Following the marriage announcement, renewed attention has focused on the production process of 'Nuru'*, Jang’s directorial debut for a feature film. This interest stems from the fact that the film. starring Kim, conducted a crowdfunding campaign prior to its release, featuring rewards that appeared to target Jang’s fan base. The campaign offered various benefits based on the contribution amount; notably, those who pledged 100,000 won (~72 USD) or more reportedly received perks such as an invitation to a 'Nuruk' GV and an opportunity to attend an autograph session with Jang.

Conversely, others argue that since it was a standard crowdfunding campaign for film production, the project should be viewed independently of the couple's personal relationship.

1. He's too much, seriously...

2. He should've never received any funding...

3. This is such a Hannam behaviour... You hardly ever see female celebrities acting like that; it's always the male ones. I absolutely loathe those cheap, pathetic losers

4. Whether he did well or not, this is so annoyingㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. But his girlfriend's acting is super bad

6. I didn't think he was like this, but he's such a loser

7. He probably thought that it was a smart move to do

8. This is legendaryㅎㅎ....

9. But it hasn't been revealed yet when they actually started dating. Since the controversy has arisen, Jang Dongyoon's side will likely issue a statement; I think it wouldn't be too late to discuss it after hearing what they have to say

10. I used to find him likable but this is such a turn off....
