Both idols are ambassadors for Calvin Klein, and on June 4, they attended an event in Tokyo for the brand for Jungkook’s new collection. Unsurprisingly, there was a moment between the two idols that is going viral as the two interacted and showcased their friendship.

However, as most of the hate seemed aimed at Jungkook, SEVENTEEN fans made clear that they were not the ones starting the hate train towards the BTS member and hitting back at the retaliation.

All of you are so miserable, the ones who are non-Carats using Mingyu to fight with that fandom need to back off and use your own idols instead, and the other fandom who are waiting to be raigebaited need to open your eyes and use your brain and go fight against the actual haters https://t.co/5a88GKuV1p
