Fans have been abuzz following Seventeen's Mingyu's brief interaction on social media with BLACKPINK's Jennie. Jennie recently shared a post teasing her upcoming solo album 'Ruby,' slated for a March release. Observant fans noticed that Mingyu had initially liked but then unliked Jennie's post, sparking varied reactions from the online community.

Some supporters of Mingyu highlighted his existing friendship with BLACKPINK's Lisa, suggesting his action was merely a show of solidarity with his friend's bandmate. On the other hand, critics called out Mingyu for not using a private account for such activities, alleging intrusion into the online lives of female idols.

The discussion among Korean netizens ensued:

- "Isn't Mingyu already close to Lisa and the BLACKPINK members?"

- "Remember when NCT’s Doyoung also faced backlash for liking Jennie's post?"

- "Perhaps it's just professional courtesy among industry colleagues."

While some criticized Mingyu for his online conduct, others defended him, stating that accidental likes are common and should not be blown out of proportion. The debate touched upon the scrutiny male idols face in comparison to their female counterparts and urged for understanding and discretion in such matters.

As the discourse continues, it raises questions about boundaries in social media interactions and the nuances of celebrity relationships. Despite the differing opinions, one thing is clear – the online world never fails to capture attention and ignite discussions.
