It’s no secret that idols date, though they do usually do it…secretly. This is due to the backlash stars often receive when their relationships are exposed, like the many that have been through a new outlet, Dispatch.
“Dispatch Reveals” — 7 K-Celeb Couples Exposed By The Media Outlet
Usually, fans have the most to say, with some even expressing disinterest in an idol after they are discovered to be in a relationship, though international fans usually mock those with these feelings.
Recently, a fan’s response to an idol’s girlfriend warranted a surprising reaction from the idol.
Cai Cheng Yuan first attracted widespread attention for his appearance on Starlight Boys, where he was eliminated in episode five. He is currently a trainee under Ningbo Huajieyu Film and Television Culture Media Co., Ltd.
Recently, he was spotted at the airport, where a sasaeng fan confronted him.
Cai Cheng Yuan was allegedly traveling with his girlfriend, a fact he didn’t deny when the sasaeng mentioned it. When the sasaeng seemed to be upset over this, mentioning they would not fly with him, he seemed to “comfort” them, saying that that fact did not matter.
Sasaeng: “I’m not flying.”
Cai Cheng Yuan: “Oh?”
Sasaeng: “I’m not flying.”
CCY: “Why?”
Sasaeng: “Your girlfriend is here, why would I fly?”
CCY: “That doesn’t matter.”
While idols are known to love their fans, this is a reaction that is probably never been seen before!
