Netizens are accusing JYP Entertainment of failing to protect Stray Kids member Hyunjin after trucks with malicious allegations were seen outside the company’s building.
There were some serious allegations written and fans upset over negligence
New trucks displaying extremely serious accusations were seen outside JYP’s building on March 21st. These trucks are believed to be sent by “akgaes,” a term used for K-Pop fans who only support one member of a group and may target other members with negativity. The messages displayed on the trucks appear to be aimed at damaging Hyunjin’s reputation.
The allegations include questioning Stray Kids’ album sales figures, suggesting fans only buy albums for Hyunjin, and accusing him of past bullying and inappropriate personal behavior.
- Million-album seller? No!! How many albums did the fans of other members buy? Let’s return the support all 7 members should receive evenly.
- Stray Kids do not have any problems if Hyunjin leaves the group. Can you look your colleagues in the eyes? Hyunjin, you’re treated well!
- JYP firmly take care of this. Don’t try to blur the truth. Fans aren’t stupid.
- Hwang Hyunjin leave and stop negatively affecting the team. Chinese Stays are with Korean Stays.
- Kyungshil (referring to Hyunjin), are you happy you sang two songs in a row? You look cool now that you pulled up your pants and are acting like an artist.
- Hwang Hyungjin, you have 3 strikes, now get out. Out 1, school bully. out 2, Han Seo Hee. Out 3, did you like the one-night stand?
Fans expressed outrage that JYP Entertainment has seemingly not taken any action to address the situation. This resulted in the hashtag “#JYPEWorstCompany” trending online, with many netizens sharing their anger towards the company’s inaction.
HYBE & YG took legal action for online trolls in 2021.

Previous Incident and Empty Promises?
This is not the first time such trucks have targeted Hyunjin. A few weeks ago, similar trucks appeared outside JYP’s building. The company responded with a statement condemning the malicious rumors. However, the recent incident has fans questioning the effectiveness of those statements.

Many fans believe JYP’s response was merely empty words, especially considering the new trucks are parked in a location where Hyunjin would likely see them. This has caused significant distress among fans who feel the company is not prioritizing the well-being of their artist.
Current Status
As of today, March 22nd, 2024, the new trucks remain outside JYP Entertainment’s building. JYP has not yet released a new statement regarding this incident. Hyunjin himself has not commented on the situation publicly.
Stray Kids is a popular K-Pop group known for their energetic music and strong performances. Hyunjin is a main dancer and rapper for the group. The ongoing situation has caused significant concern among fans who are worried about the impact it may have on Hyunjin’s mental health and career.
