Park Seo Joon’s rumored girlfriend, YouTuber and singer xooos, is now facing online harassment from malicious comments.
On June 22nd, numerous malicious comments such as “You don’t suit Park Seo Joon” appeared on xooos’s Instagram and YouTube account.
Other netizens left comments such as “Disappointed in Park Seo Joon,” “She may be pretty, but I just can’t accept it,” “Seems like it’s good promotion,” “Do you want attention?”
On the other hand, there are also comments supporting the relationship of the two. Many netizens left comments like “Please date well,” “Don’t pay attention to the negative comments. I hope you two are happy. You’re both great. Always be happy,” “I came after reading the article, and xooos’ song is so good,” “Seo Joon’s girlfriend is so beautiful,” “Wow, you’re so beautiful,” “Indonesian fan is here,” “Brazil loves you,” and more.
xooos’s social media followers have also increased to a global influencer level. On June 20th, when the dating rumors between xooos and Park Seo Joon first surfaced, xooos was a YouTuber with 1.54 million subscribers, but within two days on June 22nd, the number of subscribers increased to 1.58 million, with an additional 40,000 subscribers.
xooos’s Instagram followers also saw a significant increase. Initially, during the early stages of the dating news, it was in the 600,000 range, but it later jumped to 760,700, increasing by over 80,000. The comments under her posts are predominantly from overseas netizens, including English, Thai, and Arabic responses.
On June 20th, it was reported that Park Seo Joon is dating YouTuber xooos. Park Seo Joon’s agency, Awesome ENT, said, “It’s difficult to confirm as it is the actor’s private life. Please understand.” In the past, Park Seo Joon had denied several dating rumors involving Nam Bo Ra, Baek Jin Hee, Park Min Young, stating that they were baseless. Thus, this official statement was seen as an implicit confirmation of the dating news.
Furthermore, on June 21st, during the press conference for the movie ‘Concrete Utopia,’ when asked about the dating rumors with xooos, Park Seo Joon responded, “I found out about the news late because I’m busy. After hearing the news, I thought, ‘I’m receiving a lot of attention. It’s a grateful thing.’” He continued, “I feel burdened about revealing my private life, and since it’s a personal matter, it’s difficult to say anything. This is the official first event for ‘Concrete Utopia,’ so I hope you take an interest in this movie.”
Park Seo Joon indirectly confirmed the dating rumors. As a result, Park Seo Joon’s fans are divided into those who wish him happiness and those who express their frustration through negative comments towards xooos.
In particular, Park Seo Joon is a globally popular actor, to the extent of appearing in Marvel’s upcoming film ‘The Marvels.’ Park Seo Joon has also received a lot of attention overseas as a close friend of BTS V, also known as “Wooga Squad.” As a result, his popularity has further increased with the added global interest.
If the romantic relationship between Park Seo Joon and Suzy is indeed true, Park Seo Joon’s response of “It’s difficult to talk about my personal life” could be seen as a respectful answer, considering both his partner and his fans.
If he were to say “We are dating,” more fans might leave, and if he were to say “We are not in a relationship,” it could hurt his girlfriend. Moreover, he has upcoming releases this year, including the movies ‘Concrete Utopia’ and ‘The Marvels,’ as well as the Netflix series ‘Gyeongseong Creature.’ By showing a respectful attitude towards the actors, production companies, and officials involved in these works, he has demonstrated good manners.
