Yet, while many fans loved the showcase of friendship between the top idols, celebrating the genuine connection within the ’97 line, it unfortunately sparked some malicious hate and criticism towards Mingyu from a vocal minority online. The reason for this backlash seemed to stem from unprovoked negativity, targeting Mingyu simply for being Jungkook’s friend.

They called for an immediate end to baseless accusations and unwarranted negativity, reiterating the importance of respecting idol friendships and privacy.
