They see nothing wrong with his message.
In the midst of the recent MOVES dispute over internal documents, Joshua from SEVENTEEN is receiving negative responses for his Weverse messages.
On October 30, he posted a photo online with messages to fans.
Good morning CARATI. Do you guys take care of your health? Be careful not to catch a cold CARATI. You can’t be sick. I really miss you. I’ve been doing morning runs and it helps me clear everything out. Try running if you have a lot of thoughts. Or try taking a walk while looking at the scenery.

Always look at beautiful things and always be happy, ok CARATI? Now I’m going to my program, CARAT!

However, netizens who saw the full post defended Joshua and couldn’t understand why people criticized him for communicating with fans.
- “So what should he do now?”
- “I went in wondering what it was and now I’m just tired of it.”
- “Things are getting out of hand…why is everyone like this?”
- “So he has to keep his mouth shut even to his fans?”
- “What’s the problem anyway?”
- “People are getting crazier and crazier. Do you really think this isn’t too much?”
- “Why are people suddenly targeting SEVENTEEN?”
- “Because of Hoshi.”
- “What did he do, did he publish something? Let me know and I’ll look into it.”
- “Check out his Instagram story.”
- “Is it because he talked about another idol?”
- “Yes, because he is one of the victims talked about in internal reports.”
- “It’s usually like that.”
- “Enough is enough. It’s not like SEVENTEEN wrote the internal documents.”
- “HYBE is the one at fault here… I don’t understand how an idol interacting with fans is a problem.”
- “Seriously, it’s HYBE’s fault…”
- “The contents are nothing abnormal.”
- “Yeah, it’s no big deal.”
- “I was a fan, and he usually comes from time to time and says things like that.”
- “Overall I don’t think it was the best time.”
