While BTS ARMY was celebrating Jin’s thirty second birthday, sudden political unrest in South Korea sparked discontent throughout Okay-pop fandoms.
On December 4, as Jin rang in his special occasion, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol unexpectedly imposed martial legislation within the nation.
Less than two hours after its implementation, MPs convened on the National Assembly to dam the president’s choice. Meanwhile, followers continued flooding social media with well-wishes and celebratory posts for Jin.
However, the festive temper was spoiled by BTS haters and rival Okay-pop fandoms.
Fans of different teams, together with BLACKPINK’s BLINKs, NewJeans’ Tokkis (or Bunnies), and Aespa’s MYs, contributed to a backlash towards Jin’s birthday posts, utilizing the unsure political state of affairs as an excuse to assault the BTS member.
Despite the net hostility, BTS ARMY rapidly defended their idol, with many calling out the critics, asking, “What is Jin’s fault?” as he had not even posted about his birthday.
“Imagine getting dragged since you have been born, and one thing unhealthy occurred on the identical day 32 years later. Y’all sick within the head turning all the things into fan wars,” wrote one fan.
“Why is it at all times Aespa stans, BP stans, and New Jeans stans performing psychotic and insensitive? Mind you, he’s a South Korean citizen residing in South Korea, not you,” one other remark learn.
Similar remarks could possibly be seen on social media in defence of the BTS member.
It is pertinent to notice that Jin didn’t share any birthday posts on his official Instagram, nor has he reposted any birthday needs.
