A simple ‘repost’ from Jungkook sets things on fire: here’s what really happened

As Jungkook celebrates the success ofARIRANG by putting his fans in the spotlight, a little sharing changed everything.

By relaying the choreography of the dancer @nyoung…2, the member of BTS had no idea that he would trigger a wave of harsh criticism, plunging the idol and the creator into the heart of a burning debate on online responsibility.

Since the release of the group’s comeback album, ARIRANG, he regularly communicates with his fans and shares videos related to the pieces of the project. In this vein, he notably reposted a video of a South Korean dancer, known under the name @nyoung…2, who performs a choreography to the title Hooligan.

Very quickly, the video attracted attention on the platform. If the performance received positive feedback, some Internet users criticized the dancer’s outfit, which they considered too “revealing”. Negative comments accumulate under the publication and end up spreading on X. Faced with the situation, the dancer then explains that she received hate messages after sharing her video.

This story revives online debates on the responsibility of public figures. Some Internet users believe that artists followed by a large audience must be careful about the content they put forward. According to them, high visibility can draw too much attention to a creator and cause overreactionssometimes to the point of harassment.

More many fans quickly rise to the occasion to defend Jungkook. They remind that he cannot be held responsible for the behavior of Internet users after his shares. They also explain that his publications mainly serve to support fans and highlight their creativity. They insist on the fact that he cannot control the reactions of millions of people online, nor the excesses that result from them.

At the same time, other fans specify that the attacks against the dancer do not come directly from Jungkook’s actions. According to them, he simply uses his networks to share content related to his songs and interact with his audience. They therefore estimate that the negative reactions observed online cannot be attributed to him and that it is unfair to hold him responsible for the behavior of other Internet users.

And you, what do you think?
