K-drama superstar Lee Dong Wook, known for his calm demeanor, recently stunned fans by publicly addressing a wave of hate comments on the fan messaging app, Bubble.
A Star’s Unexpected Message
Lee Dong Wook is one of the few celebrities who actively engages with fans in real-time on Bubble. This platform allows paid subscribers to receive direct updates and messages from their favorite stars.
However, his recent messages took an unexpected turn. He directly confronted subscribers who found his communications “disruptive,” challenging them to simply unsubscribe if they were bothered.
Decoding the Disruption
Lee Dong Wook has been a consistent presence on Bubble, a platform popular with many K-pop idols and K-drama stars. While most fans use the app to show support, the actor revealed he’d been receiving negative comments, with some even telling him to stop sending messages entirely.
Instead of reacting in anger, Lee expressed genuine curiosity. “Why do they tell me to stop sending messages because it disrupts them at work?” he wrote, adding, “I’m seriously curious about the psychological aspect of saying something like that.”
Beyond the Backlash: A Deeper Look
The “Tale of the Nine Tailed” star pondered why these subscribers wouldn’t simply remove him, turn off notifications, or delete the app if they were so frustrated. He reiterated that he wasn’t angry, just genuinely puzzled by the behavior.
He acknowledged the economic aspect, expressing gratitude to those who pay to subscribe. He even extended thanks to those who leave negative comments, emphasizing his desire to understand the psychology behind their actions on a paid service.
A Newfound Perspective
Lee Dong Wook concluded his message by stating that he’s reached a point in his life where such comments no longer hurt him. He expressed a desire to see the expressions of these anti-fans as they write their inconsiderate remarks.
He playfully added that their attempts to seek attention ultimately result in a “win” for him. Before signing off, he left fans with a lighthearted request: “Anyway, recommend something for dinner. I’m always the one recommending things for you guys.”
