BoA opens up about hate comments

The singer recently appeared on Hyoyeon’s online channel, where she opened up about the hardships she has been through for the past few days owing to her participation on the show. She revealed that ‘GOT the Beat’ was not something she was too keen on joining, and had even rejected the offer quite a few times before accepting it.The idol revealed that she had been receiving regular hate, over rumours that the group was made ‘because of her’. She went on to admit that the hate comments had a major effect on her. Once the video was shared online, fans of the solo idol pointed out that most of the hate that she received for being in the group was prompted by Aespa fans.Many K-netizens took to online social media accounts and other forums to express their disdain over the matter, and specifically called out Aespa’s fandom for targeting BoA for no reason.One comment read, “Don’t you remember? People were hating on her back then, too, saying she ruined the rookie group’s image and messed up their plans”, while another read, “I’ve been a genuine fan of everyone from BoA to aespa, so honestly, I really liked GOT the beat’s promotions (not the songs, but the lineup^^). It was like a dream group for me… But seriously, why does BoA have to get all the hate? It’s so ridiculous. Do people really think BoA was the one who pushed for this? These delusional headcanons are just straight-up baseless hate”.
