In particular, aespa’s Winter, who was also caught up in dating allegations at the event, received much backlash for her “thoughtless” Instagram posting following the controversial event.


“Winter is really thoughtless. Yesterday, all the celebrities who attended the W Korea event were getting criticized and being careful about posting on Instagram, with Jay Park even posting an apology. And yet, here she is posting photos of herself with her dog.
She’s being linked to BTS’s V and being attacked and sexually harassed, and yet the fans are the ones fighting and defending her. She’s posting advertisement photos and photos of her dog on Instagram and doesn’t come on Bubble this week. She really has no thoughts.”

However, netizens fiercely defended her, agreeing that she did nothing wrong.

- “What are you talking about? Is she guilty of something? She even left work early today because of the event.”
- “Seeing this, you’d think she was a traitor. She had a schedule to attend a magazine event, and she did nothing wrong, but now she’s getting bashed for posting an Instagram story. What did she do wrong that she needs to reflect on?”
- “I’m so tired of these delusional women…I really hope there aren’t any people around me who analyze and judge every action of others and get angry.”
- “It’s so annoying to see people who take screenshots and post them here begging people to criticize them.”
- “She just uploaded her advertisements and today’s event… what’s the problem?”
