Both Korean and international fans are hurt over the relationship, but many fans have also shown support for the new couple.
However, many of Taeyeon and Baekhyun's fans have shown extreme anger over the relationship, saying that both idols never gave a hint to being in a relationship and instead seemed to show only love for their fans. Now a lot of people are saying that posts on SNS that seemed aimed at the fandoms were actually secret messages between the two idols, making these fans feel further betrayed.
