DRIPPIN’s Minseo Shares Heartfelt Messages to Fans but Faces Rejection

Viral Allegations Surround DRIPPIN’s Minseo

Recently, a series of images and videos purportedly depicting DRIPPIN‘s Minseo with a woman have taken the internet by storm, igniting fervent debates among fans and netizens alike. This incident has brought back memories of previous rumors regarding Minseo’s alleged affectionate communications with a fan, which were initially reported by YouTuber Sojang a few years prior.

The Background of the Controversy

In 2022, the YouTube channel Sojang captured significant attention when it narrated the story of a fan, temporarily referred to as A, who rejected the advances of a male idol expressing special affection for her. This scenario was noteworthy because it portrayed a role reversal of the typical idol-fan dynamic, where fans often pursue idols, rather than the other way around. Leaked private KakaoTalk messages from Sojang revealed the male idol’s genuine interest in fan A.

Details of the Allegations

According to the leaked messages, Minseo showcased a keen interest in fan A. He would frequently position himself closer to her camera for better photo opportunities and even allowed her to influence his outfit selections. Furthermore, Minseo confided in A regarding his struggles post-debut and even wrote her letters to express his affection. Sojang later disclosed that the rookie male idol in question was, in fact, Minseo from DRIPPIN.

Minseo’s Clarification

In an unguarded message, Minseo addressed fan A directly, apologizing and clarifying that he had not been communicating or socializing with other fans as suggested in A’s post. Sojang speculated that A may have misinterpreted Minseo’s interactions with her, leading to misunderstandings about his intentions.

Minseo’s message read: “I saw your post and I have something to tell you. I haven’t texted with any fan other than you since 8:21 PM on Saturday, February 20. On March 19, 2021, I only responded to someone who messaged me asking their identity. I truly want to understand what has transpired. Please read my message.” After sending this, fan A chose to cease communication with Minseo, suggesting that the DRIPPIN member had misinterpreted their relationship.

Public Reaction and Ongoing Debate

Following the release of the video and allegations, public opinion became sharply divided. Many fans rallied behind Minseo, expressing their support while simultaneously critiquing Sojang for disseminating the controversial footage. Supporters praised Minseo for his kindness and emphasized that it is perfectly reasonable for idols to show appreciation towards their supporters.

Conversely, some critics believe that idols should refrain from forming such personal connections with fans. As of now, neither Minseo nor his management company, Woollim Entertainment, has issued any statements regarding the unfolding situation.
