IVE's leader Ahn Yujin is currently facing severe cyberbullying on Chinese social media, sparking outrage among fans.

On November 26, a post on X (formerly Twitter) revealed the extent of the malicious attacks targeting Ahn Yujin. The post quickly went viral, gaining 230,000 views and drawing attention from fans and online communities worldwide.

A user claiming to be a Chinese fan shared their frustrations, saying, “I’ve repeatedly contacted her agency about protecting Ahn Yujin, but there’s been no action.” They described the attacks as “out of control” and “beyond imagination.”

The fan revealed that Chinese netizens have been spreading false rumors and sharing manipulated images of Ahn Yujin to defame her.

“The scale and intensity of the bullying are damaging her reputation,” they added, urging her agency, Starship Entertainment, to respond firmly.

Fans in China have even organized protests, including a truck demonstration, demanding the agency protect Ahn Yujin. However, Starship has not issued an official statement, leaving many fans frustrated.

Comments from fans echoed this frustration:

• “The agency must act, even if it’s in China.”
• “Ahn Yujin deserves protection just like any other member.”

Some speculate that the bullying intensified due to IVE’s I AM music video, which featured Korean traditional elements like jeogori and norigae.

Ahn Yujin’s use of a gombangdae (traditional smoking pipe) sparked accusations from some Chinese netizens, who claimed it was “stealing Chinese culture.”

The issue flared up again after the 2024 MAMA Awards, where Ahn Yujin was accused of “stealing” Jang Wonyoung’s part during a performance. This claim gained traction on Douyin (Chinese TikTok), further fueling the hate.

Meanwhile, Starship recently won a legal case for another IVE member, Jang Wonyoung, against a defamatory online platform. Fans are now urging the agency to show the same level of commitment to protecting Ahn Yujin.

The lack of response from Starship Entertainment has left fans anxiously waiting for action, with many calling for justice to protect Ahn Yujin from further harm.

BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
