Thankfully this time, it's a bit less serious.A couple of days ago, the idol uploaded a few chic mirror selfies. While many fans noticed him and all of his details, a rare few noticed the barely-seen printed phone cover.The artwork was of Sukuna from the anime Jujutsu Kaisen. As claimed by a fan, Twitter user robin @natgeohan, that specific artwork was being used by a manufacturing company without crediting or taking the original artist's permission. They wanted others to help Bang Chan know that he had probably mistakenly supported the manufacturer instead of the original artist. (They have now deleted their account).Robin (@natgeohan) translated a tweet from a Japanese STAY's account. After discovering Japanese STAYs were working quietly to resolve this, Robin using Bang Chan's name blew everything out of proportion.feji@19aIienthey could've targeted the seller (who is the real issue) but i guess user natgeohan was just too desperate for chn's attention6:52 AM · Oct 6, 2021121they could've targeted the seller (who is the real issue) but i guess user natgeohan was just too desperate for chn's attention https://t.co/lwg4OmxcCCRED LIGHTS 💌@badsadandmadyo@sta4ng3l @cb97Iife + APPARENTLY THE ARTIST SAYS THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S IN FAULT IS THE STEALER, NOT CHAN!! and he's right7:05 AM · Oct 6, 2021433@sta4ng3l @cb97Iife + APPARENTLY THE ARTIST SAYS THE ONLY PERSON WHO'S IN FAULT IS THE STEALER, NOT CHAN!! and he's rightRobin wanted others to educate the leader about it through the app, Bubble.

Especially when the Stray Kids member doesn't even post many pictures in the first place, citing some people cherry-picking the details to defame him as a reason.ً kyle ↯@chankkulokay yes, we can't deny the fact that the design was stolen HOWEVER IT IS NOT LIKE HE IS PROMOTING IT AND ENCOURAGING YOU GUYS TO BUY IT ?
