The replies flooded her post.

"Oh my God!"

"Is this a confirmation that V and Jennie really had an affair? Poor Jieun!"

"Holy shit."

"It's official. Jennie is a shameless slut."

"Jennie has been a shameless slut since before. I'm not really surprised."

"Calling all my fellow fans to protect our V from all the shameless sluts in the world, especially from that dirty Jennie Kim."

"Jieun is such a real lady. So classy, so forgiving. If I was her and someone tried to snatch my man, I'll scratch the whore's face off and throw her to the ocean for the sharks to feed on."

"That slut doesn't deserve Jieun's forgiveness!"

"Jieun is so magnanimous! As expected of the heiress of the Lee family."

"Jieun Please marry me instead!"

"Poster above, go away! Know your place! How dare a peasant like you propose to Princess Jieun?! She already belongs to our Prince V!"

"We heart V & Jieun forever!"

"So is Jieun confirming that V made Jennie pregnant?"

"No way! I won't accept that evil witch's bastard child, even if it's true. Only Princess Jieun has the right to bear Prince V's heir."

"Jieun didn't say anything about the pregnancy, but based on what she said, that Jennie slut definitely tried to seduce V."

"Despicable! Die @ Jennie!"

"V Please say something!"

Everyone kept an eye on V's account, waiting to see if he was going to respond to the rumours like his fiancée.

Moments later, V finally posted on his account.

V: "I want to clarify the truth. Miss Jennie and I have no relationship whatsoever to each other. We just casually met at a few events but that was it. She didn't seduce me, nor I her. I have never made her pregnant. We never had that kind of relationship. All of these rumours are just that, plain rumours. Please don't make up stories. I ask my fans to continue supporting me without pulling others down. Thank you for your understanding. On another note, I will be releasing my next album soon. Please look forward to it!"

His power was on another level. As soon as he posted, the responses of his hawk-eyed fans were so quick that not even a second passed after his post before the likes and replies bombarded his account.

"We understand, Prince V! We members of your army will definitely continue supporting you! Can't wait for your next album!"

"Oh my god. A new album?! I'm so excited!"

"Anyone else finding this suspicious? Jieun already denounced Jennie as the 'other woman'. Why is V suddenly denying everything and even defending Jennie? Hmmm...."

"You're right. I think Jennie has impacted their relationship more than we expected. Is there trouble brewing between the engaged couple?"

"Oh no! We fans would destroy anyone who dares drive a wedge between our prince and princess!"

"Mobilize our army! Mission: total annihilation of Jennie Kim!"

"I think it's just V acting as a gentleman and giving face to the Kims. Jennie is a daughter of the Kim family after all. The Kims may not be as powerful or as wealthy as the Manobans, but they are still comparable to the Lees. They are people who are not to be easily offended. Actually, the Kims are slightly wealthier and has a nobler history than the Lees. Some of their ancestors were aristocrats from ancient times. But of course, that doesn't matter in this age anymore."

"Poster above, what you say makes sense."

"Jennie is the shame of the Kim family. The Kims should just disown her."

"Yeah! Disown that shameless slut!"

"Who cares about that slut?! All I care about is saving money to buy my idol's upcoming album! Oh my God! I'm so excited!"

This discussion online exploded to the point that the newspapers and tabloids were ready to publish the story, but they found themselves unable to do so.

It appeared that someone powerful was blocking them from the shadows.
