Stray Kids' HyunJin Has Been A Victim Of Vicious Cyberattacks For Over 2 Years

Stray Kids' main dancer HyunJin has been exposed to a disturbing amount of hate on multiple social media platforms such as Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and even the paid platform Bubble.

Weibo

Around a year ago, a group chat of over a thousand people was exposed to have purchased his Bubble to send massive coordinated attacks against him.

🚨IMPORTANT🚨

An akgae groupchat named “bullying idol hwanghyunjin’s fansite CN” has been exposed on weibo where they calculate attacks on HHJ’s bubble.

We ask STAYs and Hwangers to send HHJ love if you have his bubble and to report it to: [email protected] pic.twitter.com/PD47rVxjGb

Okay translation is weird. I said that some c-akgaes of a certain member has been defaming hyunjin, making lies about him while pretending to be Korean, mistranslating his bbl and relates articles on purpose to make him look bad.

This went so bad that he even stopped going on social media altogether including Bubble, which he had previously termed as his safe space.

this bbl community was hyunjin's safe place. he was always so thankful and happy to have it but they ruined it. if you have community please send a lot of love and warm words to hyunjin

here is a list of phrases you can send him in korean. please do it

This was eventually revealed to be orchestrated by some solo fans.

It's pixies again. For more than a year they have been harassing Hyunjin en masse in the Bubble, now they are harassing him in the community. Please report them and also send a report to jype. https://t.co/lQPIs8MdcL

He sadly can't even escape from these cyberattacks on Instagram either, with fans having to flood the comment sections of each of his posts with love in order to drown out the hate.

🚨 Report these accounts on Instagram spamming HHJ’s recent posts with hateful comments and emojis

On Twitter, tens of dedicated accounts were created to continuously "Dirty his searches" a term coined in K-Pop for associating an idol's name with negative words.

There has been organized attacks to mess up HJ’s searches for a while now. Antis from other fandoms and akgaes will use an algorithm where they tweet certain words (with his name) during a comeback, concerts, when he releases vlogs, etc. They are creating MULTIPLE burner

For HyunJin's fans, this is saddening to see, and so far, nothing has been done to curb this and protect his mental health. We really hope his company can look in to this and take measures to stop these from happening.
