Neverlands, (G)I-DLE's fandom, also left statements on Netizen Buzz's Twitter post to warn it about the YouTube channel's scheme.
Other K-pop news outlets have also reported that fans commended Soyeon for defending Shuhua during their appearance.
Among the fans' comments are:
"Oh my god, the amount of nevies believing this immediately without questioning the profile who tweeted this. I thought it's a netiquette that don't immediately believe everything u see on the net."
"What's a source other than the inflammatory channel that is Drama Channel, whose whole shtick is, you guessed it, creating drama and instigating negative reactions from the fandoms of everyone being mentioned? Nothing of the sort was mentioned in the episode. Fake news."
The picture shown was the part where they talked about Nxde and how CUBE was against the song bc they thought it's sexy. But Soyeon explained that she didn't think about the word nxde as sexy bc in the first place we were all born nvde- means wearing your true self after that https://t.co/bVRmUdbC45

Clout chaser. This is not even real. And the number of nevies believing this without any proof is disappointing. Tsk

What the YouTube Channel Claimed
Days after (G)I-DLE's episode was aired, the YouTube channel shared screenshots of Soyeon as she explained the origin of their track, "Nxde."
She began by saying that she watched "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" and "Moulin Rouge" several times before she was able to finalize the girl group's concept.
The same video alleged that the cast members and (G)I-DLE members started talking about sleeping nude after it was mentioned that Marilyn Monroe revealed to a reporter that she slept with anything but Chanel No. 5.
Lee Sang Min's alleged comment to Shuhua was: "Looking at her expression, she really sleeps nude." Drama Gallery then said that Soyeon called out Lee Sang Min over his comments.
With the said clarification, (G)I-DLE's fans asked their fandom's co-members to stop spreading the fake news and support the girl group instead.
