Korean netizens are calling out an alleged former YG Entertainment employee after a series of supposed “insider leaks” about K-pop idols’ private lives began circulating online, many of which have already been debunked or dismissed as wild fanfiction.
The Discord “Leaker” and Resurfaced Controversies
The account behind the viral rumors, operating under the username YG Leaker on Discord, claimed to be a former YG staff member with access to confidential files from multiple entertainment companies. The buzz escalated when pre-debut videos of BLACKPINK members allegedly using the N-word resurfaced online, though not directly tied to the same leaks, they fueled discussions around old, controversial footage.
Despite the attempt to stir controversy, netizens were far from convinced, especially after previously “leaked” images, such as the now-debunked kissing photo of BTS’s V and BLACKPINK’s Jennie, proved false.
The Alleged “Leaks” That Sparked Laughter
Here’s the full list of the supposed insider revelations, which K-netizens have roundly dismissed:
- BTS’s V and BLACKPINK’s Jisoo are best friends.
- Red Velvet’s Irene and Seulgi are on bad terms.
- BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Lisa are on bad terms.
- The Weeknd fell in love with Jennie.
- BLACKPINK’s Rosé is in love with ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo.
- V-Kook (BTS’s V and Jungkook) isn’t real.
- ITZY’s Yuna is dating a 3rd gen boy group idol.
- BLACKPINK’s Jennie and BTS’s V broke up at the end of 2023.
- BTS is coming back in July or August.
- BLACKPINK’s Jennie dated EXO’s Kai from 2018 to 2019.
While some of these tidbits are already well-known or publicly confirmed (like Jennie and Kai’s past relationship), others were deemed far too dramatic or oddly phrased to be taken seriously.
Netizens React: “That Person is Seriously Unhinged”
Comments on platforms like Pann were filled with skepticism and amusement:
- Weekend ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Are they talking about The Weeknd? The V-Kook one is freaking hilarious ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
- It just looks like they pieced together random circulating rumors – honestly, they’re no different from the delusional folks on Nate Pann.
- Delusional international fan’s diary – End.
- If you look closely, overseas fans are even lower in quality, they’re all from Southeast Asia; that’s just their national character.
- The moment it mentioned Irene and Seulgi, the credibility completely dropped.
While the K-pop fandom is no stranger to leaks and rumors, this latest round has highlighted just how fast netizens are to question credibility and call out misinformation. As always, fans are reminded to verify sources, and maybe skip the Discord drama.
