This person is not a famous idol, but he still has a handful of fans supporting him despite what he’s done which I found selfish, and so I have decided to speak up on behalf of my friend.”

A revealed that her friend has been dating Kpop idol Y for about three months. Kpop idol Y was said to assault A’s friend and choked her until she lost consciousness. A also provided some images as evidence that her friend (B) dated Kpop idol Y.
In a series of text messages between B and Y, the alleged assailant admits he committed such actions.

He's good lookin <3 🙂
That's not enough to be a gentleman.
First mistake: dating (he is still a rookie!)
Second mistake: violence!
He looked calm and shy during his i-land time.
