An American entertainment media outlet faced backlash from fans after accidentally using a photo of BTS’s Jimin (real name Park Jimin) in an article about news related to a French film.
On November 16, according to AFP News, the American media outlet Deadline published an article about the ‘Révélations’ event, where the French César Academy announces 32 emerging actors.
However, instead of using a photo of the actress Park Jimin, who played the lead role in the French film ‘Return to Seoul’, Deadline mistakenly used a photo of BTS‘s Jimin.
Fans of BTS quickly noticed the error and pointed out that Deadline correctly identified Park Jimin as a female in the article, but used BTS‘s Jimin‘s photo.
One social media user, X, criticized Deadline’s mistake, stating, “It took me only 1 second to search for the cast of ‘Return to Seoul’ on Google. Especially when you don’t know much about the artist you’re writing about, make it a habit to search.”
Additional users retweeted Deadline’s post while expressing their disappointment and criticizing the outlet for the error.
