A controversial post on the Korean forum PIG entitled “Objectively, J-Hope is ugly” has aroused intense online indignation, in particular between Fans BTS (Armys). Looking at almost 60,000 views, the post shared an alleged recent and unpublished photo of J-HopeInviting mockery rather than admiration.
The original poster (op) subtitled the image: “If you intend to defend it, at least bears an untreated photo.”
However, the reaction was rapid and extraordinarily negative, while random Armys and Netizen joined the attack. The comments section has become a battlefield of opinions, with users defending the appearance, talent and character of J-Hope.
CNG comments:
- “This is an unpublished screenshot from a normal camera. What is your point?”
- “They are always the ugly that become jealous and they call other ugly. Lol.”
- “I think he doesn’t photograph well. I saw him in real life, it’s madly as they look.”
- “To all BTS’s anti-fans, listen: can you better rap than rm? Are you more beautiful than Jin? Can you play basketball like Yoongi? Dance like Hoseok? Sing like Jimin? Be more cute than Taehyung? Excel to everything like Jungkook? But is it not possible that you cannot sing, who cannot sing, shart, I can’t sing, I can’t sing, I can’t sing, I can’t sing, I can’t sing Singing, Shart da Carent, I can’t sing, Shart, he cannot sing, Santa San, tank top and Jungkook has no talent. BTS? BTS They climbed on where they are now through incessant difficulties and efforts. When you say these things, it doesn’t just hurt BTS– The army is also bad. If you have time to hate BTSinstead use it to support your favorites. Please stop. Use your time for something better. Don’t waste it to hate BTS. “
The accident has again highlighted the persistent question of cyberbullying and the shame of the body towards public figures, in particular k-pop idols. While some fans swept away it as another case of senseless trolling, others underlined the importance of continuing to call this type of behavior and defend the artists.
