Korean netizens were recently in an uproar after the fiery female streamer Yuhwa revealed private messages with Jung Hae In. Specifically, the beauty had sent a message expressing her feelings to the star of Love Next Door, saying, “I love you.” Jung Hae In responded by liking her message.
Afterward, Yuhwa continued to express her shock when the famous actor liked her private message. According to the streamer, in both instances when she sent the message, Jung Hae In read them. “What is happening, Jung Hae In liked my message! A heart! It’s that heart. Oh my God, he reads everything I send. Unbelievable,” Yuhwa shared. Jung Hae In’s action of reading and liking a fan’s private message has sparked discussions and heated debates among Korean netizens on social media.
This move by Jung Hae In has led to debates about whether the actor was paying special attention, giving Yuhwa a chance to flirt with him, or if he interacts with all of his fans’ private messages in the same way. Some netizens believe that by interacting with a controversial streamer known for provocative content, Jung Hae In is tarnishing his image. Meanwhile, others argue that Jung Hae In’s act of reading and liking Yuhwa’s message is normal and doesn’t signify anything about their relationship.
“I’ve seen her IG, Yuhwa is very beautiful. It’s understandable why Jung Hae In reacted that way,” “He liked a flirtatious message from a streamer known for showing off her body, unbelievable,” “Are male artists this easy?” “I heard he likes everything fans send him. He’s a heart-dropping machine on social media,” “It’s strange that Jung Hae In is getting criticized for liking a private message from a fan. Is he wrong because Yuhwa is an adult content BJ (broadcaster)?”, “He’s grown up; he can judge for himself,” “I guess he thought Yuhwa was just a fan and had no other intentions,” Korean netizens are divided into two camps over Jung Hae In’s actions. Amid the controversy, Jung Hae In has yet to respond.
According to Korean media, Jung Hae In’s interaction became “sensitive” because the actor was previously embroiled in a scandal involving “chasing young women.” At the end of 2023, the YouTube channel Garo Sero Institute suddenly revealed that Jung Hae In was a regular at a nightclub involved in the Lee Sun Kyun drug case. “Madam K (Kim Nam Hee)”—the nightclub manager and Lee Sun Kyun’s mistress—was also linked to Jung Hae In. Garo Sero Institute also exposed messages between Jung Hae In and Kim Nam Hee on September 1, 2023, where the actor said he would visit the nightclub around 1-2 a.m. or on quieter nights to find one-night partners. However, Garo Sero Institute left the question open about whether the actor used drugs.
This suspicion immediately shocked netizens. The topic “Jung Hae In is a regular at nightclubs” even trended on Weibo, generating massive interaction. After being hit with such negative rumors, Jung Hae In and his management company have not provided any response. The actor’s silence has left fans anxious and unsure of the truth.
