Jin’s thirty second birthday hit by political chaos and fan controversy
Whereas BTS ARMY was celebrating Jin’s thirty second birthday, sudden political unrest in South Korea sparked discontent throughout Ok-pop fandoms.
On December 4, as Jin tuned in his special occasion, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol unexpectedly imposed martial legislation within the nation.
Lower than two hours after its implementation, MPs convened on the Nationwide Meeting to dam the president’s resolution. In the meantime, followers continued flooding social media with well-wishes and celebratory posts for Jin.
Nevertheless, the festive temper was spoiled by BTS haters and rival Ok-pop fandoms.
Followers 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.
Regardless of the web 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 because you were born, and something bad happened on the same day 32 years later. Y’all sick in the head turning everything into fan wars,” wrote one fan.
“Why is it always Aespa stans, BP stans, and New Jeans stans acting psychotic and insensitive? Mind you, he is a South Korean citizen living in South Korea, not you,” one other remark learn.
Comparable remarks might be seen on social media in defence of the BTS member.
It’s pertinent to notice that Jin didn’t share any birthday posts on his official Instagram, nor has he reposted any birthday needs.
