BTS J-Hope’s Sister Speaks Out Against Rude Comments

She asks for everyone’s understanding.

Recently, BTS J-Hope’s sister spoke out about disrespectful comments about whether she was pregnant.

A netizen asked, “Aren’t you pregnant? Or you lost the baby? There is no bump and you are wearing tight clothes and doing exercise.”

To this, she posted a response asking people to show respect for a personal matter.

Was about to reply, but the comment disappeared. We’re trying for a baby, but there’s nothing to share yet. Still, I’m honestly shocked that someone I don’t even know could ask such a personal and inappropriate question bout our private life. Even my close friends wouldn’t go there. When did I ever say ‘I’m pregnant’? I’ve said nothing, but some people here are making up stories like they’re confirmed facts. Now it’s gone from ‘she’s pregnant’ to ’she had a miscarriage’ to ‘she’s out drinking’? Seriously? I’ve been ignoring it because it’s so far from the truth, but it’s getting out of hand. Show some respect, please.

This isn’t the first time she has mentioned this and asked for people to be respectful.

Question: Are you really pregnant?

Answer: I’ve been getting many pregnancy questions today. So rude! I’ll be the first to let you know if I receive good news someday. I don’t want to receive questions like this, I beg you. I prepared hard for it, but things didn’t go as planned, so I felt guilty and had a hard time for a while. Now, I’m trying not to feel burdened by it. You might wonder why I am so sensitive over this, but every time we hear questions like this, I get stressed from the pressure. This might seem selfish, but I hope everyone can understand my situation. Thank you always. I’d appreciate it if you could stop asking whether I’m pregnant. Thank you for your understanding.

With this, netizens couldn’t believe how rude and disrespectful people could be on such a sensitive matter.
