE .WEE (a.k.a Anderson .Paak) show at a live venue in Seoul. The female individual he was photographed with was solo artist Moon Sujin, and another male acquaintance had also been present.
K-netizens reacted with comments like,
"Why do people believe in stories made up by sasaengs?"
"Some Haechan fan got mad and started spreading false rumors about Jungwoo. That's all it is."
"I don't know why but for some reason NCT 127's crazed sasaeng fans are all going out of control this year."
"If I were an NCT member, I would have lost all faith in humanity by now. The lies that people make up to bring others down..."
"I'm genuinely scared of these delusional sasaeng fans. They're not going to stop until something seriously bad happens."
"Those pics were taken outside in the first place so how can anyone know if they were event at a club??"
"So many crazy overseas fans making up ridiculous rumors about idols these days."

They're under attack, like Seventeen and RIIZE before them, and I swear it's getting worse.
.
The only reason though, that they're doing it, is because it's a 'scandal' for idols to have a life at all outside their profession. If it weren't a 'scandal' for them to do what millions of people do every day, all over the world, because it's totally normal behaviour, it wouldn't matter what their sasaengs posted.

Something has to change.
