hi I was ia when the whole troye and hyunjin thing happened and I was wondering how did stays send hate to troye? when I search it all I get is people warning other from hyping him bc he's a zionist but what else did they say? I'd be grateful if you answered cuz I'm really curious and sad about the whole situation

Hi, I'll try to summarize bc I can't detail each thing that has happened or been said.

First, he is not a Zionist, the alleged proof has been debunked. Anyway, the witch hunt against him started when he was accused of theft for using a Stay's edit on his own account, except that editor stole content from k-stays' videos, so I didn't get the logic here. Add to that that some Stays (and kpop stans) wanted to gatekeep Hyunjin, some said T.S. was irrelevant and using Hyunjin for clout (the same reason they harassed another artist called Sam Tinnezs who saw Hyunjin's PWF), some acted like T.S. was predatory towards Hyunjin just because he's a gay man-- T.S. wanted to reach HJ, some Stays speculated that he wanted his number, that he had ill intent. Those were LOUD in the Tiktok comments and on Twitter and had hit tweets. I argued with a few because I disagree with cyber harassment against an artist who did nothing wrong.

T.S. himself said he got hate messages and d.e.ath threats. This is regrettable.

My issue is that non-Hyunjin biased Stays showed disrespect towards an artist Hyunjin admired. If they can't show respect FOR A SECOND TIME an artist 'related to' Hyunjin, then they shouldn't speak about anything related to Hyunjin at all. They're ruining things for him and for his fans who are supportive of T.S. and Hyunjin. Besides, what's going to happen to the third celeb who will speak about Hyunjin? Will Stays act all mighty and harass them again?

I say "some Stays and kpop fans" bc obviously not all of them partook in the witch hunt and cyber harassment, but there were enough of them for T.S. to speak about getting tons of hate messages, which isn't okay at all.

It's fine not to like a celeb. What's not fine is harassment.
