This is ridiculous!! He has the right as every human in the world to have a girlfriend.

Let Joshua live, date anyone he wants, every idol should be free to fall in love, no one should care, they have the right to a personal life and happiness. The ownership that korean fans think they have over him is abhorrent. For fans that truly appreciate and love Joshua, it is only important that he is happy.

This is why companies need to stop encouraging idols to do fan service and play a bf/gf role to fans. Dating bans also shouldn't be a thing. It's just a double-edged sword. Yes, they make a lot of money and maintain their fandom, but some fans start to feel entitled to an idol's personal life. At the end of the day, being an idol is their job. Once they're off the clock, you should not be concerned with what they are doing. These fans attacking idols for doing thing as harmless as dating really need to get a life and put the energy they have for canceling an idol for dating towards idols who are racist, fatphobic, homophobic, misogynistic, and so on.

Guys, Joshua is 27 meaning he is in the right season for dating and there’s nothing wrong with that. Everybody wants to find love and meet the right one so who are we to deny him of that? We as fans should support him and his gf

Man. How can you call yourself a “fan” if you go to all these extremes over a rumor? True or untrue, it’s a rumor. And, shouldn’t you want your idol happy? Ridiculous.

Just to clarify I'm a huge carat and obsessed with svt for 3 years and Joshua is my bias and always has been since day 1...Seeing people go this far telling him to leave the group and more breaks my heart into million pieces like what happened to the carats that would celebrate when one of svt members gets into a dating scandal?What happened to our peaceful fandom?This is honestly brutal and I'm actually looking forward for him to date since that guy is the definition of GENTLEMAN so if someone like him doesn't date then I guarantee that most of the world's boys would be single for a lifetime..What would those people feel if someone had the control over their private lives and relationships would they not date if some delusional fans told them and threatened them not to?Bro is 28 let him live and if that is what makes him happy then let it be.

Joshua is the most genuine idol. He doesn't deserve this. Btw all the delusional haters thinking they can make him leave the group don't know the strength of CARATS

Joshua is one of my biases in SVT and the member that made me stan the group and seeing all of these "fans" really breaks my heart! how delusional and obsessive you should be to do all of those things to someone who was allegedly your bias and still think you are in the right... hope pledis and hybe do something to protect shua and put all of these crazy stalkers in their place

THIS 👏🏽. NEEDS 👏🏽. TO 👏🏽. STOP 👏🏽. KPOP stars are people to with needs and are entitled to love like everyone else. They don’t need to tell you, they don’t need to communicate with you daily, they don’t need to “tone down” their relationship to appease you, who will NEVER have a chance with anyone of these idols. I swear this only exists in KPOP. No other entertainer in any industry gets harassed or cancelled simply by obtaining a partner.

Josh brought his girlfriend a porche?? That's so fricking sweet. Like I'm sorry but idgaf if he has no fans, I will support him and be proud of him because whilst I've not been a carat for too long, I've seen what Joshua is like as a person and joe he grew from debut so I will support him to the end

If I was his fan, I would be so happy knowing that he was in a stable relationship for 3 years He is handsome, successful and believes in a committed relationship

I'll never understand how dating becomes a scandal. As if they aren't people who fall in love, cry, get mad, or get excited. Let them live. We became fans because of the music, and that should be it.

im sorry but how delusional do you have to be to think that shua will date you 😭😭. this is just plain embarrasing atp. some people are so petty my god 💀

Some fans cannot accept that these idols are actual people with real emotions and they have their own choice on who they date

This is really sad how people react when their idols start dating. They should understand that they have their own personal life too! The people who are calling themselves his fans and are also hating him don't deserve to be carats. Joshua is my bias too and I will always support him and the rest of seventeen no matter what!

I hope Joshua and Cho Miyoung are both doing alright. Whether the rumors are true or false, this must be taking a toll on their mental health :( Why do some people have to be so delusional?

Hahahahha leave the group? Ya’ll are sick 😂

I feel so bad for grown-ass idols like Joshua. Damn, he's twenty-seven yet still controlled by obsessed fans. These kids should wake up.

I can ignore some ridiculous fans and give Seventeen my full support, but at this point I'm afraid Joshua won't renew his contract. As fans we have to know our place, he is your idol not your lover. I hope some people who say they are fans but want Joshua to leave the group can grow up soon and find their lover in the real world instead of hallucinating that their idol is their lover and controlling the idol's personal life. But I believe true Carat will still support Joshua, even as Carat we have been waiting for dating news from the Seventeen members for a long time. Because Carat wants Seventeen to be happy 💙💙

Support joshua!!! Why can't Idols be in a relationship they are also human and they deserve to be in a relationship if we can!!! Stop boycotting him !! And sending trucks and porches to pledis ENT !!

Nah this is sick. Why cant people let idols live their lives. Just mind your own buisness.

This is the extreme level of toxicity. This really needs to stop. He was just moving towards his happiness and those so called brainless toxic fans have made his life hell. to those stupid saesangs, I really hope karma strikes you back and just feel the same pain that poor person is going through

We love you Joshua…Haters need to back off him and leave him alone. Don’t take someone else’s happiness just because you aren’t happy. Shua, we want you to be happy. I love your smile. Smile like the diamond you are. Please don’t let the haters dim your sunshine or smile. The true carats will support you no matter what. ❤️Love you Shua❤️Support Seventeen and Joshua #shua # happiness #smilelikeadiamond.

This is so sad, this needs to stop for real. I hope he's okay. STAY STRONG JOSHUA, we'll love you no matter what, don't get discouraged ❤️❤️

Not me wishing I could be in front of Hybe with a chair and popcorn so that I could be entertained by a bunch of Delulus with shaven eyebrows crying their hearts out while driving Porsches. But in all seriousness, if the rumours are true, I wish all the best to the couple.

What the hell....are they sick or something?😂😂 He is 27 years old, how can you expect him to be not dating. It's his life whatever he wants to do...he is an idol doesn't means we own his life..HATERS GET SOMETHING ELSE TO DO AND STOP HATING ON HIM❤❤

What's even more upsetting is that even is Joshua had told us that he had a girlfriend these so called fans would have done the same thing if not worse. No matter what he does people will still get mad at him, and that makes me so mad because I can't do anything to help. All I can do is watch and hope that it gets better.............................................................................................................. They better not get him kicked out of the group or I'm going to Korea and China to beat some carrot ass!!!!!!!!!😡😡🤬🤬😡🤬😠😠 O and to any carrot who reads this please understand and support your bias no matter what he does, and that goes for every fandom and every kpop stan, they're people too and they deserve the world.

I feel so bad for idols because they aren’t allowed to date publicly because k netizens get upset. Poor Joshua. I hate the whole look available but be unattainable

Carats were such a peaceful fandom till last year, and even for the start of this year...but as the caratland grows bigger it's getting more toxic :( I'm happy that seventeen are growing bigger each passing day but this amount of toxicity is so disturbing, especially in caratland. I hope these so called delusional "carats" realise their worth and stop this shit.

Joshua has been my bias since a long time and seeing him go through all this hurts me, whether its Joshua or any other idol, they shouldnt go through all this just to have a life with someone else other then with their members and fans :C, leave these people alone, I hope everything will be alr for him, Good luck

It's so sad what's happening to Joshua.. Fans of Kpop boy groups are on another level of delusional. I feel really bad for him.

I feel so bad for idols, they can't be happy without crazy "fans" acting like they own them. I'm not a Seventeen fan but I stand by the real fans that support and encourage the boys to live their lives the way they want to ❤ Someone should give these so called fans a taste of their own medicine

Bro I hate those fake carats

This is so insane, they don't want him to be happy? If he is happy we are happy too, bcs real fans want this! Stop being delusional, they are not boyfriends they are artists. Please leave him alone and let him live happy life he wants to live. Love Joshua and hope these all crazy thing stops as soon as possible.

Joshua is my bias in Seventeen and I would be so so happy for him if he is dating someone. He deserve nothing but the best. He is such a nice man and whoever his future partner will be, they will be very lucky. This "hate" has to stop. I am so sorry he has to go through this and for other idols too. They are humans too, they deserve love and affection. I don't really understand why people are getting so mad about idols dating. It is their private life, they can date whoever they want. It is hard to believe that some "so called fans" are so delusional. It is so hard to me to believe.

This is crazy! News flash: They are all dating. All the idols need to speak up about their significant others at once. They can’t boycott them all, right? The agencies need to get rid of dating limitations and speak up as well. Idols and agencies trying so hard to be discrete is only feeding into the fans delusions. The agencies may find it beneficial (eventually). In the US, people can’t get enough of celebrities dating. Sometimes makes celebrities even more popular.

Sorry, but shaving your eyebrows is beyond extreme and bordering deranged. And spending 'the fans money' on his girlfriend? What's with these people. And if Hoshi is dating Soo hyuk then I'm ecstatic for both of them. They are both gorgeous .

If these dating rumors of joshua is true im sure he would probably confirm it by now. Or in another case hes not saying anything because he wants to keep his private life of course private. Im wondering why joshua hasn't commented about the rumors yet.

Joshua is probably the most of all members to appreciate his fans love and support he must be so devastated and disappointed of how quick they turned their backs on him. My boy deserves nothing but all the happiness in the world. I hope he isn't affected by those delulu fans and comes out stronger as ever.

it's insane. he is a performer, the public is supposed to enjoy his performance, not devour his entire life and soul

As what my teacher said in class today, "If the truth isn't grounded then it's bound to face error". How can you find a simple rumor to be grounded if there's no proof, huh? How can you prove something if you have no evidence? Get the picture, people! Use your critical thinking, it ain't that hard 😀😀 Are these people just that delusional and mentally sick that they'd rather be impulsive by destroying one's image instead of being rational like a human being!

I hate hearing people say that he cant date and that hr should leave Seventeen. SEVENTEEN IS A GREAT GROUP. He is an adult. Also, as far as I can tell this girl is a fan. Prob searches his pocs and clothes, and buys them since it makes us feel closer to the idols. Leave him and Seventeen alone

this is one of the most sweetest SVT members he made bracelets for his "fans" too , and same people are betraying him. do you want your idols to d*e alone without any loved one? what is wrong with this "netzins" what kind of support is this where you cant be happy for someone ?

And just like that, carats self-proclaimed non toxic label is gone 😂 Turns out carats are messy af lmao

I dont care if joshua is dating or not but if he is happy then REAL carats are happy

He is 27 omg, he is grown! It will be ok 😅 Korean fans have too much say so in the idols lives!!!!

Yes, this is beyond disturbing! Honestly, like WTF, I think all of these people forgot that, even how happy makes them and fun it is, being an Idol is their job, they cannot or should not make all their lives about their job. If this is true, cause there's no confirmation yet, I'll be so happy for him and if he really has been dating the person he likes for 3 years I'll be overjoyed. He as anybody else deserves to be happy.

Tbh I always used to worry about my idols dating because I did not want them to deal with break up but then I realised they are older than me and definitely mature enough to deal with breakups and sad stuff so I stopped caring about them personally. Because like 1 carat had said its not like they are going to marry one of us. So let them be. Let idols live their life and let them deal with their own problems.

POOR JOSHUA I HAVE TO SAY THAT PEOPLE LIKE THESE SHOULD NEVER BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY AND ALSO NOT NOTICED I MEAN LIKE HOW CAN SOMEONE BE SO ANGRY JUST BECAUSE THEIR "FAVOURITE" MEMBER IS DATING SOMEONE UGH SERIOUSLY THESE PEOPLE.

I didn't expect that there is this number of toxic carats... It's sad that dating is still considered a "scandal" in the idol industry...

Im happy....I want every member to be in a relationship....n be happier....jst imagine the hardship they have had in their life.. they've worked so hard n still working....so they deserved happiness.... True Carats will always support Seventeen...no matter what....And btw we r their fans...n they r celebrities.....its not like we are ever gonna end up with them...jst becoz we like them lol....

Good for Joshua, if the dating rumors are true! I hope he and his girlfriend are very happy together. Everyone deserves love. ❤

Jesus these people are delusional. That's such a scary amount of stalking. Imagine wanting your favorite idols to have no one and just be alone forever.

This is all just unnecessary drama… His Agency should just confirm/deny the rumours. This is just dumb, and i am sure this affects his mental health too.. People send so many trucks and it’s just getting out of hand.

I wish i was damn rich enough to send as much trucks as i support him saying how much i admire his hard work in seventeen whether he was dating or not, he doesnt deserve these antis, i wish he could see how much international carats are supporting him right now..

you know, i always thought of seventeen as a group with a loving and understanding fandom. but boycotting him till he leaves the group? That’s just messed up

I think atp they should deny it even if its true not saying anything is making the situation worse i really support joshua and fans are being so fucking delusional 😢

Honestly shame on these so called fans Carats have changed Joshua pls be strong and we love you and support you no matter what...

Wtf*** is happened to these anti's ? Please dont tell you are fan if you dont like . Just leave the fandom and please leave our josh alone, he dont deserve all these hate . He is the the sweet and caring man who never fails to make seventeen and carats laugh. I really hope he knows how precious he is to us! We the carat will support everything as long as that makes him happy...

There is clearly a cultural difference. International fans are super confused by this stupid "scandal". I've been waiting for Pledis or Hybe to release this simple statement: "Hybe allows our artists to date. We do not have contracts that prevent dating." From the comments I've seen, many Korean, Japanese, and Chinese "fans" believe Kpop idols have agreed to "no dating" clauses in their contracts. I would like to know what the written and unwritten rules on kpop idol dating really are. Meanwhile, I completely support SEVENTEEN and JOSHUA and wish them much success in the future. I hope these delusional women get a real life!

This is so mean to Joshua and to his rumoured girlfriend do they not understand that it's their own life and he is at the perfect age for him to start to getting to know people plus when is he going to start dating when he is 41 and have kids at 47 or something because that's what the "fans" want I guess

nahhh shaving ur eyebrows for someone dating?!! even tho u shave ur eyebrows doesn’t mean Joshua will pull out a ukulele sis lol😭😂

HOW CAN PEOPLE HATE ON THIS PRECIOUS SOUL????

I do think this goes back to the way companies promote idols as “boyfriends” or “girlfriends” to their fans. It’s not just about their music, it’s them as a person and the fantasy they sell. While there is a lot of purchasing power in building these fantasies, it also leads to lots of fans putting an intense pressure and meaning on these para social relationships.

Kpop companies shouldn’t let so called fans dictate them Look at what happened to Lucas it only give confidence to this crazy people to do this kind of things

He is my bias ( along with jeonghan) since the beginning. And i am so happy for him. Please Leave him alone. He is a true gentleman and a sweetheart he deserves every happiness in this world. Please don't hurt him, it will affect his mental health please🙏🙏.

I'm just so sorry for everyone in the industry and especially him rn

At times like this i wish i had a protest trucks company. I would be a damn richy rich at this point already

Joshua dating is nobody business cuz their is something called privacy Please Joshua don't leave the group

Netizens and fans: population number and childbirth in our country on the decline, please do something to save the future of our country, our people, and our economy!!! Also netizens and fans: idols shouldn't date, marry, nor having kids!!!

When i first got to know of this, i was really happy like wow finally its about time they have rumors (woozi said this in game caterers lol) but after a few days it got worse i saw a lot of hate comments in shua’s IG posts but im glad people keep supporting him in twitter plus we still dont know if its true or not seriously it wasnt him who made it obv you wouldn’t have known it unless you *STALKED* that woman and last but not least to those who have been sending hate comments bffr bro is approaching 30 already let him date

OMG THAT'S SO SICK. LET KPOP IDOLS HAVE THEIR OWN LIVES!!!!! Sending love and support to Joshua. It's a tough time for him now, hope he's doing fine and well and non harer Carats would send love and support 🥺🥺😭😭🫶🫶

And here I was, hoping my favs would release dating news one day. Fans do anything to defend their idol and to ensure their happiness until they find happiness in the arms of someone else 😔

It’s just sad how much hate idols and their partners get!!! Just leave them alone!!! Let idols enjoy their personal life and just show support. Idols can date whoever they want!! Joshua is grown man and he make decisions with his life!

This is insane!! Those delusional and entitled “fans” need to touch some grass. Idols are REAL people, not robots nor AI. They deserve a life outside their work. Like I’m flabbergasted. I’m not even familiar with Seventeen at all, and it hurts me that this young man is getting hate for something so mundane as having a girlfriend (allegedly). He shouldn’t be punished by the masses for falling in love, if that’s the case. No idol should. As fans, don’t we want our favs to be happy?

SO WHAT ?! HE IS AN ADULT AND HE IS A HUMAN LIKE US AND HE CAN HAVE FEELINGS TF IS WRONG WITH THESE KNETIZENS (BRO IS 27 LITERALLY A ADULT !!!!!!

Oh god this is so bad. I can't imagine how he must be feeling right now

The sheer audacity of these people.. he's a grown man who can date if he wants to, none of those "fans" owns him and he doesnt owe them staying single so they can continue living in la la land

You are entitled to date ,Fall in Love. That is a given right of any human being . What makes the fans think , that only they can have that human emotion. If these are just rumors ,as mentioned previously , Then it’s about time that , these poor excuses for human beings ,are found and dealt with. Grow Up ! 💜🦋

We love you shua ❤ haters are just so lonely and done with their lives that they hate on an adult man who's apparently dating someone. My bias doesnt deserve this, do ya'll even realise how his glowing smile has been so small and dull recently, y'all really want to ruin peoples lives. I hope shua and this Miyeon girl (idk who she is) are okay 😢

Tbh I don’t even Stan seventeen but boycotting a man that’s nearly 30 just because he might be dating someone is insane. Some delusional fans be forgetting that these idols are not there friend nor do they know them. So it gives them no right to say what’s wrong and right in their dating life.

Even if this was true, I won't be angry nor mad about Joshua dating anyone, it's just heartbreaking for me because he made my standards so high and I love him so much.

Good video. I didn’t really care for how you presented news about Joshua and this situation in a few of your earlier videos, because I felt like there wasn’t enough information out there yet and presenting on a subject too early can spread inaccurate information fast, so I appreciate the greater overview of the situation in this video as well as the research clearly put into it. Looking forward to updates. Thank you.

Worldwide Carats let's protect our angels support them love them unconditionally keep fighting

Bro- Kcarats need to chill 😭😭 leave Joshua alone like it’s just a rumour no need to go over the top. Like stop being dulu and let him date whoever he wants to date, it’s his life he’s an adult he can date whoever he likes.

Leave the group? Lol How about leave him alone or just leave the fandom? They've reached this far to be concerned about some "fans" petty "tantrums".

7:03 protest porches 😭😭😭 wtfffffffff this IS SO EMBARRASSING what is wrong w ppl like holy shit.

I am so happy for them

if they are dating i’m so happy for him if not then oh well these so called “fans” telling him to leave is absolutely disgusting and i will continue to support seventeen even more

And here I thought there was peace in Caratland, smh

Bruhh he cant stay single till hes 80 , I hope Joshua and that girl are okay. They don’t deserve this hate

He doesn't have to or will never leave the group unless he wants to...People can leave the fandom,put their mobiles and asses on fire He wants to date, he will He deserves the world,to any toxic stan here,why dont u go and study or work They're successful already,the question now is Will you be?

WE MUST PROTECT SHUA!! Like these so called fans are more interested in his life than their's 💀it aint none of our business if Joshua or any member from Svt dates!! Most of the members are in their late 20's!! Ppl be acting as if they own svt :/ #ProctectJoshua

this is going out of hand now. y’all have no control over him. imagine if you’re dating someone and everyone in your life is against it and doesn’t what you to be w someone you love, so dumb.

wow i have no words i feel rlly sorry for him😭😭

Wow. Im baffled. I didn’t know it was this bad. Seriously these folks are sick.

The question is, why PLEDIS is not doing nothing??

This is so disturbing, I rlly hope this ends soon. I think it's high time that Hybe or maybe even the alleged 'girlfriend's' agency makes a statement and clarifies this. Also, these fans need therapy before they end up doing something worth being sent to jail for. Let's free Carats of these toxic 'fans' and let us maintain our status as the healthiest fandom plz :) Neither Seventeen nor do us Carats require such maniacs in our life.

True fans will always support him no matter what...uh don't understand you should love him for being himself not what you want him to be..I will always support him no matter what❤

NO ONE IS LEAVING. OT13 FOREVER
