IVE's leader Ahn Yujin is currently facing severe cyberbullying on Chinese social media, sparking outrage among fans.

On November 26, a post on X (formerly Twitter) revealed the extent of the malicious attacks targeting Ahn Yujin. The post quickly went viral, gaining 230,000 views and drawing attention from fans and online communities worldwide.

A user claiming to be a Chinese fan shared their frustrations, saying, “I’ve repeatedly contacted her agency about protecting Ahn Yujin, but there’s been no action.” They described the attacks as “out of control” and “beyond imagination.”

The fan revealed that Chinese netizens have been spreading false rumors and sharing manipulated images of Ahn Yujin to defame her.

“The scale and intensity of the bullying are damaging her reputation,” they added, urging her agency, Starship Entertainment, to respond firmly.

Fans in China have even organized protests, including a truck demonstration, demanding the agency protect Ahn Yujin. However, Starship has not issued an official statement, leaving many fans frustrated.

Comments from fans echoed this frustration:

• “The agency must act, even if it’s in China.”
• “Ahn Yujin deserves protection just like any other member.”

Some speculate that the bullying intensified due to IVE’s I AM music video, which featured Korean traditional elements like jeogori and norigae.

Ahn Yujin’s use of a gombangdae (traditional smoking pipe) sparked accusations from some Chinese netizens, who claimed it was “stealing Chinese culture.”

The issue flared up again after the 2024 MAMA Awards, where Ahn Yujin was accused of “stealing” Jang Wonyoung’s part during a performance. This claim gained traction on Douyin (Chinese TikTok), further fueling the hate.

Meanwhile, Starship recently won a legal case for another IVE member, Jang Wonyoung, against a defamatory online platform. Fans are now urging the agency to show the same level of commitment to protecting Ahn Yujin.

The lack of response from Starship Entertainment has left fans anxiously waiting for action, with many calling for justice to protect Ahn Yujin from further harm.

Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
“I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
