BoA opens up about hate she received for joining ‘GOT The Beat'; K-netizens claim Aespa fandom behind attack

BoA is finally opening up about braving the wave of hate comments she has been receiving. The star delved into the criticism she faced online at the hands of trolls and other people who slammed her for her participation in the popular supergroup 'GOT the Beat'. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now BoA opens up about hate comments The singer recently appeared on Hyoyeon's online channel, where she opened up about the hardships she has been through for the past few days owing to her participation on the show. She revealed that 'GOT the Beat' was not something she was too keen on joining, and had even rejected the offer quite a few times before accepting it. The idol revealed that she had been receiving regular hate, over rumours that the group was made 'because of her'. She went on to admit that the hate comments had a major effect on her. Once the video was shared online, fans of the solo idol pointed out that most of the hate that she received for being in the group was prompted by Aespa fans. Aespa's fans called out Many K-netizens took to online social media accounts and other forums to express their disdain over the matter, and specifically called out Aespa's fandom for targeting BoA for no reason. One comment read, 'Don't you remember? People were hating on her back then, too, saying she ruined the rookie group's image and messed up their plans', while another read, 'I've been a genuine fan of everyone from BoA to aespa, so honestly, I really liked GOT the beat's promotions (not the songs, but the lineup^^). It was like a dream group for me… But seriously, why does BoA have to get all the hate? It's so ridiculous. Do people really think BoA was the one who pushed for this? These delusional headcanons are just straight-up baseless hate'.

Watch: BTS' Jin unable to continue with Moon intro as fans make him laugh, gets emotional at Pink Epiphany project

BTS member Jin is currently touring solo for the first time. A unique go, far surpassing the traditional K-pop touring standards, Jin has made the experience all the more fun for his concert goers and among the highlights is the moment when he returns towards the end for an encore. Stepping down between the crowd, he aims the mic at his fans, and the ARMY never disappoints at wanting to be picked. One duo at his London day 2 show managed to grab the singer's attention with their underwater goggles. Jin was so taken aback that he could not continue normally during the spectacle and ended up giggling through it. Another surprise awaited the star when a series of fan events showed the city's love for him. Many surprises await Jin at the London Day 2 concert A couple grabbed Jin's eyes with their unique fashion sense and quick wit. Giving them the mic to follow through with the Moon intro segment of his concert, he couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably, being unable to continue with his bit. Finding amusement in his worries, fans noted how this was the first time the BTS member couldn't successfully sing the track himself due to the hilarity of the situation. In a separate heartwarming moment from the concert, his first-ever solo track Epiphany from the group's Love Yourself: Answer album, saw a fan project unfurl at the venue. Fans turned on their flashlights right as the first strings of the song began shocking the singer himself, who noted the pink ocean in front of him, and a smile broke out on his face. It was the only time, the utterly emotional track was turned into a happy moment instead of the usual vibe that it was made with. Jin later thanked the fans for their many attempts at making it a memorable night for him.
