I remember Leeseo saying she doesn’t have any friends and being so confused because it seemed like all the kids were excited to see her. Turns out this is the truth…. It makes me so sad Leeseo deserves so much better. https://t.co/g92fSjl3n5

The idol was shown in the video appearing to fall asleep in her leisure time between lessons before being startled by a few of her classmates, who then got her to autograph their notebooks.
As viewers evaluated the content, several theories about Leeseo being the victim of peer harassment and bullying emerged. Fans reacted with outrage, claiming that the idol’s well-known generosity and kindness were being abused.
Fans used social media, especially X, to spread information about the situation they felt was unfair and damaging and to ask Starship Entertainment, the company that represents the idol, to step in. The online community encouraged the agency to act to protect its talent and solve the issues raised by the allegations of Leeseo’s exploitation.
As a result, the phrase “Starship Protect Leeseo” has been trending on X for a while, with many people getting impatient about what is happening with Leeseo in the future. So, here’s how this trend unfolds:
Netizens trended Starship Protect Leeseo on X.
Since November 2022, IVE’s Leeseo has been attending Hanlim Multi Arts School to continue her education like many other students of her age. However, recent revelations have shed light on the challenges faced by these idols within the school environment.
Although originally ignorant of the dynamics within the school, fans recently got a look into how individuals who have already made their debut in the business are treated thanks to a fellow classmate’s recent post on an internet community website. The post featured a video of Leeseo diligently signing her autograph on numerous pages of a notebook.
After seeing the video, fans voiced concern that Leeseo’s natural compassion might be exploited. Fans say she is driven to meet the demands—masquerading as requests—of her classmates rather than being allowed to calmly concentrate on her study.
Leeseo appears to be under pressure to comply with these requests out of fear of false rumors and offensive remarks, which might be the start of a trend of discomfort for the idol during her time in school.
In response to these concerns, fans are rallying together and directing their appeals to Starship Entertainment, the agency representing Leeseo. Many fans asked the agency to take aggressive steps toward monitoring and addressing the issues Leeseo encounters in the school setting.
