In recent developments, devoted fans of the globally acclaimed K-pop sensation BTS, known as ARMYs, have voiced their concerns and criticisms over what they perceive as excessive "stalking" of BTS's Jungkook on the social media platform TikTok.

This uproar comes in the wake of an incident involving a TikTok user whom Jungkook followed on the platform, reacting to the barrage of negative comments she had been receiving.

What has also intrigued netizens are the various accounts that Jungkook chose to follow on TikTok, which include dancers and fellow K-pop artists, among others.

However, the situation took a turn when fans began to notice that Jungkook had followed a dancer on the platform. It was then that ARMYs, keenly attuned to their idol's interactions, observed that some fans were expressing negativity towards the female user, both on TikTok within the comments section and on Twitter.

In response to this controversy, one user, @sjbleau, took matters into her own hands and posted a video addressing the hate she had received since being followed by Jungkook.
