The Truth behind BOBBY’s Waste Paper Incident, which is Going Viral on Social Media Networks

BOBBY’s waste paper incident is going viral on social media networks.
On December 10, an article titled “Famous Idol Getting Off from his Van to Help Old Lady Collect Waste Paper” was uploaded on the website of a news curation platform.

This is how it all began. On December 9, a Taiwanese online entertainment magazine announced that it has a beautiful story to tell about a Korean idol. According to the magazine, the idol was passing by and he saw an old lady collect waste paper, so he helped her. They said that idol is most probably BOBBY of iKON.

This story that is “most probably” about BOBBY got shared 19,000 times as of 4:10 PM of December 12. Considering the ripple effect of sharing, this has indeed become a big issue. On December 11, some media outlets wrote articles about this story mentioning that a picture showing BOBBY doing the good deed was uploaded on BOBBY’s fan website on December 9.

To confirm the story, we asked YG Entertainment, and they said that the picture was taken in September 2014 and that BOBBY and Masta Wu “recall” helping an old lady collect waste paper while walking along the street.

An YG staff member said, “Some media outlets have made inquiries about the picture, so we did some fact checking. BOBBY saw the picture and recalled that it was taken when he was doing the concert for ‘Show Me The Money’ and said that it was him and Masta Wu in the picture.”

His picture was taken when he didn’t even know it was going to be taken. Those who know him all say he is a good guy. What he has done two years ago to help someone has suddenly become a big issue, and this shows that his heart is in the right place.

There is a saying that goes people are everything. This reflects how important people are in everything that you do. BOBBY’s incident shows how good YANG HYUN SUK, YG’s CEO, is at choosing the right kind of people for his company.
