User Claiming To Be BTS Jungkook’s Mother Sparks Massive Backlash

Recently, a user on Threads garnered significant attention after claiming to be BTS Jungkook‘s mom.

Thank you for being fans of my son, Jungkook. I am Jungkook’s mother and manager, Choi Jong Yeon. I am here to inform you on my son’s behalf. There are many scammers pretending to be Jungkook and taking money from fans. Jungkook has never demanded money from anyone, including for membership cards. Please do not fall for these scams. Jungkook’s official accounts have a blue check next to them. Thank you. If you are a true fan, please leave a comment below or a message of support through DMs. If you would like to chat with Jungkook, please message me. Please don’t fall for these low-life scams.

They posted AI-generated photos of Jungkook, and while most could tell it was fake, some left comments thanking her for giving birth to him.

• “How many moms does Jungkook have?”

• “This is crazy…they should not touch his family.”
• “It’s so funny because it’s so blatantly AI.”
• “There are always so many AI-generated things regarding Jungkook.”
