However, Korean netizens seem to have a completely different take on the matter.
| TheQoo- “Can’t they just not go to that country at all??? I’m not even a hardcore fan, but watching that video seriously made my heart drop. Why are they doing that to an innocent singer???? Do they have to go to that country? From what I’ve seen so far, they just keep making up rumors and throwing tantrums if things don’t go their way.”
- “Wow, judging from the comments, even JYP seems like a victim here. JYP idols are strong overseas anyway, so there are literally hundreds of other countries they could tour in. No need to go there at all.”
- “Seriously, they come across like a bunch of collective psychopaths. I hope no one goes to that country anymore. It’s not just one or two people acting like that, if the whole audience is doing it, that just shows the vibe and the level of that country.”
- “People who bought tickets were begging them not to cancel the concert??? From start to finish, everything that went wrong was your country’s fault! Do fans over there think K-Pop idols are just a joke or something? LOL. If JYP did anything wrong, it was not canceling the concert and ignoring the backlash. That’s literally the only mistake.”
- “Is there really any reason to go to a country that’s rude and doesn’t even spend money? K-Pop artists, let’s just skip that place from now on.”
