Screens from a public livestream appear to show printed images and notes left inside the venue. Fans say the behavior repeats offline harassment and are calling for swift action from the label and hosting platforms.
Popspur — Oct 23, 2025
Key points:
- A TikToker filmed inside the café and displayed/left printed images of Jimin and Song Da-eun.
- Multiple visits were streamed (as visible on the platform UI).
- PopSpur reviewed screenshots and screen-recordings submitted by readers.
What happened
According to footage and screenshots shared on online platforms, a livestreamer entered the family-run café associated with BTS member Jimin and filmed around the venue while placing printed materials— including AI-manipulated images featuring Jimin and actress Song Da-eun. Multiple streams appear on the account’s public history, indicating more than one visit.
Why it matters
Offline escalation: What begins as online fan disputes can become targeted harassment when it moves into real-world spaces, especially a small, family business.
Privacy & safety: Repeated filming, leaving materials, and provoking staff/patrons can create safety concerns and may implicate local rules on harassment or obstruction of business.
Synthetic media risk: AI-edited images can be weaponized to defame or spread rumors and are difficult to retract once circulated.
Context & prior incidents
Fans point to a 2024 wave of hostility that reportedly pushed Jimin’s father to remove posts from his personal account to stem abuse. Observers compare the current situation to the worst moments of earlier fandom conflicts, calling it “worse than Larry” because it repeatedly manifests offline at a physical venue rather than remaining an online disagreement.
