A now-deleted tweet with a video of Jake speaking about the upcoming tour garnered a lot of attention as the idol said, “It’s going to be the best tour, the best concert we’ve done.”
While the video was later deleted, the replies to Jake’s comments remained, with many calling out what he said as shady towards Heeseung.

No wonder he was unlikeable , being shady at a time like this it just means they always hated him deep down , never respected him and they sure were aware of the talent and popularity gap thank god heeseung doesn’t have to deal with this hypocrisy anymore https://t.co/ipFQX7lK1S

Saying “this is gonna be the best tour they’ve ever done” right after a member left… Idk it feels way too shady but GOD FORBID Heeseung says he’s working hard and will release his album soon then suddenly he’s the villain. Ohh Heeseung you deserve so much better. https://t.co/rFRJs3Aoxv pic.twitter.com/rPzQBv3NAJ

Yet, amid the discourse, many fans defended the idol, believing that fans were taking Jake’s comments and twisting them to fit a certain narrative.
the way yall twisted it into betrayal like ??? are you even listening or just waiting for something to be mad about?
jake saying it’s their best tour ≠ dragging anyone. literally he says that ‘every single comeback’, ‘every single tour’ because that’s literally the point???… pic.twitter.com/ggFF8N6fvM

if yall actually knew jake and watched his lives before u wouldn’t talk about him likes this, im asking u to leave him tf alone and stop being shady to him bc his words don’t align with your own narratives, that goes for the other 6 too,u always have smth negative to say abt them
