Dumbass anti-reporters get owned and caught lying:
An example of why you shouldn't trust a lot of Korean reporters [sic]
This particular example that I'm about to talk about is about YG, but it's a widespread problem that a lot of companies face. For a little back story, YG has 3 particularly famous anti-reporters, and they are Newsen, Sports Seoul, and Dispatch. They've been writing malicious articles about YG for years, though Dispatch is a new one since they only formed this year but they formed from staff members of Sports Seoul so they are technically one and the same. A lot of the time their articles will try to find the negative side of even good news about anything YG related and very often the news they put out about YG is untrue as well. They'll also word things in a way to attract antis.
Anyway, yesterday Taeyang and Seungri went to the airport to depart for Singapore for a concert. At the airport they coincidentally met Lee Hye Young who had recently gotten engaged. Dispatch put up an article with pictures of the meeting, but oddly Seungri's face was blurred out of the pictures as seen HERE.

Then a Dispatch reporter and a photographer wrote a rant on twitter about something.
Translation:
zmsdodch: Taeyang's fan service was great. As soon as he got out of the van he waved towards the fans and smiled. When he saw Lee Hye Young who recently got engaged, he bowed to greet her. For a second there I thought Taeyang came alone.
zmsdodch: I decided to respect Seungri's opinion. Seungri who said to only take pictures of Lee Hye Young. So our decision was to blur him out. We did exactly as he said, as he wanted.
VVrVVr7l: Seungri who we met at Incheon Airport said!! "If you came to take pictures of Lee Hye Young, go over there and take pictures of Lee Hye Young instead!!" WTF. Since when did Seungri become a news editor!! He's telling a photographer to do this and that!!- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Going off just these very snarky tweets, Seungri seems like a real asshole. But that was intentional on the reporter + photographer's parts. Seungri was being shred to pieces on the internet by netizens as a result of this, and he probably would have been doomed to an image of being an asshole.
Fortunately, the truth was revealed when Ystar aired video footage of the meeting in Star News where the atmosphere was completely different from what the reporters on Twitter described. (Subbed video above.)
Everyone was happy and in a joking mood and Taeyang even says the line that the reporters on Twitter talked about, but in a completely different sense and in a joking manner. These anti-reporters twisted their words to sound negative even though they said it in a way to not take away any of the spotlight from Lee Hye Young's special occassion. And it was revealed to netizens that the reporter and photographer are psychos.
