The demand for Stray Kids’ Hyunjin to leave the group has escalated among fans.
On March 14, photos of a protest truck stationed outside JYP Entertainment’s office building, calling for Hyunjin‘s departure from Stray Kids, circulated widely online.
The truck carried various messages, including “Hwang Hyunjin, get out,” “Who gave Stray Kids the image of bullies? You’re so cool, Hyunjin,” and “If you can’t fix it, throw it away! Stop holding back the team, and get out.”
Hyunjin has been embroiled in several controversies, starting with a school bullying allegation in 2021, followed by a controversy over his phone wallpaper featuring aespa‘s Karina.
he most recent issue involves rumors of a “one night stand” with former idol trainee Han Seo Hee. However, it was later revealed that the screenshots of their alleged chat logs were fabricated, and Han Seo Hee denied their authenticity.
As tensions rise, fans are urging JYP Entertainment to address the situation and take appropriate action regarding Hyunjin‘s future in the group.
Netizens are having varying responses to the protest truck, commenting, “They shouldn’t have kept him after the bullying controversy,” “To be honest, I feel like the group could be bigger with a positive image if it weren’t for him,” “They should only criticize him for his mistakes. He was a victim of malicious rumors,” “Three controversies? What else was there besides bullying,” and more.
