B2ST’s Yoseob rises as one of Korea’s most respected idols

Yoseob’s Twitter post created a buzz in the industry, as it asked B2ST’s fanbase to apologize for their baseless attacks made against another celebrity. Consequently, he’s risen as one of the most respected and mannerly idols in Korea.

He’s caught the attention of many industry representatives for being an exception; he’s one of the few, if not only, celebrities that had the guts to ask his fans to fix their wrongdoings.

Regarding the controversy, Yoseob and Junhyung met with Sports Chosun, and have earned the praise of the public once again for their deep words.

Junhyung revealed, “I’m not sure why those rumors came about.  I myself asked my company whether the rumor was true, and they said it wasn’t.  Since it wasn’t true, I thought that it’d be okay, but I was so surprised at what was happening.  We’ve seen so many hateful comments ever since our debut, and of course, there still are some.. but we try not to pay attention to them as much anymore.  We’ve become numb to them.”

Yoseob further added, “There’s a clear difference between attacking and criticizing. I was deeply hurt by a lot of hateful replies at the start of our debut.  Although I’m numb to them now, I was miserable at the time. I’m a man, so I can hold it in to a certain point, but that person (Rainbow’s Jaekyung) is a woman.  I know that she was hurt by the ordeal, which is what led me to write that Twitter post.”
B2ST is currently filming for their Japanese music video, and will be holding their encore concerts on February 18th and 19th.

B2ST’s fanbase posts an apology in response to Yoseob’s tweet

Yesterday, Yoseob took to his Twitter and asked fans to stop terrorizing Rainbow’s Jaekyung’s homepage because of casting rumors for ”We Got Married.” In response to the reprimand, B2ST’s fanclub ‘B2UTY’ has issued an official apology.

Yoseob previously expressed through his Twitter: “Because of the people that spat out words without any thought, the wounds are still not healing. It’s the same for anyone else, if not me.  No matter how it’s done or who they are, what I’m saying is that you cannot harm people.  Apologize.  Or shall I apologize on behalf of you?”

On January 7th, an apology was put up on the group’s official fancafe stating:

“B2UTY Official Apology
Us B2UTYs would like to make an official apology.  We’ve caused much damage towards SHINee and the SHINee World fandom.  People under the name of B2UTY have left unrespectable posts in the SHINee fancafe and have made it embarrassing for even the stars themselves to see each other without embarrassment.
Regarding the ‘We Got Married’ rumor casting between B2ST’s Junhyung and Jaekyung, many unrespectable B2UTYs have terrorized and left hateful messages on Jaekyung’s homepage, deeply wounding her.  We truly believe that as a woman, she has been deeply hurt, and we would like to genuinely apologize for that.
For a while, B2UTYs cherished an image of respect, but due to a few unrespectable B2UTYs, it seems as if that image has not been able to be held.  We would like to apologize for the fact that we even have unrespectable B2UTYs.
From now on, we will be working hard in order to hear that we are a respectable fanbase once again.
Once again, we would like to deeply apologize.“

Netizens have applauded the efforts of both that B2ST’s fanbase and Yoseob, as the latter stepped forward to stop cyber-bullying, and the former had genuinely apologized for the trouble.

A portion of his fanbase immediately began attacking Jaekyung’s homepages by leaving hateful messages, which eventually drove Yoseob to speak out and ask netizens to refrain from doing so.

Yoseob tweeted on the morning of January 7th, “Because of the people that spat out words without any thought, the wounds are still not healing. It’s the same for anyone else, if not me.  No matter how it’s done or who they are, what I’m saying is that you cannot harm people.  Apologize.  Or shall I apologize on behalf of you?”
