On Thursday, October 23, 2025, Chyna, a fan who was spotted receiving a hug from BTS' j-hope during his Los Angeles concert of his HOPE ON THE STAGE World Tour, was called out for criticizing the K-pop boy band. In a TikTok video released by a user named Kourtney, a fan commented that BTS' donations to charities and other causes were relatively low when converted to US dollars.She expressed that since they donate money as a group, each member's donation was significantly less. The fan continued to state that fans of the K-pop boy group donated significantly more than the group itself. Additionally, she explained that the donations and charities supported by BTS were merely a PR stunt to increase their popularity and likability among netizens. However, ARMYs soon called out the fan for being hypocritical and criticizing the boy group while still attending the group's concerts.ARMYs also stated that the donation amounts were huge numbers in Korean currency, and it was unfair to convert them into US dollars when BTS members' earnings were not in US dollars. Moreover, ARMYs also expressed their disappointment with Chyna, as she had received much love and support from the fandom following her interaction with j-hope, only to later falsely accuse the band's members of their alleged low donations and charity work."She didn't deserve that hug," said an ARMY.my boyfriend's in the band⁷ 🍝 @lovejiminaaLINK@ywhh07 She didn't deserve that hug.More fans and netizens criticized the fan, Chyna, for her alleged hypocritical stance against BTS after going viral for hugging j-hope during his HOPE ON THE STAGE World Tour.alyy⁷ @ywhh07LINKfor those who don't remember, chyna is the person who the entire armytwt praised her after hugging hoseok during his tour. now she's agreeing with an anti spreading misinformation while the comments accuse the members of crimes and she feeds this sh*t... this is so frustrating.Evans⁷ is living the dream in 2025 @AigojeongukahLINK"The fans donate more than the members" Yoongi alone donated billions for the treatment center I don't see her doing that.

Cuase 9/10 (times) the fans donate more than the members and even fo events catered to supporting charities in the name of the group instead of the group inspired me to support off my own violation.

That would show more genuinely."Fans and netizens have consistently defended the BTS members while also calling out the fans' alleged recent hypocritical comments.
