As Kpop idol stars, every time they stand on stage, they are always artists who devote themselves to the au∂ιєnce. Their concerts always attract thousands to tens of thousands of fans to cheer for their idols.

Especially, as a world-clαѕѕ superstar like j-hope, he always receives enthusiastic support from fans throughout his concerts. In response to the enthusiastic cheers of fans, j-hope also does not hesitate to approach fans at close range or interact directly with the au∂ιєnce below the stage.

However, recently, j-hope's friendliness has been taken advantage of by a group of fans who lack awareness. After j-hope's first concert in Saitama, נαραи on April 19, this issue has escalated.

Specifically, some videos recorded during the concert showed j-hope walking along the barricade and generously shaking hands with fans. This interaction of j-hope happened in many different ways throughout the concert and even at the end as a farewell.

When the idol greeted the fans, most of them responded respectfully. On the contrary, some others made the fandom angry when they had inappropriate touching behaviors, some even hugged him without permission, another person even touched his stomach and countless other hands reached out to his body...

Despite being touched by the crowd, j-hope still showed his professionalism and continued to perform. This further fueled the anger of ARMYs because of disappointment when he was treated disrespectfully.

While j-hope openly wanted to be close to the fans, they took advantage of his kindness, taking the action too far. "Try thinking about it the other way around…What if a male fan did that at a girl idol concert? The bodyguards would snap his wrist on the spot, drag him out, and send him straight to the ρσℓι¢є — and no one would try to stop them, right? Please, just show some respect. Treat them with care", an angry fan wrote.

Another ARMY made a similar comment: "At previous performances, there was a respectful atmosphere—if the artist reacted positively, then light physical interaction happened naturally. It felt mutual and considerate, which was nice to see. But here, it just looked like people were excited to grope him like he was a walking mannequin, and that honestly made me feel uncomfortable…I hope people can remember that he is not a doll— he is a human being, and should be treated as such".

While other fans pointed out that this was not the first time this happened at a j-hope concert. Previously, a fan, in мєχι¢σ concert, touched his stomach regardless of the distance or the idol's reaction. As soon as the video went viral, ARMYs also took to social media to express their disappointment.

Even though it was a lesson but now, some fans still did these rude behaviors. On SNS, there were comments criticizing and reminding fans to be aware when attending future concerts:

- In all αмєяι¢αn performances, he was able to interact even closely with Army without them being disrespectful or trying to touch him, but here they are acting like animals... it's especially weird when japanese fans are known to be more polite and respectful...

- It's not even hugging, they are touching inappropriately...WTH is happening with נαραиese fans, this didn't happen in any North αмєяι¢αn city....it was also a נαραиese fan that caused that controversy with Jin...why is always one person ruining it for the whole fandom?

- It's so not ok. It's incredibly disrespectful. Was the lady at the Jin event really sued? I hadn't heard about that, but it serves her right. That was horrid behavior

- Absolutely! This behavior is disgraceful and disgusting

- how did they downgrade like this? Whole international tour is so respectful at every stop and here at the one tour that the expectations are highest, ppl go n fυ¢к it up. ew.

- No and no. U don't hug him without his consent. U don't rubb his chest like he's an object.... people wanna be sued like that lady at jin event or ???

- 1. Touching the torso of a performing artist could disrupt the performance and is disrespect. 2. Kissing the performing artist is not hygienic. 3. Violating the boundaries could limit au∂ιєnce interaction in the future. 4. We all need to behave better.

- Whats wrong with japanese armys just because he close to you kissing his hand others hugging and touching him like that disgusting respect the artist

- they have a lack of manners and are a bunch of delulu ρєяνєятs. not all but a large number. The problem is some of those are going to be on the airport with the wallet ready to marry him....
