While Jungkook celebrates the success of ‘ARIRANG’ by honoring his fans, a small share changed everything. By reposting the dance choreography of @nyoung⌵2, the BTS member unknowingly triggered a wave of harsh criticism, plunging the idol and the creator into a heated debate about online responsibility. Since the release of the group’s comeback album ‘ARIRANG,’ he regularly interacts with his fans and shares videos related to the project’s songs. In this spirit, he reposted a video of a South Korean dancer, known as @nyoung⌵2, performing a choreography to the song ‘Hooligan.’
Quickly, the video drew attention on the platform. While the performance received positive feedback, some internet users criticized the dancer’s outfit as too “revealing.” Negative comments piled up under the post and spread on X. Faced with the situation, the dancer later explained that she received hateful messages after her video was shared. This story reignites online debates about the responsibility of public figures. Some internet users believe that artists with a large following should be mindful of the content they promote. According to them, high visibility can attract too much attention to a creator and evoke exaggerated reactions, sometimes leading to harassment.
However, many fans swiftly defend Jungkook. They point out that he cannot be held accountable for the behavior of internet users after his shares. They also emphasize that his posts primarily aim to support fans and highlight their creativity. They stress that he cannot control the reactions of millions of people online, nor the consequences that follow. Meanwhile, other fans clarify that the attacks against the dancer do not directly stem from Jungkook’s actions. They believe he simply uses his platforms to share content related to his songs and engage with his audience. They argue that the negative online reactions cannot be attributed to him, and it is unfair to hold him responsible for the behavior of other internet users.
And you, what do you think?
