[K-Fans Reaction] Super Junior Channel Slammed Over NCT DREAM Jeno and Jisung Editing & Comment Controversy

The controversy surrounding NCT DREAM’s Jeno and Jisung has sparked major backlash after Super Junior’s YouTube channel IAMDONGBAEK engaged with a fan comment that compared the two idols. The controversy began when NCT DREAM Jeno and Jisung appeared on the channel for a two-part episode released on July 21 and July 28. Fans initially loved the chemistry, calling it a “father-son duo” moment, as Jeno and Donghae have long been compared for their visuals. However, backlash erupted after a staff account responded to a fan comment that criticized editing choices and claimed Jisung was given more screen time than Jeno. The official account replied, “It’s heartbreaking, but we’ll take the feedback to heart.”

This interaction was viewed as siding with a notorious anti-fan who regularly posts harmful remarks.

Fans were outraged, accusing the channel of disrespecting its guests. After hours of silence and mounting criticism, the problematic comment was finally deleted, and the channel posted an apology as the main comment on the video.

Aftermath and Apology:
Following mounting complaints, the channel deleted the controversial reply and issued a formal apology:

“We failed to thoroughly review some comments during our interaction on the NCT DREAM episode. The problematic response has since been deleted. We deeply apologize to anyone who was hurt and will work harder to be mindful of both our artists and fans.”

K-Fans React After the Apology:

However, fans didn’t find the apology sincere and continued to express anger:

@BBoeov
“LOL… for something that took so long, this feels so half-hearted.”

@BBoeov
“Honestly… just one last thing: it wasn’t even a subtle comment that needed deep reading — it was clearly malicious. The fact that they couldn’t discern that and still replied is infuriating. Even if we generously call it a mistake, shouldn’t they at least show a quick and sincere response? Instead, it felt like a drawn-out power struggle and then a reluctant apology.”

@double_js25
“Seriously, LOL. Changing the thumbnail to make someone look like a sidekick was already annoying, but then engaging with a well-known anti-comment? Are you kidding me? They even liked the comment. If you’re going to do that, why invite them in the first place? So disrespectful to your guest.”

@tlqkfttorrl1004
“The thumbnail and the liked comment are still there. They only deleted that one reply. There were plenty of positive comments, but why choose to respond to something like that? And what does ‘we’ll take it to heart’ even mean? That account has a history of leaving awful comments—when will the company take legal action? They’ve been harassing every video for years.”

“What on earth is ‘Donghae and friends’ doing? Seriously. Cozying up to an anti-fan? Now that I see it, even deleting it looks shady. What exactly are they taking to heart?”
