But it didn't take long for controversy to catch up with him. As his profile began circulating online, so did a wave of resurfaced hate comments - and fans were quick to uncover troubling patterns from his past. Soon after, it was revealed that Peng Jin Yu is a proud BLACKPINK fan, which in itself isn't an issue - K-pop fans are free to love who they love.

TBH I dragged so many people but didn't really hate anyone. Wasn't it idols being dragged into fanwars between fans? If you hate my actions, I apologize, ok?" the apology in question, no wonder they're not spreading it 😭😭😭 The tone struck many as dismissive, vague, and insincere - not a real apology, but a casual brush-off of serious allegations.
