ユンホの🫧で話題になってるけど〜そもそもファンに対して攻撃的になったのってオギとべったりしてからだよね〜🫧もサボってオギとプラベでデート三昧〜スタイリストが公式のビハインドにがっつり映る〜こんなの許してきたから今に至るんだよ〜😇匂わせレベルじゃないアイドル失格〜#ユノ#東方神起 pic.twitter.com/kIEIyEJp7B

Everyone’s talking about Yunho’s Bubble messages, but honestly, he only started getting aggressive toward fans after he became so attached to [stylist], right? He’s been neglecting Bubble too, spending all his free time going on private dates with [stylist]. The stylist even shows up prominently in official behind-the-scenes content. This is what happens when people keep letting things like this slide. It’s gotten to this point. This isn’t even just hinting at a relationship anymore—he’s disqualified himself from being an idol.

Many have reacted to the claims, in defense of U-Know, reminding that he is 40 years old and that him dating would be normal.
dude he’s 40 years old, let the man date freely! 🤨 as an idol, he’s given 23 years of his life to fans already https://t.co/UeLBE2JFD9
