With the Itaewon massive stampede vicissitude, there have been sparks of panic attacks and tragic showdown all across the globe. And amidst all of this, rumours sparked that BTS Jimin’s brother got injured at the very stampede too. Soon after the news circulated, ARMY flooded Park Jihyun’s social media.
But, no, it’s not Jimin’s brother, rather someone was impersonating Park Jihyun. When word of the video circulated, fans and ARMYs began exchanging questions. The man who reportedly impersonated Park Jihyun claimed to have minor wounds. It appears that several admirers attempted to contact Jimin’s brother, who responded by confirming it is not him. If accurate, this is really deplorable. This concerns us as being blatantly disrespectful given how shocked the entire world has been by the catastrophe.
A Twitter user wrote, “THERE IS A PERSON PRETENDING TO BE JIMIN’S. JIMIN’S BROTHER WAS NOT IN ITAEWON. HE WAS NOT AMOUNG THE INJURED. There are only two siblings of bts how have public accounts (JK’s brothers clothing brand & Hobi’s older sister clothing brand & personal Instagram)”
Another wrote, sharing the pictures, “Everyone don’t panic i saw a post on tiktok that Jimin’s brother is also on incident at itaewon Halloween festival and the convo picture of jimins brother response on my message”
