Zico Criticized For Accepting Gifts

Despite the constant buzz, a Korean X (Twitter) account recently posted images of Zico receiving presents from fans on the street. These photos triggered criticism towards both the male idol and the fans who gifted him.

Netizens wasted no time in criticizing Zico and his supporters following the post. There is a widespread belief that if he truly was the one who broke into Goo Hara’s house, it would be highly unacceptable for him to act as if nothing happened and for fans to continue supporting him.

Despite numerous opinions stating otherwise, it should be noted that Zico vehemently denied all accusations and took extensive legal measures to defend himself against unfounded rumors. As a result, it is perfectly justifiable for him to accept gifts from his fans.

The following are some comments made by netizens:

Presents, bouquets, personalized notes – just imagine the effort and expense of showering someone like him with these gestures of affection.

Despite being embroiled in major and grave scandals, male artists continue to thrive in their careers thanks to devoted fans like these.

It’s unfathomable to safeguard and assist an individual like him.

He has already denied it. Why shouldn’t he be able to receive gifts?

On June 24th, KOZ Entertainment, the agency representing Zico, released a statement addressing the circulating rumors about the artist. The company strongly denied the defamatory and insulting content, labeling it as false. KOZ also reported that they have filed a complaint with the investigation agency and will take strict legal action against anyone spreading false news about Zico, showing no leniency.
