Fans unilaterally expressed outrage over the report, with many criticizing the article for shaming idols in relationships.
- Why does Jennie need to apologize?
- You guys should be the ones apologizing.
- Sigh, making Karina apologize is weird…
- Is this something to apologize for?
- Why are they telling celebrities to apologize as if it has social ramifications? That’s some really twisted logic.
- The journalist is a crazy b@stard. Do they need to apologize for dating? And are they dating themselves?
- This journalist needs to be the one apologizing.
- What is going on? Why is dating so bad that they need to apologize? You should focus instead on celebrities who commit actual crimes.
Meanwhile, Karina has apologized to fans in a handwritten letter. You can read more about it in the link below.
