Fans immediately raised concerns about Starship Entertainment’s repost.

Isn’t Starship a crazy b*stard? What are they doing? They’re RT-ing an AI photo made by a hater on the official account. What do they mean by that? Is their head filled with poop? Is this what a human would do?

Fans wondered if it was a mistake or a mole, for Weibo requires a double-prompt before reposting.

The post was allegedly created by a Wonyoung akgae.

Starship Entertainment issued an apology a few hours later.
