Top Tweets for #PROTECTSTRAYKIDS

Recently, we raised awareness about a community organized for the systematic harassment of Felix. This was done carefully and deliberately to ensure that no specific fandom or member was targeted in the process. In response, the akgaes behind that site have attempted to justify their ongoing harassment in 2025 by circulating materials from a private chatroom that no longer exists and disappeared in 2021. These materials are being selectively shared with specific fanbases to vilify the Felix fandom and legitimize their current actions targeting felix . Using anonymous, out-of-context content from a hate site to excuse continued attacks against Felix only fuels misinformation and prolongs conflict. They have also claimed that posts on large Korean general community boards are written by “Felix fans.” These platforms are not fan communities; they are public forums that include non-fans, where hate posts targeting Felix are frequently uploaded as well. It is unreasonable to suggest that thousands of comments across Korea’s largest sites, such as Theqoo, are all written by Felix fans simply to associate him with every negative incident. This hate site consistently exploits emotional fandom conflicts as a pretext to exclude Felix. While falsely presenting themselves as “OT8,” they have raised funds and sent protest trucks, deliberately creating the narrative that the wider fandom supports Felix’s exclusion. Currently, certain fanbase accounts are actively enabling this hate site by repeatedly resurfacing the same four-year-old narratives and materials created by malicious users. Behind the scenes, at least one individual member fanbase has been directly assisting akgaes. Before making our first public post, we privately contacted multiple individual member fanbases to warn them about the situation and asked for help spreading awareness through direct messages. Multiple fanbase admins were aware of this before our initial post. Shortly afterward, akgaes demonstrated clear knowledge of our outreach, made posts indicating they had been informed, and directed slurs at us. At the time, we could not identify who had disclosed our private warnings or who was secretly cooperating with them. Due to this breach of trust, we made the decision to move communication into the public It later became evident that there were plans to leak a group chat from 2021 in order to retroactively justify akgae actions in 2025. Only one individual had access to that chat and that is the akgae responsible for organizing the protest trucks. That individual worked in coordination with Hyunjin Central, who assisted these akgaes in leaking the chat and using messages from other akgaes in 2021 as a shield for their current behavior. We want to be absolutely clear: we do not agree with the contents of those chats, and we do not believe that akgae behavior from the past should ever be used to justify akgae behavior in the present. Recycling private conversations from 2021 will only inflame fandom tensions, prolong conflict, and prevent any meaningful resolution. We do not incite fandom infighting. Our goal has never been to attack fans. Our goal is transparency and fair treatment for every member. We believe all members deserve respect and protection, and we emphasize that Felix is a valued member of Stray Kids who deserves that same respect. Felix has endured the same patterns of targeted hate that other members have faced, akgaes harassing him on Instagram, on Bubble, across community platforms, and even in real-life encounters. This harassment forced him to stop using the LoveStay hashtag on his Instagram posts, made him rarely check Bubble messages and community posts, and contributed to him turning from an extrovert into an introvert after negative experiences with akgaes in real life. However, we have never chosen to resurface incidents from years ago to redirect anger or justify harm toward other members. Digging up past conflicts only perpetuates cycles of harassment and shifts focus away from accountability in the present. Our priority has always been protecting members now, not weaponizing history or siding with those who cause harm to “win” an imaginary war while far more serious issues demand your attention instead
