Some comments from Knetizens on theqoo: 

  • “This came from a singer of the popular song on TikTok. I’m so upset just by reading this.”
  • “It seems he wants to gain traction from K-Pop fans.”
  • “Who tf laughs off using someone else’s funeral picture? Is he out of his mind? It’s not a stock picture.”
  • “Why is he using someone’s trauma to entertain his fans? I don’t want this to be a meme. I hope he could just leave Jonghyun alone.”
  • “Us getting upset is not ‘extreme fans overreacting’. This is a legitimate reaction of anyone with some common sense.” 
  • “Ha, it seems he deleted all his tweets regarding this incident.”
  • “K-Pop fan or not, regardless of his nationality, how could a human being be this inconsiderate?”
  • “Every single time when something like this happens, they say they didn’t mean it and we’re overreacting. I’m sick and tired of people using someone else’s trauma for their clout.”
