They then added a screenshot of a website that mentioned the company and the link to weapons, with the final paragraph specifically mentioning ADLINK’s products being used for both Israeli tanks and US missile systems.

ADLINK’s products have been integrated into Israeli tanks and U.S. missile systems, enhancing their targeting accuracy and operational performance. These systems rely on ADLINK’s embedded computers to process battlefield data in real time, enabling rapid response and precision strikes.

The post began gaining attention, and the screenshots were shared on Reddit, revealing that some fans are harassing netizens for posting the images.

In the comments, some explained that they didn’t understand why fans tried to hide it, sharing that while many might wonder how it is “relevant” to YangYang, it is based on the possible links to the idol’s upbringing, especially as he is known for a more privileged childhood.
