STAYs are urging JYP Entertainment to protect Stray Kids‘ Hyunjin.
Hyunjin has been receiving cyber attacks, including offensive, hateful messages, and death wishes, on not only public social media platforms such as Instagram but even paid platform JYPnation for Bubble.
Hyunjin has received pictures of one of his photocards ripped in half, along with disturbing texts.
Hwang Hyunjin’s dead body rots with maggots
The perpetrators have replied to Hyunjin’s own Bubble messages with rude messages too. For instance, when he would send a selfie, they would reply with criticism of his appearance.
Most of all, Hyunjin has received harmful messages, including death wishes, on the app.
It was previously exposed that over a thousand netizens in a group chat coordinated to purchase his Bubble subscription in order to cyber attack him.
Tell your fans to stop fighting with Lee Know fans for the best dancer title [for you]. Also, tell them to stop arguing with TXT Yeonjun’s fans
He read it
You’ll be fat if you keep eating, stupid
This is unfortunate since Bubble should be considered his “safe space.” But even without Bubble, he can’t escape the attacks across Stray Kids’ shared social media.

On Instagram, netizens have filled the comment section with disgusting comments about Hyunjin. STAYs are attempting to prevent it by reporting malicious accounts and commenting positive messages.
Several netizens also teamed up to “dirty” Hyunjin’s searches on Twitter so that his name will come up with negatively associated words.
accounts to spam negative words with his name and also spread threads of misinformation that is very damaging to his image and career. They do this when he is active and when his name is trending. This has always been an issue but is becoming so “normal” that it is getting

clear. It’s been very hard because these accounts are almost always spamming to make sure the negative phrases stay in his searches.
Besides the template we are working on, we are asking all stays to please help out on the future events we have planned to make+

that is all we can unfortunately do. Again, we are asking to please keep an eye out on accounts that are purposely hurting HJ’s image and to report them ASAP. Also please send us any account that you see that is tweeting negative and harmful things so we can report too.

This is such a frustrating issue that has been going on for too long and we have to stop it. I know we’ve done email templates before but we HAVE to keep pushing these issues to JYPE as much as we can. It is not fair to HJ that over two years later this is still happening.

Some STAYs suspect that the guilty party is primarily solo stans or akgaes. These are malicious fans that, rather than simply liking just one member of a group, also hate the other members.
Akgae (악개) is a K-pop fandom term for a fan who likes only one member of a music group and hates the others. It is an abbreviation of ‘akseong gaeinpaen’ (악성개인팬) or ‘malicious individual fan.’

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.

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

I'm begging you whoever doesn't like Hyunjin pls stop harassing him or any other members. Idols are human too and did nothing wrong to us. Pls act like humans which you claim you are.
JYPE, protect your idols before something bad happens, it's your duty.

He's just a boy who has grown up, worked hard and gives his best to us every day of his life. He deserves nothing but love and respect and to be protected from these malicious attacks.
