This kind of news is put on the front page every day
Do you want us to pay attention to that country that much?

This kid is Japanese so there's reason to report on it but yesterday's Jihyo? and Dankan? or something, didn't make sense to me. I don't think the dating news of two foreigners should be making headlines unless they have Hollywood star level recognition.
3. [+4299 / -759]
Yesterday they acknowledged it, today they denied it.
Was yesterday's news a cover up for something they really wanted to hide?
What I end up thinking when it's about the entertainment industry.

Heechul is a fan of Momo, right?
Momo is cute and good at dancing
Heechul is pro-Japanese—he released a Japanese ramen book and he loves Love Live—but he's also deeply patriotic
Hmm.... If it's true, it seems like Momo will have a hard time
If his political opinions can align more closely to Japan's, it could work out but... probably won't happen

I don't really care but Japan-Korea relations are really bad right now. With the situation as it is, they probably had to deny it.

36 years old and 22 years old, the age gap is way too big,
7. [+700 / -109]
This is probably news that old men and women think is irrelevant and have no interest in but it's big news for young kids.
I'm an old fart though so I wouldn't understand.

The fact that this is on the front page isn't because there's demand for it, but because the administrators have strong wishes for people to read this article.
No matter how you look at it, this isn't the type of article that should be on the front page.

Heechul said that even if he's dating someone there will never be a photo taken of the two of them, and that he'll make sure the relationship will never leak so fans won't be sad, and that that's normal when you're an idol, so I don't think they'll ever go public.
But Momo could've chosen a younger idol to date...

Koshien is starting and it's also the day of the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Ceremony. I really want the Japanese media to rethink before they decide to put this kind of news on the front page.

Dankan lol
Isn't it Kang Daniel?

Dankan, from Takeshi Gundan

If you think about TWICE's popularity, there's plenty of reason to report on it.

Dankan! Bakayarou!

Spat my food out when I read Dankan

There are no 'Who?' comments or any hate comments so that's not too bad?
Ah, but getting his name wrong is rude!
If you don't know it, the best thing to do is not post a comment.
I like K-POP but I get news way faster on Twitter than on the front page of Yahoo. I think most fans get their news from Twitter.

I don't care if a Japanese person is dating someone
It's not about hating TWICE or anything
Even if it's someone more famous than TWICE, their dating news shouldn't be on the front page either.

Boycott Japan is in full swing, will this male idol be okay? Won't the whole country be attacking him?
[+76 / -17]
Why is it that when Korea is looking at us like we're the enemy and boycotting our Japan-made products, we're writing these useless articles?
Let's do the same for them.
[+26 / -3]
What do you mean?
They acknowledged yesterdays couple to hide this couple? Can you call this hiding though?

She should give up on trying to date a Korean man.
[+144 / -5]
Yeah, Heechul likes Japanese culture but he's extremely patriotic. He has lots of Japanese friends and he speaks Japanese when he has concerts but those are two different things. That way of thinking might be common for young people in Korea.
