Jaejoong says he's against going public with dating

AKP STAFF

Jaejoong revealed he's against going public with dating.

On the September 1st episode of 'uhmg', JYJ's Jaejoong and Girls' Generation's Sooyoung talked about relationships and dating, and Jaejoong asked Sooyoung, "Haven't you been dating Jung Kyung Ho for a long time? Can we talk about this?"

After Sooyoung agreed, Jaejoong responded, "It's good to see. To be honest, it's difficult to date openly. I'm actor, but I'm most especially an idol. I can't do it. I can't be in a public relationship. Idols should hide it."

The Girls' Generation member then asked what he would do if his girlfriend wanted to date publicly, and Jaejoong joked, "I have a girlfriend right now," referring to his fans.

I guess if he wants t be private its his choice. But the stigma around dating has to be broken so that fans don't think they are entitled to control their idols lives. They don't own then and idols should live happily too.

It's his opinion if feels Idols should hide their relationships cause I know there are really crazy "fans" that really be on demon time. But I do think this ridiculous "controversy" or "dating scandal" should be crushed in the idol world. Idols can and should be able to openly date if they want without this counterattack to their career, mental health, and social media's.
