On the same day, according to a Korean media outlet report, a TikTok account named bunkook posted horrifying edits of BTS' Jungkook with inappropriate images. The post has also been shown to be doing dark magic. It had Jungkook, Jimin, and Suga's pictures.

Apart from this, Jimin and his family have started getting threats online. V also started getting hate and threats. On the platform Weverse, pictures with guns started circulating, which led many fans to worry about the idols. However, V and BLACKPINK Jennie's recently edited photos ignited dating rumors about the duo, and this has been one of the reasons why the member is currently getting a lot of hate.

Moreover, the group's leader RM also got online hate with offensive comments when the rumor started of him being the most handsome face over British actor Henry Cavill by TC Candler. Thankfully, the official platform for TC Candler responded on the matter.
