Legendary Idol Sparks Heated Debate After Being “Exposed” For Privately Messaging Influencer

Former TVXQ member Kim Jaejoong sparked debate after private messaging a livestreamer.

On March 12, an online post titled “Kim Jaejoong Got Exposed For DMing A Livestreamer And YouTuber” went viral.

In the post, the author uploaded an Instagram story from livestreamer Yurijoa. Yurijoa is a popular streamer on both streaming and YouTube platforms.

In her post, Yurijoa revealed that Kim Jaejoong had messaged her. In his message, the idol wrote, “Fighting, gather strength.” The idols’ words of encouragement comes after the streamer recently revealed she was battling cancer.

Woah, Daebak. What just happened?

Netizens responded to the post with mixed reactions. While some argued it was inappropriate for the idol to have messaged the streamer, many defended the idol’s actions as genuine support for the streamer.

• This post is so misleading.
• Such a turn-off.
• He should just support her silently.
• This post is so misleading, lol. If you look at her recent videos, there is nothing problematic.
• He hasn’t changed.
• Looking at the comments, I think this post is really misleading… I am pretty sure he was being supportive of her since she has cancer.
• Isn’t it okay to send it if she has cancer? I swear I’m not his fan, lol.
• This post is misleading.
• I mean, just keep to yourself. She’s a non-celebrity.
• I’m not surprised.
• If I hadn’t read the comments, I might have misunderstood the situation.
