Just as girl group STAYC is slowly making its way to the top all thanks to their stable and growing fandom, fans of the girl group are pointing out how Knetz (Korean fans) are trying to malign the reputation of certain members and trying to create controversy out of nothing. In a viral tweet that was made in Korean, a fan of STAYC claimed that member Yoon was bullying member J due to her vocal range.

J (Jang Ye-eun), who has a rather hoarse and deep voice among other members of STAYC, started to be teased oftentimes in the past; and as long-running inside jokes between many fandoms go, members trying to mimic Jโ€™s voice became a gag among members of STAYC. Some fans of the girl group thought the repetitive act, more often than not from Yoon (Shim Ya-joon), was funny at first but now appears like she is bullying J.

Knetz claim STAYC Yoon bullies J due to her voice

The OP whose tweet is going viral now claimed that J was visibly annoyed by the repetitive mimicking and teasing she endured as a member of STAYC. In a thread, OP @@12sz9 pointed out instances of Yoon mimicking J and how J got uncomfortable often and tried to hint at Yoon to stop. OP said, โ€œNot just once or twice, but every time an album comes out, Jโ€™s voice and singing style is always openly imitated and her vocal range is joked about like this, laughing among themselves, and I don't know what the hell is funny about people who are being hurt and noticing them.โ€

The user then continued, โ€œI don't know if it's fashionable to mimic the vocal range of a person one by one within the group, and if they're all having fun together. Only these members are always busy mimicking each other's singing and voice, and I've never seen the other members laugh and chatter while mimicking their vocal ranges.โ€ Some fans also supported OP saying, โ€œThe quotes are gross clearly Jโ€™s not visibly happy, yโ€™all are just guilty that you failed to see that. 1 to 3 times is ok but your voice mocked every comeback? Iโ€™d be tired of it too.โ€

One user said, โ€œShim JaYoon and her fake personality, always mocking and making fun of people. The qrts literally agreeing with the bullying she did.โ€ Another user said, โ€œI personally hate it when someone mimicked my voice. J looked so uncomfortable ๐Ÿ˜ญ i feel her.โ€



 



 



 



 



 

'They don't have real-life friends' 

Swiths (STAYC fans) are not particularly happy about these negative comments on Twitter. One fan said, "J and Yoon will be awkward after this because of you..." One fan said, "Ppl are making stuff up again about yoon bully!ng J... and it's so annoying since they don't even stan stayc but they're making sh*t up." Another said, "WHATTT? why tf won't they leave the girls alone." Another said, "Those who say that yoon is bullying J, do you not know that these exist?" One fan said, "In general, the STAYC members (esp. Yoon & J) have a great bond. The doubt between their friendship is totally uncalled for especially if youโ€™re saying this because of a tweet an akgae made over Yoon doing Jโ€™s part on the encore stage when she said that J gave her permission."

One fan mocked OP saying, "People proving time and time again that they don't have real life friends." Another joked, "Keep barking. shimjangz always winning anyway." One angry Swith said, "OMG Who can recommend a good brain clinic to this blogger?" One fan said, "Yoon j will probably laugh at this." Another Swith said, "I'm gonna slam you right into a wall so hard that you and the wall gonna become close friends just like yoon and yeeun."
