On July 1, Twitter user @koala613912 posted about the alleged behavior of some NewJeans fans during a recent BTS livestream.

You guys invaded BTS’s Festa livestream, left malicious comments in the chat, and dissed BTS. ARMYs couldn’t even enjoy BTS’s birthday because we were so busy reporting you guys. Do you guys think we aren’t doing anything because we’re stupid? We were quietly reporting you guys because we are so sick of your toxic fandom and were too busy enjoying the content

The user then alleged that NewJeans fans were starting a fan war.

Were you guys upset because you were offended by an article about another idol group and that the article didn’t say Bunnies were smart for starting trouble? What are you guys so mad about when ARMYs have witnessed you guys calling BTS has-beens and claiming that the only way HYBE survives is by throwing BTS away and supporting NewJeans?

The tweets have since gone viral and have been viewed over 300k times. Despite the user calling NewJeans’ fans out, however, many who viewed the livestream couldn’t relate. Some asked for proof that the incident even occurred, while other Bunnies revealed they don’t use Weverse.
