Yet, amidst the criticism, netizens have come to the rapper’s defense. While some explained how popular the bond between Young Ji and Yujin was, others explained that fans just seemed to enjoy “hating” on the rapper for reasons that they didn’t understand.
idk feel like people don’t realize youngji is one of the biggest forces who brings that stage confidence in yujin on that performance? i mean yeah yujin is always good and will always deliver the best but u could obviously see how she enjoys the stage cuz there’s youngji as well
