Escalating Harassment Targeting BTS’s Jimin and His Family
Recent revelations indicate that BTS member Jimin has faced relentless attacks from a group of individuals on social media platform X. Disturbingly, these haters have not only targeted Jimin himself but have also extended their vitriol towards his family. The motivations of these aggressors appear to stem largely from shipping wars among fandoms.
Among the most alarming behaviors reported are the dissemination of false rumors and even death threats, specifically targeting the Instagram account of Jimin’s father’s café. This distressing situation forced Jimin’s father to close the comment section of the café’s social media profile, a clear indication of the pressure they have been under.
In light of the harassment, Jimin’s father has taken the drastic step of erasing all mentions of his son from the café’s Instagram account as well as his personal social media pages.
jimin’s dad’s cafe deleted everything about his son on their page & yall blamed it on the media instead of calling out tkkrs and the akgaes who harassed them, now they closed their comment section because yall always protect shippers first before jimin. idk what to say anymore.

This situation has sparked outrage and concern among Jimin’s fans. Many are urging larger fan communities to address the issue and advocate for Jimin and his family openly.
Complicating matters, Jimin’s father previously faced criticism for allegedly trying to capitalize on his son’s fame through activities such as organizing fan meetings and selling signed merchandise. While some fans labeled these actions as exploitative, others defended him, suggesting these efforts were merely attempts to bring joy to ARMYs who miss Jimin during his busy schedules.
Interestingly, some speculated that the backlash against Jimin’s father may have originated from the very same detractors who have harassed them online, pointing to a troubling cycle of negativity within certain segments of the fan community.
