I'm sure sensationalism has something to do with it as well.
The KPop industry loves to (over)hype up news about themselves so I wouldn't be surprised if it goes both ways for both good news and bad news. It's a "any publicity is good publicity" mentality and it probably feeds a vicious cycle of fans eating up the hype and acting crazy and then media outlets reporting on that craziness.
If there was no hype, the KPop industry and fandoms probably wouldn't be that much different from JPop.
