Taeyeon’s Fans Are Gearing Up To Sue Malicious Commenters On Her Behalf

They are not taking this lightly.

The internet was in an uproar yesterday when news broke out that Girls’ Generation‘s Taeyeon and VIXX‘s Ravi had been dating for a year. While the news has since been proven false by both respective labels, it has been the talk of the town since. In the midst of the craziness, Taeyeon’s loyal fans have decided to step up and take matters into their own hands.

K-Pop dating news can be taken negatively so we are relieved to see Taeyeon being supported by fans and non-fans alike. We hope that both Taeyeon and Ravi will come out of this unscathed from malicious comments.
