On March 20 – the birthday of Stray Kids’ Hyunjin, the male idol’s hashtag on Chinese SNS platform Weibo suddenly became filled with faceshaming and slutshaming messages.
Additionally, the people who send these messages also set their avatars into an image that says “Death Day Hyunjin” , indirectly sending death threats to the male idol on his very birthday.

Netizens who witnessed the fiasco have been expressing shock that people would take fan wars this far.
