Fans appeared to be imposing a rivalry between Daniel Padilla and Alden Richards.
Ahead of the Hello, Love, Again release, KathNiel fans reportedly slammed the KathDen tandem, and a rivalry between Daniel Padilla and Alden Richards seemed to be imposed.

KathNiel is the tandem of Daniel with girlfriend Kathryn Bernardo. The KathDen tandem was created when the actress was paired with Alden in the previous box-office hit movie. Now, that the movie promotion for Hello, Love, Again is about to start, KathNiel fans expressed the #BackToKathNiel on Twitter.

Based on the report from PEP, the said hashtag became one of the trending topics on September 10. According to the report, KathNiel fans are thankful that Kathryn already surpassed the period when she was previously paired with Alden. It is because there is an issue about jealousy that surfaced, prompted by the closeness between the Hello, Love, Goodbye lead stars.

The issue even fired up when talks about the sequel of the previous movie circulated. Some moviegoers expressed that they want a continuation in the story of Joy and Ethan, Kath and Alden’s role in the original movie.

Because of this, some fans who are “maka-Daniel” are expressing words against the Kapuso Pambansang Bae. They also slammed the previous statement of Alden that Kathryn shared. She said that the actor wants to attend the ABS-CBN Ball 2024. “Walang ‘Joy’ na pupunta sa ball, wala ring ‘Ethan,’ kundi sina Kathryn và Daniel ang magkasamang darating,” some fans said, based on the article.

Meanwhile, according to GMA Artist Center, they haven’t received an invitation for the event and this was not included in the schedule of the Pambansang Bae.
