#*kiko

Kiko isn't "bashed" for being GD's girlfriend in Korea but rather for being involved in groups / activities / festivals etc. that glorify the Japanese Empire, for example posting and liking pictures on instagram of the rising sun flag and praying at the Yasukuni Shrine. Koreans take stuff like this VERY seriously and even kpop idols have been criticised heavily for wearing clothes with the flag pattern unintentionally. Of course she might get hate for her past relationship with GD but that applies to other idols as well. The fact remains that if she really was dating GD, then she should've been even more careful with such things. But she didn't, and that's the only real reason why she gets hate.
