Kpop idols are only humans like Korean pop fans. They make mistakes, and being in the spotlight is nearly impossible for them to hide when it happens. Sometimes, these Kpop idols deserve criticism of what they have done. But in the other time, they have no control over it. Still, whether with sensible reason or not, fans won’t let things go and hate Kpop idols. Look at these Kpop idols who get the most hate in the industry.

Kpop idols who get more hate in the Korean Pop industry (whether they deserve or not), and the reasons (whether sensible or not).

1. Blackpink Jennie

A post shared by J (@jennierubyjane) on Apr 10, 2020 at 8:09pm PDT

Because of the so-called “bad attitude,” scandals, and “lazy dancing” controversy, Blackpink Jennie became one of the most criticized and hated idols. Fans think that YG Entertainment was showing favoritism to her by giving better clothes and more promotions. It’s over years ago, but fans wouldn’t let these things go.

More hatred came when the dating rumor of BLACKPINK Jennie and BTS V arose. Although it’s not Jennie’s fault that the rumor circulated online, she became the hate comments target on social media.

Not only that, her choice of making acting debut in HBO’s The Idol also sparked controversies. Many have been waiting for Jennie to start her career in acting. Unfortunately, fans said that she made a poor choice by starring as Dyanne.

2. Red Velvet Yeri

A post shared by Yeri (@yerimiese)

Yeri has been hated since she was added as one member of Red Velvet. She is said to ‘disturb’ the group’s dynamic and doesn’t fit the style. Moreover, fans criticized her as lazy and uncoordinated on stage. Some even call her attention seeker for crying at Jonghyun’s funeral and having many famous friends.

Additionally, Yeri started acting in 2023 by starring in Bitch X Rich (also known Cheongdam International HIgh School) as Baek Jenna. As soon as the series was aired, fans started comparing her acting skill with her groupmates, such as Irene and Joy.

3. Momoland Nancy

A post shared by 낸시 Nancy Jewel McDonie (@nancyjewel_mcdonie_)

Back in her early teens, Nancy made a joke of bulimia, an eating disorder. That’s probably the main reason why Nancy becomes one of the most hated Kpop idols. Hopefully, as she gets older, she has learned the lesson, and fans can forgive her.

4. (G)I-DLE Soyeon

A post shared by SOYEON (@tiny.pretty.j)

Kpop fans criticize Soyeon because of a controversial topic. People accused her of cultural appropriation in (G)I-DLE’s music. Although it was not her fault, it made her to be one of the most hated female Kpop idols.

5. BTS Jungkook, BTS V, and BTS Jimin

These three youngest members of BTS get more hate than the rest of the BTS members. The reason of being the most hated male Kpop idols? It’s still unclear. However, there are also shippers of VMinKook among the fans who sometimes quarrels with other ARMY.

6. ASTRO Eunwoo

Astro Cha Eunwoo is good looking and attractive. That is why he gets hate from Kpop fans. Such an insensible reason, isn’t it?

Additionally, Kpop fans also accused Eunwoo for lacking of musical talent compared to other ASTRO members, such as singing or dancing – which he proves wrong. Eunwoo also received criticism for his poor acting in Kdrama Island (while some fans defended him).

7. EXO Kai

Well, well, Kai has had dating scandals, including with f(X) Krystal and Blackpink Jennie. It might be the reason why EXO Kai becomes one of the most hated male Kpop idols.

8. TWICE Tzuyu

A post shared by TWICE (@twicetagram)

Being the visual of TWICE, not having the best vocals, and lack of emotion on stage are the reasons people hate Tzuyu. It’s not her fault that she is good looking.

9.IZ*ONE Sakura

Fans think that Sakura got favoritism while on Produce 48. She was criticized for having too much screen-time compared to the other girls. In 2022, before re-debuting with her new group, LE SSERAFIM, Sakura once again received a lot of hatred and verbal abuse.

Fortunately during a Naver NOW Talk in October 2022, Sakura could finally speak up about being one of the female Kpop idols who get most hate.

“I had no natural talent, I only had the talent to work hard. In the past, it was very difficult to see malicious comments, but now I don’t care unless I really did something wrong. People only see things they want to see, so I’m like, ‘What do you want me to do?’”

10. Kang Daniel

People hate Kang Daniel for dating Jihyo and being the most famous member in Wanna One. But, it has been a year. People really need to move on. In fact, Kang Daniel is now having his own reality show and still popular after his two-months hiatus.

11. IU

A post shared by 이지금 IU (@dlwlrma)

Her scandal with Super Junior Eunhyuk makes people dislike her. Moreover, after BTS Jungkook described her as his ideal type and his ‘impossible crush’, people arouse more hate on IU despite her being kind and sweet. Additionally, whether it’s because of hatred or not, someone has reported IU for music plagiarism.

12. Mamamoo Hwasa

People hate Hwasa for being hot and sexy, yet at the same time, people call her fat and ugly. It is just because she doesn’t look like Korean beauty standards. For instance, her skin is darker, and she’s not as skinny as other female Kpop idols.

Not only that, but Hwasa also receives hate because of her boldness and bravery of being different. In 2023, she faced controversy because of her R-rated performances, like showing her breasts during the group’s concert or even doing seductive move during a performance at one South Korean university.

13. Super Junior Choi Siwon

A post shared by 최시원 (@siwonchoi) on Apr 11, 2020 at 2:46am PDT

The scandal was in 2017 that Siwon’s family dog bit a neighbor, who then died from an infection. This issue resulted in huge debate in South Korea about safety around pet animals in crowded cities like Seoul. But, hey, it happened like three years ago. Why don’t people just let it go?

14. EXO Chen

Chen, whose real name is Kim Jong-dae, faced a backlash in 2020 when he announced his engagement and impending fatherhood. Some fans expressed disappointment or disapproval due to the surprise nature of the announcement and the perception that it may affect his commitment to the group. However, some haters keep hating him until now although he has shown his commitment with EXO and his natural kindness.

15. Red Velvet Irene

Irene faced criticism for her behavior towards a stylist, which resulted in public backlash. She also received criticism for her acting skill, especially in Double Patty where she debuted her acting career with Shin Seung Ho.

Excuse me but Jennie, really? She spent 6 years as a trainee and she spent the longest years among the members training and people call her lazy? What the fuck! Yet those who even call her lazy are the ones lying their ass off in a couch or somewhere calling her one. Seriously, people need to use their brain.

Please don't hate on other Kpop Idols just because of what they look like, how they act, what color their shin is or what race they are we are all equal. For example I'm Half Korean, Half Indian and i get hate comments all the time and es they hurt my feelings but that's what makes me stronger. I just want to say to all the Idols out there is Be Safe and be you...

Why Do you hate Cha EunWoo for being good looking? It's not his fault to be born handsome. I can't understand those people who hate him for that.
