TXT fans are really planning to protest against Soobin with funeral flower wreaths?Nah, I refuse to believe this is actually happening There’s no way these are genuine OT5 fans.

The situation has also raised concerns about how some people react when their favourite groups face controversies. However, this raises an important question about how far such criticism should go. If someone is targeted by deepfake images, why should they be blamed for something they may have had no control over? The focus should be on the person responsible for creating or spreading such content, not the individual whose image has been misused.
Criticism should never become an excuse to humiliate or emotionally hurt another person. More importantly, idols are human beings with feelings, and their fame does not make them targets for public attacks. They deserve the same basic respect as anyone else, even when controversies arise.

Lastly, fans do not have to agree with everything their favourite idols do. But there is a line between criticism and cruelty, and that line should not be crossed.
Being a fan means supporting your idols, not making their lives miserable.
