In the K-pop industry, stories and theories about certain celebrities are popular among fans and even antis. While several of the allegations are foolish and not that outrageous, others may damage the image and career of the artist or group.
Therefore, the stories must be taken seriously and adequately investigated before spreading to avoid harming innocent artists.
Here are some stories that were confirmed to be untrue:
