I got pulled into a thread about this back in the day and ended up watching a stack of interview clips and performances, so here’s how I’d explain it from a fan’s-eye view.

During the 2018 'Love Yourself'/'Fake Love' promotions the leader absorbed a lot of heat because he was the most visible spokesperson in interviews and speeches. When someone is expected to represent seven people, every offhand remark or awkward pause gets magnified. Add to that translation glitches—nuance lost between Korean and English—and some things read harsher online than they sounded on camera. There were also moments when the leader’s blunt or cerebral way of explaining music came off as cold to viewers who’d been primed for emotional vulnerability, and that clash pushed some criticism his way.

On top of media nitpicking, anti-fan activity and the usual internet pile-ons made small slips feel enormous. Looking back, a lot of it was less about one big scandal and more about the impossible standard placed on one face of a group during a very intense global promo cycle. If you watch full interviews now, you can see the context and the pressure a lot clearer — and it softens how you hear those moments.

I was scrolling fan forums and news blurbs back then and kept thinking about how leadership in pop groups is both symbolic and sacrificial. The leader got criticized during 2018 promotions largely because of three interacting forces: editorial framing, language/cultural friction, and fandom politics. Editors and broadcasters love tidy clips; they edit for drama and often the most neutral line becomes a headline-ready quote. That’s the first distortion.

Second, the leader’s role required him to articulate artistic themes in interviews with foreign press, so translation gaps and different rhetorical styles made him vulnerable to misreadings. Western interview norms reward casual warmth, while some Korean public-speaking tendencies can come across as formal or reserved in translation. Third, fandom dynamics and anti-fandom activity amplify any perceived misstep — line distributions, stage interactions, or even defensive remarks can be weaponized. Combine hot promotion schedules, fatigue, and the pressure to be everyone’s moral compass, and you get a situation where criticism rains down fast. I try to look at structural pressures rather than single quotes; it’s more useful and less exhausting.

I was chatting with friends about this era not long ago and we all agreed: a lot of the criticism in 2018 was about optics more than substance. The leader was the visible mouthpiece during big international promos, so small things—awkward phrasing, a serious expression, or a clipped interview moment—were amplified. People online also have a habit of reading the worst intent into neutral moments.

From my perspective, fatigue and translation hiccups played big roles too. When you’re jet-lagged and doing back-to-back events, your tone changes and cameras seize on that. For anyone digging into it now, watching raw interviews and full-stage clips helps you feel how pressured everything was and makes the critiques seem a lot less straightforward.

Sometimes I feel like social media turned tiny things into controversies, and that’s exactly what happened in 2018. I followed the promotions closely and noticed a few overlapping reasons people criticized the leader: he was the main speaker in foreign press, he’s thoughtful in a way that doesn’t always translate to soundbites, and online communities were already split into hot takes. A short hesitation or a clipped sentence became fodder for pages of commentary.

Also, the entertainment machine was running at full tilt — interviews, live shows, award stage duties — and exhaustion shows differently in different people. For him, it occasionally showed as guardedness or dryness, which some viewers read as arrogance or indifference. I always try to remind myself to find full clips or translations before joining any pile-on; context matters and public figures on a global scale deal with a mix of cultural expectations that are hard to satisfy all at once.
